Question: Old world techniques?

[Mario Sarto]

i'm just a pitiful old fool !

I don't think so. Your words about precious old ways doing things - here i'm with you.
(but there are very, very old techniques the youngsters will do as long as there are boy and girl :beat up: oh sorry, just kidding...)

BTW monk - give me three weeks and i'll have a little surprise for you

Mario, a good motto, I guess my Latin is worst than I thought.
A parallel in English: one must know the rules of grammer before one can break those rules or twist them for one's own purposes. Or in a broader sense one must know the past to invent the future.
I'm still working on clarifying the 'new world' jewelry thing.
