Hello all
This is my first post here, all that I have seen so far has been
great!
Well, I’m a complete beginner, I have no tools/equipment or
knowledge, just lots of enthusiasm !
So i’ll be looking to the list to gather as much and
knowledge as possible (before I start out !), in order to minimise
expensive mistakes… (this is only going to be a hobby, after all !)
I had an idea that I would start in silversmithing, then graduate to
gold when I became more confident (and competent).
I have a lot of good book references from the list, but what about
tools ? (Apart from the usual hand tools and a good gas torch). What would be your first large investments ? (no pun
intended)
Any addresses for used tool and equipment suppliers in the UK would
also be most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Paul Wakefield.
