During lockdown I have been trying to get back to my old liking for sketching. Not very good I’m afraid but rewarding. This is my attempt at a self portrait. 😳.

Just me and my boy Jake hanging in there in lockdown. Entering our third week, we have to be sure mum is safe. He has decided to sleep with me now🤫

I love this pic of rough diamond in a miners hand. Not my pic but one from last months Pro Jeweller Magazine.

This is a 14k yellow gold Bulova wristwatch. It was bought for me by my middle son Jozif for my 70th birthday. What is especially nice about this gorgeous timepiece is that it was made the year I was born 1941. Not bad for a 79 year watch methinks.

A great little Mini-Steamer for my Repair Workshop.

The Ballerina by my FB friend #hamishbowie. I bought it for my wife as a Christmas pressy. She trained as a junior at the #theroyalballetschoolwhitelodge before following a career as a professional dancer. Unfortunately now in her 26th year Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). Thank you Hamish not only a great jeweller but also a wonderful artiste. @arlenephillips @ondge @petitrecords @maryann.connolly.5623 @jozifmusic

Finally got myself a half decent vice. Thanks to @vanillainkthesmiddy who pointed me in the right direction.

A couple of recent commitments.

Received the Rose gold wedding band I made back from Goldsmith’s Hall after hall marking. I was a bit disappointed to see a very slight ‘flat’ on the outside of the band where the mark had been punched! I was quite surprised I would have thought these guys had it together by now. Fortunately, once I had repolished it isn’t noticeable unless you know it’s there.

Stills from live German TV in about 1972. The Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group.

Customer’s daughter had a piece cut out of her later father’s 60 year old Rose Gold 9k wedding band. The customer wanted me to melt the ring down and make a new ring 5 sizes bigger keeping the same width just around 10mm. I found working with this old Rose Gold very difficult. I had to only go through the mill twice then anneal and quench in Methylated Spirit TWICE. Took forever but patience payed in the end. #atthebench #madeinwales #markantonyjewellery #customized #remodeling #rosegoldring

Stage one of a commission to redesign a 7 diamond tube set dropper earrings. Into a Daisy flower design with one claw set larger diamond in the centre. All set on 18k white gold. This daisy pic is just a mock up on silver plate.

Think I misjudged the size, but it’s great, it hides a multitude of....sins!😊.

When I was in the Interns 1964, I was endorsing Trixon drums and Paiste cymbals. This was a studio shot from a BBC TV drama called The Four Seasons of Rosie Carr. I wonder if anyone can spot the logo on the bass drum head. Painted by Eddie for a fiver in his lunchtime. Not too dissimilar to another beat group who’s logo had a drop T. That Eddie also painted.

Panto Bournemouth. A good time was had by all. Oh yes there was 😂

An end of season pic from Scarborough Summer 1972. Me and Lonnie Donegan, Ayesha Brough, Freddie Parrot face Davies, The Dallas Boys and the girls. A really happy season accept for two family losses. One for me my Gran and one for my wife, her dad.

Waking to the familia view of Saundersfoot Bay.

Finally finished the customer’s pendant 22ct Welsh Dragon on a 9ct backplate made from customers un worn jewellery. #madeinwales #atthebeach also my Tee Shirt arrived today from #metalsmithsociety unfortunately I had to pay customs duty of $26. So all in all not the best value Tee I have bought but hey, I know it wasn’t the fault of the society. Just UK customs and the Post Office getting their cut.

There’s nothing like a nice tidy bench to work at. And this is Nothing like a nice tidy bench. 😊😳
