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. 😊😳
When we were young. Wentwood Forest Wales sometime in the 1970’s.
Flashback to 1971, Margate Summer Season. Ondrea and her mum sitting and her dad & me standing. Fond memories of a wonderful time.
What have you done Jakey? You are looking very guilty...
It’s that time of year I guess. Found this little feller in the garden this morning. After last night’s gale force winds.
This was me as a young feller full of the joys of life, playing with the King Of Skiffle the legendary Lonnie Donegan. This was taken during a live performance on German TV in 1971. I hope Lon has linked up with all the other great music friends on the other side.
Another of the brilliant musicians I had the good fortune to play with, was bass player/multi instrumentalist Melt Kingston. Before joining me in the Donegan band Melt had already had a very successful career playing with amongst others- The New Vaudeville Band and Adge Cutler and the Worzels. I’m so sad that Melt passed away just two weeks ago from heart problems. A real gentle soul who was always smiling. He will be missed by many, many people all over the world. 💚
Thinking about my late friend Peter Bocking today. Out of some of best guitar players in the world that I have been privileged to play with, Peter was the best. A lovely man who was totally dedicated to his instrument. Pete was from Manchester and in his first successful group two singers asked if the could join him. After some deliberation Pete hired them. They stayed with him until they decided to leave and form their own band. They were Graham Nash and Alan Clark who of course went on to form The Holies. I toured a few continents with Peter and roomed with him at times while in the Lonnie Donegan band in the late 60’s to mid 70’s including an outstanding season at the Riviera in Vegas. God bless you old mate. ❤️
