I am loving the hobby. Just started a year ago and am amazed at

a) the possibilities for growth and learning and the progress I have made with the help of fantastic people

b) the wealth of help and support, and free 'impromptu' lessons from our amazing local supplier, Capilano Rock and Gem. It is a fantastic family run shop where everyone on the floor is a fellow traveler!

I am now trying to solder copper wire to silve sheet, so if anyone has tips, send them to me!
