Toby bought this lovely old rolling mill, second hand, for £50, using the profits from his jewellery sales! He buys silver jewellery and cutlery, anything he can find, in charity shops, car boot sales, ebay, etc, and melts down the reclaimed silver, then rolls it into sheet himself using this mill, ready to make his own creations!
Another investment from the jewellery sales, this little kiln, though Toby hasnt had much time to use it yet. He has made one pair of earrings, enamel on copper, with diamonte, a commission at Christmas time.
A photograph of work in progress, lumps of melted silver, some has been through the rolling mill, rings half finished, copper stamped 'love' discs, the beginings of spoons....alsorts.......

That was an interesting tour - you are so lucky to have such great facilities! School must just get in the way!!
