[Jewelry making - Article 00908] - [Orchid] Explaining metalsmithing

[E. Luther]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

    A friend (a non-metalsmith) was over yesterday and of course I was
    showing off my bench.  He asked to explain the process of
    metalsmithing, and while I explained casting and he got that right
    away, he found my explanation of metalsmithing to be lacking. 

    How do you describe metalsmithing briefly?  He didn't get the
    process of how you take sheet metal and turn it into something. 

    This question is also partly prompted by a post on another list
    about the "elevator speech," that you should be able to explain what
    you do in 30 seconds, or, during an elevator ride.
