One of the few things you can do with A Rolling Mill

HOW COOL IS THAT?

Put this in your pipe and smoke it!

Looking for a quick way to make the perfect Bezel? Go to your local hardware store and get a piece of pipe, while you are there pick up a pipe cutter for under $10.00 . Check out the great bezel you can make with very little time or experience.

How to use a Dapping Block

What are these things anyways???

You might need this

If your going to make and sell Sterling Silver jewelry you are going to need one of these. This is a pocket size jewelry scale, they come in all sizes with different weight measurements. Mine has the ability to weigh in grams, oz, dwt & ozt. I like having the ozt because when you buy sterling at a show they are weighing in troy ozt. (ozt) and when I weigh out my sterling pieces to sell I weigh in grams and when you buy sterling wire it is weighed in oz. It's great to have if you sell your scrap silver back to know how much you are trading in.


Okay so lets say you have a scale .... how do you know if it is reading correctly? you want to calibrate it every once in a while and for that you will need a calibration weight. My weight is 200g, turn on your scale and place the weight in the middle of the scale and make sure it reads 200 exactly ... if it doesn't you run a calibration test according to your scale directions.

You can purchase a scale like this at Rio Grande or any place that sells jewelry making supplies. If you live in the Las Vegas area our local Bead Store GBM carries them at a great price.

Gotta Have this too - Lilly Punch

This is the coolest little punch ever. It works just like a regular paper punch except it is used for metals. It works like a dream on the Silver Art Clay and I couldn't be without it when working with light weight copper sheet. This little punch is only $12.95, it comes in two sizes, you can find it on Metal Clay Supply website, click on the link on the right hand side of this page under; Cool Vendors.
