Welcome to the lab.
Which is actually a shoe box.
Anyway, work has begun on a few jewelry pieces. They began life as nasty, fake silver bracelets with heart shaped plastic and pewter decorations. The decorations were the first thing to go. Underneath that terrible silver finish, there is a lovely copper, now sandpapered to smoothness and a nice sheen.
Unfortunately the weld/glue/solder points from the original decorations have left a residue that somehow goes deeper than flush with the surface of the bracelet. I'm at a loss for how to get rid of it.
Further decoration will likely cover those, assuming I find no way of removing them. At the moment, considering using the shutter assembly from one of the old cameras as a base. No real idea of where that will go yet.
As I have seven of these bracelets, I plan on using one or two to make some wrist mounted ray guns, though I'm lacking components. I may also end up using the jeweler's saw to make some interesting shapes, not sure yet.

For the cracks and crevices (crevii?)
if you can get to Harbor Freight, they have a nice selection of dental pick type tools.
Looking forward to some interesting pics of your designs. :-)
