effex member Registered: 30/01/06	Written by: effex Some jewellery makers become ''jobbers' which mean once they know how to do the basics they are able to rent a little space in an existing workshop and offer services to the local jewellers. (ring sizings etc) A few jewellers who have a workshop rent out a bench and facilities to jobbing jewellers for a nominal fee or certain jobs in exchange - say a few sizings etc. Ask around and ya may find one. I know of a few in my local area but that is Sussex. Most of the advice and contacts I have are in this area. if you are prepared to advertise in the trade magazines or websites for a position I can give you thier links. Written by: effex Even doing a part time sales position in a silver or gold smithery will teach you alot. In order to sell your designs/ pieces you will finally need that retail experience. this will not only teach ya but give you a few links and contacts and introduce you to the people and business. Nb you want a dentist / hand drill not a power drill, maybe this is what ya mean. You can probably if ya hunt around find an in-expensive grinding motor that could have polishing attachments. _________________________ smile and people will wonder what yr up to.

Registered: 23/06/04 Loc: ffidrac	way to go anthrax!! sounds like it will be very exciting opportunity, best of luck! bov> ah ha, ok, so it's polishing practice you be wanting.... so i have another idea, although it might not be a good one... how about finding a part-time adult education course that you can do in jewellery, it might be very basic, but i think mostly they let you work on your own projects anyway and you could potentially borrow their equipment?? i don't know if that could work, but it could potentially give you 3 months or so using someone elses equipment, and wouldn't cost as much as uni.... _________________________ Aurinko freedom agreement reached 10th Sept 2006 if it makes no sense that's because it's NOn-sense.
