How's It Made?

Wow....loved this bitter!! It's just amazing the time and effort that goes into a ring!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Exactly like I said, it's a natural defense for protection. Why remove it? So I am no longer protected against all the harm that could come to them?

I don't understand why the concern over the condition of my fingers?

I'm trying to tell you you are not taking care of your skin.... it is reacting to adverse conditions.

If you stab yourself with a knife, you bleed. Bleeding is a reaction to an adverse condition. If you take the same attitude, then you should keep stabbing yourself because bleeding is normal.
If you jump into a lake, you hold your breath. Doing so is a reaction to the condition. So just go jump in a lake and hold your breath.

Jewelers have calloused fingers because the JOB is hard on his hands. The only way he can fix the problem is to stop creating jewelry.

It's ridiculous that you're sitting here debating with Bitter about his hands, when he clearly doesn't give a sh*t about what they look like.

Let it go already... he's not hurting himself (aside from having formed a few callouses, and last time I checked that's not fatal...) or anyone else.

Callouses happen.

For everyone else there are boring desk jobs. :lmao:

I work with my hands as well. What do you think I do for a living?

I just take care of my skin properly and don't have calluses.

Your job is not my job.
Good for you, for having beautiful fingers. :roll:

I dont understand the concern for the rough looking fingers. The hands of an artist that Id be proud to have. Mine are like a babys bum since the hardest work they see is when I click the shutter or move the mouse.

I honestly don't care... Nor should YOU care what Bitter's hands look like at the end of a work day. :roll:

Amen! Most artists I know could give two sh*ts about their appearance. And most of them are a damned mess... covered in paint... callouses... cracked finger nails... Art is a dirty job.

They're more concerned about their art than coming across as aesthetically appealing to the people they sell their work to who, by the way, don't give a sh*t what they look like either. They only care what their WORK looks like... and that's how it should be.

Again... I don't understand this fettish over his fingers. Seriously. Who CARES?!

Again I say... ​DUMMEST. ARGUMENT. EVER. :er:

Bitter, for the record, I was jesting when I mentioned using lotion. I spent 25 years in a machine shop and know for certain that you, sir, are a worker. And you do damned good work.

Now, about that manicure... cuz those fingernails are, damn!

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Yeah, I know. Most people weren't making a federal case out of my fingers. :meh:

Note to self: Don't give a damn about other members on internet forums. Although they are fellow human beings, you can ignore their welfare because they're nameless, faceless strangers and even the smallest gesture of helping them will result in total and abject degradation and ultimately become an exercise in futility.
