Hectic times indeed. Pendant necklaces are go!
Standard will be 1mm x 4, small medium and large braided kangaroo leather in black, an Argentium 960 11mm lobster claw latch with two Argentium 940 jump rings connecting the braid. The beautiful 4 x .75mm strand micro braid necklaces will now be reserved for deluxe Argentium 960 pendants only.
I am still searching for a synthetic necklace material option but there is currently none in sight.
Also practicing madly to ensuring my manual braiding will produce the best possible result.
I have priced many automated/machine braiding options and it looks like I will make my own machine.
The cheapest option is a Spanish made one that starts @$12kAud. They don’t seem to make the one I
actually found online anymore and would have been app $4k?Aud cheaper. So to make one is the go.
Adding a third cell to the PKJM FA casting room requiring digging, levelling, paving and concreting the new area.
Just as I am ready to pave & concrete we are expecting 200mm of rain over the next day or two. Darn!
I already have a cutlist for the new steel framed workbench which will have a marine ply top skinned with stainless steel as the working surface.
I can’t wait to fire up my Duralloy 171 Mutlimig welder to stitch the bench together.
It is very easy to produce such an item when the steel is pre-cut to my specification by the supplier.
Take care and I shall post again soon. 8^)
