yup :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:, been there, plus the wheel likes to grab teh things, and even if it dont whup you, it usually terminally damages teh chain :mad:
and skoebl why is it, that jewelers dont like to size weddding bands? :dunno_white:
Heh, I dunno....I love to size plain bands. Most money for the time spent (aside from re-tipping prongs)...It's just anneal, stretch, polish :)
Yeah that chain got me pretty good. Hurt like crazy. Bled for a long while. The repair I did held up; but the chain broke in two other places :laugh:
id say so. lol what kinda link was it?, oh btw i got 2 rings in broken, one of which was broken in 3 places, with NO collateral damage, ie no twisting. im still tryin to figure out how that thing was broken :laugh:
It was a box link chain that I had replaced the two end jumprings and the lobster claw. Chain broke a few links past my solder (as in, my repair held up :thumb:) on both ends.
Yeah I've seen some strange things like that. But a lot of times a ring is all dented to hell; the customer comes in complaining that something we did caused a diamond to fall out and want a replacement (of course it was absolutely nothing that they did). We show them that the ring is basically smooshed flat and that whatever they did must have hurt :laugh: :laugh:.
The 3 broken places might be previously existing seams from old repairs. I've done a few simple sizings on rings that have had half-shanks done, along with various other repairs...So basically I heat it to do the sizing...whole ring falls apart...I leave room cursing :mad: :laugh:
