Don,

    I understand what you are saying.  I said many of the same things
    before I took the test.  Last time I looked JA had a "war chest" of
    over 10 million dollars and could afford to lower their dues and
    fees, in my opinion. Anyway, back to your question, get a copy of the
    Alan Revere video on building a silver box.  Alan does an outstanding
    job going step by step.  It took all of the mystery out of the
    project for me.  I don't work very much in sterling either.  So, I
    made a practice box after seeing the video. Another idea is to go to
    the Professional Jeweler website and look for a past article with
    Jeffery Matthews using a Foredom Allset to cut groves and folding the
    box sides.  The article is in the section on Bench Certification.  If
    you like, email me off-list. 

Have fun and good luck.
