    How do I attach findings to finished jewelry pieces?  For
    instance... I cast a piece I wanted to make a pin out of.  The piece
    was finished, polished and all, and I bought a nickle silver pin
    assembly.  It was the complete kind, not the kind you put the hinge
    in later.  I soldered it on, and the nickle silver annealed.  What
    other way is there other than glue?  What about lever backs? Those
    tube ends for rope chains?  For that matter... any chain end on any
    chain?   I'm being asked to do more repair than custom work and I
    usually don't do it, but I also don't make much money...and repair
    would help.  Thanks for any advise...
