  • metalwork and pregnancy

    Question: is it safe to continue jewelry making while pregnant and breast feeding? Or, are the chemicals in flux, solder, pickle and fine metal particles unsafe for a developing fetus and baby?

  • Jewelry studio safety — safety glasses

    I think that October should be "Jewelry-Studio Safety Month." While jewelers are going into overdrive to bulk up their stock for the holidays, they need to keep studio safety in mind. Wearing nonflammable clothing and safety glasses, working in a well-ventilated area, and using tools as directed...

  • Studio Ventilation

    I have been reading various past posts and seen a lot of questions about exhaust and ventilation for the studio. While I am not an engineer I have had a little experience in the area of ventilation. OSHA has a whole list of requirements for ventilation and exhaust. Just to say that one has a squirrel...

    Since I don't have access to a studio and my butane torch can only do so much, I just bought a 'plumbers torch' aka a small propane can with a torch head. I want to anneal larger pieces of metal, and ball copper and larger gauge sterling wire that the butane torch doesn't have the power...

  • Ventilating your work space advice

    I'm wondering what others use to ventilate their workspace. I work out of a spare bedroom in my house and need some better ventilation. I can open the window and use a fan to pull some out, but the wind can also blow it back in! I know there has to be a way of getting the fumes from the torch and...

  • Liver of Sulfer

    I would like to know a little more about liver of sulfer usage. I just mixed some and dipped a few pieces and it seems to work well. However, I am left with the mixture and don't know if I should keep it in a closed jar or throw it out. Should it be mixed fresh each time you need it and if so how...

  • Re: Buliding an Hydraulic press

    K~Soul, I envy where you live, being Oakland, CA. If you really aren't comfortable in building this yourself you might consider a class or workshop in basic machine work and you happen to live where there is a very nice Industrial Arts school. http://www.thecrucible.org/ I've never been here...

  • Re: Buliding an Hydraulic press

    You can certainly drill the holes yourself. Since it's mild steel do make sure and use a center punch first in the middle of your hole and depending on the size, you may want to open the hole up in stages, for instance a hold that is 1/2" in diameter you might want to drill out first at 1/8"...

  • Re: Buliding an Hydraulic press

    I haven't made any designs that would fit a Hydraulic press as of yet for Jewelry but my background has a machinist has found me using them for a number of years. I looked about for samples of the Bonny Doon design and don't have a ready look just at the moment as I understand that they were...
