The guys will be impressed with the idea that you created it yourself and you may even take an order or two.
When you can, take a class in metal working. Men who can work with metal have a marketable skill. Some of the guys in my community college jewelry class began to cast their own designs in silver. Others went on to bigger metal forming projects.[/quote]

hey thanks a lot : )
as of yet, the only people who have commented on it have been my family.. and i cant wear it much because i go to catholic school and nobody would comment on it being under my tie and stuff so yeah.. i dont know if i want to take a metal working class but ill think about it.. classes bore me, and i want stuff to be fun : )… thats why ive learned like everything i know online.. but thanks : )

im a guy though, i dont know any guys who would think about doing this..[/quote]

Im also a guy, i took a jewelry class in high school and half the class were guys. Think of it as soft metal work rather than jewelry making. Also i know lots of guys who wear hemp rope necklaces they have made.[/quote]

oh alright : ).. my school doesnt have fun shop-like classes.. stupid catholic unfun-ness… i thought of considering it “fine metal work” but it still floats back to jewelry making.. and hemp necklaces would be different, because its more like illegal tough drug-ness and stuff, idk im rambling..

Rock that necklace!… you know you want too lol
And see if you get any comments on it…if a lotta people liek it maybe you can start making them/selling them on ebay too![/quote]

thanks : )…i might, and nobody wears stuff they make because normally companies can make better stuff cheaper.. and like sum said, ebay wouldnt work too well, so I was going to go on etsy, which is all homemade stuff…

[quote Sodapop] So are you going to wear it? lol[/quote]

I might, but idk, my family makes fun of me for stuff I make, so I’d assume other people would…

ive noticed ebay isnt a great site for selling things that have been made, people dont buy that. i think other sites are better suited.[/quote]

Maybe, i wouldnt really know :P So are you going to wear it? lol
