Thanks man..  I am going to be be making about another 10 hours or so of vids detailing all the different aspects of milling jewelery in laymans terms to keep on my website for customers and general consumption. that was a precursor.. hopefully my directors skills will improve..

On a side note.. and i have asked ths same question in other quarters.. im getting tired of jewelery.. but i cant figure out what else to do that will include cad and cam and my handskills in another industry that will pay better? I earn way under what guys around me in other trades are (with far less skills than me (not being facetious))  are and i am not getting any younger... at 37 if i want to trade hop the time is now..

any suggestions? job offers? random million dollar donations to my cause?
