[Jewelry making - Article 01187] - [Orchid] Bombing machines

    I'm sorry but I have to ask. In my quest to heighten productivity by
    getting machines to do the things that take so long by hand (and as
    I do so blowing any hard earned money that I actually take - sales
    are slow to start!) my eye has passed across a bombing machine. I
    liked the sound of it - well apart from the cyanide stuff that would
    seem to be the active ingredient, but anything that gets rid of
    firescale, restores the metal to its original colour etc etc. must
    be great right? The price of even a mini version is phenomenal
    though so I want to know if anyone out there has used one, has one,
    would recommend one etc. We are looking to really push up our
    production, at the moment its just me but I'm getting one of my
    designs produced by a 'real' manufacturer and kinda resent paying
    over the odds for something I could really do myself - with more
    equipment!! Does anyone have any advice? I was blown away by the
    response to my last question (cleaning after polishing) and have
    actually invested in a little ultrasonic cleaner as well as taking
    advice on board for hand cleaning. Whoever suggested the baby's hair
    brush and other non scratchy ones has my thanks!! Thanks in advance
    for any advice and thank you also for the postings about the flux
    and the cats (I have 3) and the inspirational stories about children
    at camp getting into jewellery making (I have a 2 year girl who I
    have just taught how to bead her first necklace with some cheapy
    garish glass ones and some leather thong, she is so proud of it and
    doesn't want to take it off!) 

Regards to you all, Mel
