    HI all, I'm a lurker who is enjoying learning from all of you
    posters-thanks for sharing! I am currently a hobbyist but
    need/want/hopefully will be doing more with my studio style jewelry. 

    For now, I have a question regarding 2 old sets of tools that I own
    but don't know how to use! I've looked everywhere to learn about them
    but cannot find a thing-I'm betting someone here can enlighten me.
    They appear to be old stone setting sets ? made by K & D. Each is in
    its own wooden handled fitted box. Each has a working stand mounted
    with circular table on which to work and there are about 50 nicely
    polished steel punches (look like beading tools) with various
    circular and concave/conves polished heads; there are also about 10
    auxiliary pieces which appear to fit onto the working table of the
    main tooling stand. 

    I'd appreciate any help finding a source for instruction manuals for
    using these-they are very nice quality and I'd love to find some
    instructions on how to use them! And, yes, you have probably guessed
    that I'm a tool freak ;-) 

Thanks in advance-Jan
