    I recently bought the G.R.S. Bracelet former from Rio Grande and had
    to return it. The Dapping block had pits or porosity and the tool was
    made very poorly. Is there anyone who has experienced otherwise? I
    also bought the Rhodium Charcoal Decontaimenater after talking to the
    tech I was told this does not remove metal contaminants. He said a
    coffee filter would work as well. This is what I have been using for
    years. I returned both with them piking up Fed-ex. It seems the price
    of tools keep going up in price, while the Quality keeps going down.

    I would like to hear from those who have made cuff bracelets with
    out the hydraulic press thats so expensive. I have the bracelet
    mandrel but am looking for a better and quicker or yet more
    productive way. 

Thanks Johneric
