    That's what I am in the process of doing myself. 

    After years and years of working for other jewellers as their
    in-house jeweller (and getting whatever pittance they decided to pay
    me) I left the trade for a few years and did some better paying work
    until I could afford to buy my own bench and tools. 

    I now have a reasonably complete setup at home and I get repairs,
    remodelling and manufacturing work from jewellery stores (including
    one I used to work in-house for). 

    My aim is to open my own shop at some stage as things gain momentum.
    Although sadly I've had to take a break as my wife died in a car
    crash 3 weeks ago. About to give the shops a call and get back into
    it though. 

Cheers,
Dale
