Highlights from Jewelry Making Tutorials and Helpful Hints


CGM Finding's archive of helpful jewelry making information all in one location.
A great place to pick up hours of jewelry making information for free.
Recently we added some interesting information about Helpful Hints at the jewelry bench.
Fortunately there is a lot of information out there - The problem is the good stuff is hard to find.
Quite often we list information we find, as we find it, which you should check out since we have some really invaluable information in there to complete your jewelry making projects.
Here are just a few highlights of great tips and jewelry making tutorials we have found that are interesting, we enjoyed reading, or have gotten something out of it.u shaped jewelry bench pin bar
For example, this U shaped bar fits your jewelry bench that allows more effieciency and a better grip for your Bench Pin from EuroTools. Actually a really great write up on "Getting a Grip" on Ganoksin's website. 
We also found out that if you are up to it you can modify your Bench Pin to do something similar in terms of adding stability with your Bench Pin.
Just grind in an added notch and it just may make your life a whole lot simpler.

Behr Paint has a great little online website section for color palette use. Very nice and useful if you are playing around with color.
As well as our previously discussed and reviewed Design Seeds, which is also a remarkable tool for color design, inspiration and managment.
