Hey Don,

    Do you remember when you first got hooked on making jewelry? I do. I
    couldn't get enough of it. I worked late into the night, I read
    everything I could find, I talked to everyone who would listen. I
    made what I could with the few tools I had. I was very fortunate to
    find a German master goldsmith who was impressed my dedication and
    took me on as an apprentice. I had full use of a fully equipped shop.
    I also realized that he really didn't have a LOT of tools, just the
    best tools. When I finished my training with him, he gave me a tool
    that was given to him by his master. He made me promise to teach
    others, and to pass that tool on, if I ever trained a master
    goldsmith. 

    I meet a LOT of students. Some are making jewelry because it's a fun
    hobby, some because it may lead to a satisfying career, and a few
    because it is their passion. If I can help those passionate few by
    offering some old tools, or advise, it makes us both happy. I know
    that many of us have a lot of tools that we no longer use or need.
    What better way to give an old tool a new life? 

Doug
