Welcome Arthur

Thanks Guys,

Robert, I was going to get comfortable for a bit, thanks for the heads up. I'll try I seperate thread, in a bit, but anyone who might have some thoughts, it is greatly appreciated.
I have two projects in front of me. One, is really any puzzle that we can move to CAD, we wish to cast, and finish in precious metal, (Platinum, 18K Gold, and Silver). Of course we are likely to have a size limitation of 2-3 inches. we would also like to add diamonds, rubies, etc. Thi is the industry I am in, so the production side is natural. We are unsure of the "feel" yet as to whether a burr or a"berrocal" type piece is best received. In addition, If the size and style are foremost, it would work as a wearable piece of Jewelry, as opposed to a table piece. We are exploring the opportunity of doing any design in rings, in any metal, and are working leads for tungsten, ceramic, Titanium, etc. So if anyone has a thought, a dream, etc., in this area, I'd love to hear.
the second is a box, puzzle box, what else, for several pieces already in production. Robert has been more than genrous with his ideas, and thank you John and Steve, th Heart box has potential. We want to initially use some exclusivelly with finishe products of jewelry, but I also have a demand for simple, yet original ideas, from Jewelry box companies, who wish to move to mass production.

Wow, and I'm suppose use this forum to throw sticks, and put gum in your hair!

Robert, you got me into business too quick......I need my nonsense back, Its Saturday!!!!!

Off to a wetlands festival in Christmas, Florida, and an afternoon of Pinball.
