Hi,
We’re currently gearing up to work on two articles for an upcoming issue of MJSA Journal, and I was hoping to pick the brains of Orchid’s resourceful bench jewelers.
The first article is on homemade bench tools. Have you ever made your own tool because you just couldn’t find something out there that could do what you needed? Care to share the story behind the how and why you created it?
The second article we’re working on is looking at shop storage solutions. Did you develop an ingenious way to store some of the many tools that pile up in a jeweler’s workshop? Are you interested in sharing what you did with our readers?
If so, please contact me at shawna.kulpa@mjsa.org at your earliest convenience.
I look forward to hearing your stories! 
Best regards,
Shawna Kulpa
MJSA Journal, Editor
