[Jewelry making - Article 00089] - Re: [Orchid] Why Acetylene? +torches and stuff Even with the smallest tips on the Smith, you'd have a difficult time retipping prongs on a diamond ring, or doing a clean job repairing a fine chain. The Smith air/acetylene is certainly my torch of choice for most silversmithing. But the capabilities of that torch are much less suited to the commercial jeweler who may often be repairing existing jewelry, working around stone-set jewelery, and generally needing to get into and solder tiny isolated details on an existing piece without messing up what's already there. www.ganoksin.com /orchid/archive/9706/msg00089.htm   (989 words)

William Arthur Smith Benson: An Overview This generosity has led to the creation of hundreds and hundreds of the site's most valuable documents on painting, drawing, sculpture, furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass, metalwork, and the people who created them. According to the Collector's Encyclopedia, William Arthur Smith Benson, "English architect and designer" whose furniture employed inlays of rosewood, tulip, and ebony, opened a "workshop for the production of turned metalwork on a commercial scale" in 1880 with encouragement from his friend William Morris for whose firm he had designed metalwork and furniture. Unlike others in the Arts and Crafts movement, he created designs "intended for machine mass production." Charlotte Gere points out that Benson not only designed furniture and metalwork for Morris and Co, he also "collaborated with J. Dearle on wall-paper designs" for the firm in the 1890s (Morris and Company, p.9). www.victorianweb.org /art/design/benson   (268 words)
