Hi New York area Orchidians,

    I'm going to be in NYC for MJSA and to visit my mum, and have been
    prevailed upon to give a couple of workshops while in town. They
    will be held at Celia Bauer's Studios (they rent benches too I hear). 

    Catches, Hinges and Mechanisms
    Thursday, March 3

          This workshop deals with catches, hinge and mechanism making,
          its tricks and considerations. Simple and complex hinges are
          described and discussed. An introduction is made to box catch
          making, other catches are described. Lewton-Brain is the author
          of the book "Hinges and Hinge-based Catches for Jewelers and
          Goldsmiths". 

    Bench Tricks
    Friday, March 4th

          This workshop is an information packed compilation of
          goldsmith's tricks and fast, sure  construction procedures for
          building jewelry.  Toolmaking possibilities for bench aids are
          dealt with and cheap, easy to make versions of complex tools
          are discussed.  There is a fair amount of lecture and
          demonstration time in this intensive workshop-be prepared to
          take notes. Steel theory, hardening and tempering may be
          touched on.The workshop may include a range of subject areas : 
          basic toolmaking, hardening and tempering,  fitting and layout
          for catches,  flex shaft tools and uses, construction tips, 
          soldering and soldering tricks,  material and tool sources. 

    If you are interested call Tevel at 800-645-7124 to register. 

best
Charles
