    OK guys this is what, the 19th century, is there anything that is
    handmade with no modern power. My first thought is maybe a
    footpowered potters wheel or sewing machine. I don't really care
    what the FTC says, I am calling my work handmade and I am marking my
    pieces with the mark of all the metals that I use. My customers want
    that and thats what I give them. The FTC guidelines were created to
    have standards for the large manufacturers but they really did not
    help the art jeweler. I will follow the laws as close as possible
    but not all the way. Lets get real people, do what you think is right
    and most likely that will be right. How many of you follow the speed
    limit laws.
