    Noel, We (my wife and myself) make all of our income from being
    jewelry slaves. I have had apprentices over the years. After the last
    one decided he wanted to fish instead of work, I started training my
    wife. She keeps begging me to fire her. I do work for four stores. I
    have a studio in town nearby (SEE Orchid bench pics) and a bench set
    up in a mall store. The mall store generates the most work. I do a
    Penny's store and two antique jewelry stores and anything that
    crosses my path. Customs and tons of repair work. I have had my own
    stores over the years. This last incarnation has been about nine
    years. I spend a very unhealthy amount of time in the mall store. I
    am a contractor and basically lease a very small room. It is the
    width of my bench with a counter top on each side of the bench and is
    about eight feet long. Stuffed with steamer ultrasonics buffers my
    bench and tonight we actually had four people in there at once. The
    sales staff uses my buffer to do free ring cleaning. It is starting
    to get to me and I was actually thinking of working solely out of my
    studio or opening another store but after reading the truth or dare
    posts I am thinking may be I should wait. The grass is always
    greener..........
