Rusty,
Welcome. I haven’t heard the term mechanic since I left
jeweler’s row in Philly some 11 years ago. Out here in
california they call us bench jewelers. Hope you enjoy the info
here. I have just gotten alot of good tips on reticulation and
fusing gold. Speaking of which, I want to thank everyone who
replied to my post for all your valuable I have done
reticulation in silver and been very successful with it. It was
moving into 14kt that I was having trouble with. I will try all
the tips given me. Thanks again, you’re a good group of people.
Barry
