I am currently working as a service tech at Lux Bond & Green
jewelers. In my real life, I have a small make-shift bench, some
hand tools, and a butane/air torch to play with in my basement. I
haven’t had any formal training, but I buy every book I can find on
goldsmithing and I love to bounce ide as off the repair goldsmiths at
work and bring things in for them to critique.

Basically any help and I can find is beyond value as I
can’t really find the time or funds to get more structured training.

Hello everyone, I am an old member of the orchid forums. Been away
for a while. I recently opened my own jewellery store in my hometown
of Naoussa Greece. I also have my own workshop. I design and make a
lot of my own pieces for the shop and am thinking of expanding the
workshop to include more hig h-tech equipment like CAD-CAM. I
recently bought the PUK3 and am very excited with it. I’m looking
forward to seeing your posts and eager to contribute myself to the
forum.
