Hey Mike and crew! Contrary to popular belief, goldsmithing is quite a dirty job. I am the office manager and only get somewhat dirty (but I still refuse to wear white to my job!) All the filing, buffing, polishing, soldering, smelting, cutting of metals, using boric acid, flux, methynol, enameling, wax carvings, epoxy, honing, eating chocolate, jewelers rouge (not eating that, yuck) and changing watch batteries on funky watches that have been on someones wrist for aeons! The guys I work with are so much fun, of course I like to contribute to the craziness that goes on around there, too! It would be a riot to have you guys come to "the shop". pretty please with sugar on top!!!!
