Dear Current Administrators of TBA, Stop erasing posts and topics. All of you. As a regular of TBA who loved it dearly, you have no idea how much it kills me that so many topics were left to the trash without member consent. And it wasn't just drama posts -some of you deleted any post that you didn't like, from roleplays, from anything...you deleted the entirety of A Very Potter Roleplay, as an example. As the creator of that roleplay, I realize it was somewhat of a failure, but the fact that it was erased without my consent is upsetting, and there were a few members who enjoyed it. I realize that there were some things posted on TBA that many of us are not proud of. Drama and the like. But even with that drama, TBA was so, so, important to me, and others. Yet, certain moderators have ignored this and have erased topic upon topic -that showed in the Administrator history. Even if you say it was only a single topic or a single post, the forum has been trimmed down. You say this is only "cleaning up the forum," but it's erasing our history, and I won't stand for it. To those of you who've returned to this forum only to remove things periodically, please stop. It simply isn't fair to those of us who are nostalgic and like looking back, and I know I don't speak of myself alone. With all due respect, LL.

Metalsmithing Introduction

Metalsmithing is the process of taking metals and manipulating them into the form of jewelry. The 'manipulating' encompasses all kinds of techniques including shaping with hammers, stamps, punches, dies, doming blocks and mandrels, cutting with a saw or shears, drilling, adding rivets, soldering, engraving, etching, forging, stone setting, and casting. Metal is malleable and is therefore a brilliantly versatile material, and the different designs you can create with metalsmithing are endless.

Metalsmithing is separate to wirework, with wireworking being where wire is used to create a variety of jewelry components and ornate creations. Wirework is an easier and less expensive skill to start learning because it doesn't require as many tools, and quite frankly it isn't as easy to hurt yourself with wirework!

When working with metals, especially when sawing, texturing and heating, you need certain equipment and tools on your workbench. Scrap wood is always useful to have to save your bench surface, and a wooden bench pin and clamp is highly recommended for working with sheet metal. When using a hammer, the metal you are working on must be against something that is not your work surface; this is either a metal block (resting on a leather sandbag to deaden the noise), or a doming block or some kind of metal mold which you want to shape the metal onto.
