    I started in a high school jewelry class. 1st thing, saw piercing,
    then a ring, then a bezel set stone. These could all be incorporated
    into one piece or not. When people want me to teach them, that's
    where I start. And in the process they learn about soldering,
    annealling and lots of other goodstuff, including how to get a broken
    drillbit out! ;) 

    Not many tools needed, lots of sawblades. The school here teaches
    metals, since the teachers spouse is a "Locally famous" silversmith. 

    I like teaching. It's especially rewarding when I have a student
    with desire to learn and the apptitude. Had a student recently,
    picked up the saw and it was like they were old friends. 1st pierced
    piece was preatty darn good. 

Good luck and enjoy.
Candy
