   My personal sugestion is find out ahead of time all the tools, costs ect each style is and go from there, take it slow as you progress you can always do more. I do simple stringing I find thats more my speed at the moment the rest take a whole lot more equiptment then the simple beading tools, but! None of this is cheep! If you want to go in that direction read up on all kinds of beading. My personal fav are the gem stones. Good luck

   lol well speaking personally it is but its also fun and very interesting too. When you start you need to ask yourself what exactly you want to make theres a lot of different kinds of jewelry making. Such as beading, simple string is easier. Theres working with metal, gold, silver etc, theres clay metal, theres a ton just depends on what youd like to do if your not sure get a few different books at the library and see what looks intresting and what it all involves.

   There are times when a visor is not practical, eg driving a car, climbing a mountain or even peeling a potato. The visor I use has a hinge so it can be moved out of the way. I first starting using one when setting a curb link bracelet with 1 pointers, 4 per link pave set. I was able to get the same standard of detail that I was getting with larger stones. So when you look at my work with your x10 lens you be happy. Maybe the mag’ is too strong if it’s getting in the way when your piercing.

    While you have explained a few of the tools

    The chasing hammer is less use than a ball pein
    The large rawhide mallet is all that you need as a mallet
    The optivisor is only for those with poor eyesight .. I didn’t use magnification until I turned 40
    Your bench won’t catch any lemel (filings) it needs a 1/2 round cut out and a tray underneath or a cloth to catch all the lemel
    Good practice for when you upgrade to gold
    Happy experimenting

    can you make the Hope Diamond?, I know it’s a 45. 5 carat blue-diamond. It glows in the dark because of the light, nitrogen and boron interacting on it.

    i dont know about anyone else, but i don’t have everything she said and i get along fine. i have a small variety of files, big and small, and only one hammer, it’s two sided, one to smash and one to shape. But i’m surprised she didn’t mention anything about a soldering and fire or about polishing. who would want a scratched up piece of silver?

    gets in the way? what are you using your head for? You should buy yourself a mallet, it cuts down on all the head work!

    i know there r diff. mags. but i still find it just gets in the way, done it all, still get gr8 results anyway, all you need is a 10x loupe and good light source, helps if your not blind too….

    that first hammer was a chasing hammer, not a ball peen.

    there are different magnifications silly. When you move on to more detailed work you’ll find them useful. Especially good for pave setting small diamonds and fine filligree work.

    nope i have good eyes, the optivisor only magnifies it slightly, hardly makes any difference, i get perfect results on anything and everything without it, my 50yr old boss gets good use out of it tho :p

    I found the optivisor to be one of those tools like the gravermax benchmate that you can do without until you start using it.
