Grand Opening

After opening two weeks before (to get used to the cash register and my shop layout), I had a Grand Opening. OK, maybe not so grand, but a lot of friends showed up and made it a great day! Besides Art and Mary Jane, my brother and sister-in-law (Gordon and Beverly) let me practice on them. Well, on their jewelry.

Art took a few photos of me in the shop. You can see the wide screen that shows how well the camera can capture detail. And there's my bench with all - almost all - my tools. It's a great place to be. I've worked enough places that were drab and mind-numbing...if you are going to spend most of your day at work, it might as well be a beautiful place.
