I was repairing my son's plastic car and how the glue set reminded me of flux flow. Seeing it in a simple context really made the concept clear for me.
I mean, it was stuck for ages and I almost gave up. But after a lot of careful filing and a new spring, it clicks perfectly now. Feels good to fix something that tricky.
I mean, idk maybe it's just me but I have these glass jars for my gemstones on my workbench. They look nice but every time I need one, I have to dig through them all. It's slowing down my work and I'm worried about spilling them. I thought about labeling them, but the labels peel off from the dust. Has anyone found a better way to store loose stones? I'd really appreciate any tips you have. Thanks!
Tbh, I've noticed almost every shop in town opts for recycled silver and gold. It cuts costs and customers love the green story. Honestly, it's changing how we buy materials.
I squeezed in a simple ring resize for a neighbor and didn't bill them. He says it cheapens our skill, but I see it as just being nice. How do you handle little jobs like this?
I didn't know if I should charge full price for the reset or tell them the truth about the metal... it kept me up at night.
