We haven't yet tried the graphite lube in the lock on Fabio's cabinet; maybe tonight. I thought we has somne graphite lock-lube around somewhere, but maybe not, so we'll need to acquire it.
Simple jiggling does NOT work; I have tried many varieties of that.
So: 2 weeks later: still no functional stand for poor Fabio, and it is getting past ridiculous given the prices of all these things.
Ahem. Anyway.
I am making a sort-of resolution to do at least SOME website updating on a weekly basis. We shall see how long I manage this. :P Anyway: I do have a new pic up in the home page on
http://www.afmetalsmith.com, and it is also on the new page (plus, I've removed some older stuff), and it even has its own page for details.
This is an "Annular Brooch"- an ancient brooch form- decorated with birthstones for the 12 months. I'll add that this is one jeweler's idea of funny (at least conceptually- annular = annual= equals birthstones... well, you probably had to be there!).
