Hi Dave,

    As a CAD designer who sits at a computer, and very little at my
    bench any more, I would say goldsmithing is only slightly more
    physically challenging than pushing a mouse, but it's still a matter
    of sitting on your butt most of the time. You do need some strength
    in your hands and wrists of course, but there's really not much
    physical exertion. There are often alternatives to the rolling mill,
    if that's necessary. 

    I might mention that I know an excellent goldsmith who has no legs,
    and does everything from his wheelchair. For him, it's the perfect
    profession.
