[QUOTE="GypsyGoldAu, post: 310189, member: 5873"] Ok, you folks now got me interested... :( ( :lol: ) When you first begin 'cutting' your teeth on these machines the first time 'ever' using one... Do you use your 'gems', or practice on, say, rounded river rocks of various composite, before 'risking' your gems? Not sure what, if any, 'gems' are around here as i haven't gone down that path as yet, but i do like the idea of finding/cutting/mounting my own finds. To date all i've had a go at was soldering bails and ear-ring backs to some of my <1.0g bits... More practice time required, but my new venture is consuming most of my time atm. (Luckily much done from homebase :D ) PS... it was the linked thread above that got me reading this one lmao... ;) Gypsy [/QUOTE]
