Hi, I'm about as new to this as you can get. At this point, jewelry is a hobby for me but is something I would like to take to the next level. I'm working with beads, chainmaille and wire wrapping right now but I would like to learn about things like casting, soldering/welding, gemology, settings, repairs and anything else I can pickup. Right now, I'm still trying to set up an area to work in besides my computer desk so if anyone has any suggestions as to what part of the forums I can head to, I would appreciate the help. Hopefully I won't be too much of a bother. Thanks, Frank
