Hello
What tools do you need for good metalsmithing? Ive been working with basic silver, doing basic designs and want to further my skills.
My skills are basic at the moment and id like to learn how to make rings using traditional techniques as apposed to using precious metal clays.
Ive been using beads etc and just threading them, so i dont know how i would go about connecting a gemstone to a piece of jewellery - How would i do this? Solder?
Any good books or tutorials on the subject? I havent been able to find a course in my area (Manchester)
I asked a similar question a while back on the basics and was pointed in the right direction so im hoping you can help me again
