Cosimo De BENEDETTO

That barrel on the left looks as if it could be antique jasper - I like it. I've never tried making beads but I've strung a few miles of antique stone, glass and metal beads in my days. Had a little business going for a while but my antique beads were outpacing the sale value - even though some of my work sold for $800.00 +/-. Quite a challenge building a web business. This before Instagram. I did by chance find a comment on a beaders forum once ;) from a woman who said my bead works was her favorite. She never did buy anything though. I quit on that high note. :confused: I stuck to my day job - woodworking. :thumbsup:

AND now back to our regularly scheduled content...
Ray, So many skills in one gentleman , I'm jealous 🙂
I've never heard about beaders forums , do you have a link ?

You're right, I should create a topic "knives & beads" , at list Charlie and I could post 😂

Hello Jean- Marc - I've been away from beading for maybe a decade now. There were quite a few "conversation" beaders group back in the day. Mostly how to types websites, but more involved too. I had lists of links but no longer. I know that Facebook has a private beaders group. Also here is one for "collectors" beads.
In this case Google is your friend. I will reply to your interesting email (and to Charlie) later today (or Wednesday). Stand by... ;)

I wonder if he makes a Mini Zulu? UK knife laws are a nightmare, less than 3 inch blade length required for a permitted edc here, and non locking.

Mini Zulu would be perfect.

That I couldn't tell ya but it was a breeze and he's easy to work with, he made my custom in less than a week.
