    I have just figured out how to use the board and wanted to introduce
    myself I was on a couple of years ago but laked in the computer
    knowledge to efficently do anything. I have been a jeweler for 14
    years doing custom work for several stores in Tucson I have been
    lucky in that I dont have to do any repairs just make new pieces. I
    make holloware as well mostly just for fun but do get the occasional
    baby cup and spoon commision. I also make most of my own tools like
    hammers and forming stakes as well as tooling for a 250 ton press
    that I built I will post pictures of it when I figure out how to do
    it or convince my wife to do it for me. I recently aquired a straight
    line guilloche machine or engine turning machine and have been making
    neat patterns on stuff  I would love to hear from anyone out there
    who has one or is interested in this type of equipment as they seem
    to be pretty rare mine is a kenloc made around the turn of the
    century I hope to find a rotary machine someday as well or I might
    try to build one. I have a complete machine shop and do repair on
    rolling mills and make custom rolls if any one is in need. I will be
    going to the orchid dinner in Tucson so I hope to meet some of you
    there. 

Sincerely 
Kevin Potter
