I have begun a new list for beginners, rockhounds, small shops,
small casters, at home businesses, teachers, and anyone
interested in sharing concerning jewelry making,
silversmithing and silvercasting for the above groups of people.
It will be a place where you can safely ask the even simple of
questions and answers with out any fear of being flamed, told to
get a clue, and dah, having someone answer you comments that just
want to flame and not educate. It is NOT a place for large
volumne casters, with vacumn casters that only cost 2 gs (last
time I heard 2 gs, someone ask me to kill someone in Chicago area
almost 30 years ago, so I think that still means $2,000.00). Most
beginners trying to figure out the best method of casting for
them do not want to spend that much to get started. It will not
be a place for building egos, “I’m better than you, I’m smarter
than you, I do more than you” ego crap.
It is unfornuate that many luckers to Orchid have emailed me
privately asking for on steamcasting because they
were affraid to ask on this list.
I will continue to participate on this list, but do not wish to
bore the entire list with things just for beginners and the small
people, like my self. I have learned a lot in the short time
since I joined this list and I thank everyone for that. I look
forward to learning even more.
If you would like to join my list just email:
Jewelrymaking@listbot.com. On this list we will even talk about
beading.
