I’m new to jewelry crafting. I’m very interested in learning more
about all aspects of jewelry right now.

I retired a year ago as a cross country truck driver covering all of
the U.S.A. and Canada… 50 years and 4 1/2 million miles. The last
few years I started to make jewelry in the cab of the truck while I
was backed up to a dock getting loaded or un-loaded, some times as
much as 24 hours, that was wasted…I started by utilizing the ART of
KNAPPING, which was taught to me by The Marine Corp.in 1957 and
making the points into jewelry and it has progressed from there to
now I want to learn precious metal casting and try to combine the
two into an ART form…Dallas
