Hi everyone! 

    It's income tax return time and I will take a portion of my return
    and make a donation as this website is full of incredibly intelligent
    and unselfish people of wisdom. Since I have not much in the way of
    knowledge to contribute I thought this would be a way to say thank
    you. Besides I don't want the website to crash because it does take
    time and funds to keep all of the archives, resources and promotion
    of artists work available. And all who benefit from this "free
    website" can at least give what ever amount that is possible. I know
    times are tough for many, but I also know that when people give even
    a small amount, many times it is the smallest donations that make the
    difference--and my experience has been that the amount I gave
    usually comes back to me in the way of knowledge and results in the
    sale of higher quality jewelry. At least for me this has happened.
    No I wasn't coerced to say this but felt compelled to say it because
    of anyone who is lucky enough to get a refund, it may be the best
    time for those people to help out a little. 

    That said, I want to puchase a welder that will help keep multiple
    pieces of a project together before soldering. Laser is out of the
    question but I would like to know what people like Peter Rowe and
    others who might have used the machines thinks of them. I also would
    like a graver mate of some sort but since I'm not a high production
    person-would a micro motor with a hammer piece work for raising beads
    and help with bright cutting? 

    I have read the archives but would like input from some who have
    used these machines and what the machines capabilities are as far a
    size of the piece and what I can get away with. I do mostly small
    pieces, filigree, rings etc. 

    Thank you in advance for any advice and I warn you if anyone calls
    me a dummy--I know a guy who does knee caps--Ha! Well I think it's
    kind of funny. 

    Thanks again for everything you all do!! 

Anna Herrick
