Introducing another of our new Tour members..........
Monica Gennaro. Monica is a goldsmith working in gold and silver.
She shares with us this story of a few days ago.
Today it was wire pulling and twisting day. I had to reduce the wire from 2.00 mm to 1.5 and 1.00 mm thickness. I do it with a draw plate and draw thongs.
This morning I did not pay attention for a second, and by grabbing the end of wire to short, it rock and I fell back on the floor.
Considering that it was thick wire, I had to pull with lots of strength, wire had broken and with full force smacked myself to the floor. It did hurt a lot.
