    Polishing is separate, pickle pots, ultrasonics and light bulbs are
    auxilliary systems not directly involved in making jewelry - you
    don't use a pickle pot to bend metal. 

    I really don't care what anybody wants to call their own work. I
    consider the blown up aspect of this thread to be pretty interesting
    - Why is it such a big deal to some to even use the term hand made
    at all? - as one pointed out yesterday. If I use the term myself,
    it's just casual - I don't put it in print or in advertising just
    because I don't - it means that I sat down and crafted it with my
    own two hands, and often there is no electricity, yes. I want to
    stress that I DO NOT CARE what other people think or want to do -
    I'm not trying to convince anybody otherwise, I'm not arguing the
    point and won't. It's just what I do for myself. Just me and the
    metal and the stones. Pure stuff.
