One of our customers brought the nugget press to our "2nd Sunday" get-together today and our DIL Emily got to play with it all afternoon... loved it.
Guess I know what Santa's bringing her!
Speaking of pressing techniques, I saw Emme making diamond-press beads in a way I'd never thought of today... she was using only the bottom half of the press, making 1/4 turns and pressing each side of the bead as she turned it.
Craziest-looking technique I've ever seen, but it was also the fastest way I've seen to get a perfectly shaped diamond out of a press! The girl's just had way too much time on a torch lately, teaching old dogs new tricks...
Not sure if her technique will work as well with other shapes, but thought I'd pass it along.
Havagood1,
