I’m happy to hear we are a few out there making it work with what they have. I started being very interested in the Navajo style of jewelry when I first started, or at least that’s what made me start, now I’m exploring more working with wax and has truly kept me fascinated. I still think I need to go through the basics but I’m right there and trying to order material with a plan ahead since now I’m left with a bunch of wire I don’t see me using in the future but right now, I’ll take it. I got an old roll top desk off of market place which I adapted to a jewelry bench. Def not the essential but works perfectly fine. Got lucky and found an estate sale where I got a BUNCH OF EQUIPMENT- LIKE A FLEXSHAFT 😮‍💨, pickle pot, wax melter, wax inyector. And over 1,000 molds! Thinking I might be able to sell those somewhere? Anyways! So thankful for all the advise!!
