I picked up a few inexpensive Chinese hammers from Harbor Freight a few weeks ago, just to see how they work out. These have wood handles and smallish heads, in the 1-2 pound range. When you look on the top of the head in the eye where you'd expect to see a wedge, there is a smooth white plastic looking filling. Today I was using the smallest one for the first time and the head flew right off. I realized what that white stuff is. It's hot glue, like from a hobbyist hot glue gun!
I like the hammers so far but it looks like I'm going to have to rework all the head fastening. Takes some of the joy out of a new 2# crosspeen for $2.59 ..

Chuckle..been there, done that. Unlike the fiberglass that is in the top of an Irwin, etc..that simply cosmetic.
I always make a point of digging that stuff out of Chinese hammers/hatchets etc and pounding in a wedge. Once you do that. they are useful.

We deny children their childhood and innocence- and then we denigrate being a Man, as opposed to a 'person'.

I had to replace my HF 2# cross-peen hammer yesterday. The head started flying off. Once the glue fell out, I put a wedge in the top of the handle, and did the "soak in water upside-down" trick. The handle is just too small at the top inside the hammer casting. I ended up getting a made in USA 2# cross-peen for $6.50 at a REAL hardware store. No glue, and a nice & tight hickory natural finish handle.
Hope this helps
i have had a HF 24oz Claw hammer for 5yrs, still as new but it only gets occaisional use, which is just about what they are suited for. a lot of HF hand tools are like that, if you intend to make a living with them, good luck. --Loren
As of late, I've been filling my axe handles with 5 minute epoxy. It's been an experiment so far, but I did a 5# axe and an 8# axe and the handles haven't budged at all since. I got the idea when looking at some axes in a store and noticed that most were filled with epoxy. I figure if the handle breaks, I'll just drill & chisel the junk out.

I got a nice Chinese cross-pein hammer from Pacific Industrial. Handle attached to head with a steel wedge. The first time I used it in earnest, the wood handle shattered in my hand. After digging them out with an ex-acto, the splinters and the rest of the hammer went in the trash.

It has been a while since I posted, but I thought I would pass on several comments regarding Harbor Freight hammers, and hammer handles in general.
First, the quality of the Chinese hammers varies to a great extent, but most are actually pretty good, so far as the steel goes. I bought a large lot of 2 pound smithing hammers a number of years ago to pass out to my apprentices, one to each man at the start of his time in my shop. The first task he has to do is remove the handle, clean out the "potting," reshape the hammer handle to fit his hand properly, and then properly set the handle. It takes most of them a full day to do this right.
Since I now make or remake most of my hammers, especially Repousse' hammers, I always put a lot of time and care into shaping the handles to fit my hand correctly. I recently learned the importance of doing this carefully and correctly. I had a piece of ironwork that needed to be cold "adjusted," and it was a simple matter of inserting a feather wedge and driving it home repeatedly, and testing the fit each time I removed it. It was a task that took half a day to do the four parts that needed precise fitting. For such general bashing of cold 1/4" thick by 2" wide iron I don't use my good smithing hammers, but one of the Chinese hammers that I reset the head on, but never bothered to shape the handle. That was a huge mistake. By the time I was done I had a distinct pain in my right hand at the base of my middle finger. Over the next few weeks the pain got much worse. I finally gave in and went to the doctor. I was quickly referred to a specialist in hand problems. I had created a problem called "Trigger Finger," and after six months of treatment I can either just live with it and be careful, or have an operation where they cut one of the "pulleys" in the hand. What struck me right between the eyes was what the doctor said to me. He asked me if I had been using a hammer with a straight handle a lot lately! When I explained what I had done, he explained the reason to form the handle carefully. A straight handle will apply the impact shock to the exact same location on your hand each time you strike, where a formed handle distributes the force, and also shifts the point of impact on the hand each blow, preventing the damage I had caused.
Well, I can tell you that my general "bang around shop hammer" now has a very nicely formed handle, like all the rest of my 50 or 60 hammers. It was pure stupidity, and laziness for me not to have worked the handle on that one hammer too. It has caused a problem that I will live with until I lay down my hammers permanently. I have been hammering iron since 1958, and not until this year did I manage to cause permanent damage to my hand. Now-days most of my heavy forming and shaping is done with my power hammer, or I use my fly-press, but one time of carelessness and ignorance cost me the remainder of my life to have a painful problem I need to care for and be careful of. Shape your hammers carefully, and that means they need have a very narrow neck to take out the shock, a smoothly contoured swelling in the center to allow you to grasp it firmly, and another narrow section toward the back end for the contours of your hand to fit into.
My personal mentor, Nahum Hersom, an 85 year old Repousse' artist, taught me how to form my handles years ago so that you can hammer all day without having your hand get tired. As he showed me, you should be able to come up behind any smith at work and basically lift the hammer right out of his hand at any time during the stroke, except at the moment of impact. The hand needs to be relaxed, with the shape of the handle keeping the hammer in place in your hand, preventing it from flying out. Shaping your hammer handles correctly is arguably the most important thing you will do in tooling up of your smithy.
Heed the above words, or not. It is only your entire future of hammering that may be at risk if you don't shape your handles carefully. As I said, I have hammered since 1958 without a problem, and four hours of hammering with a poorly shaped hammer handle and I now have a permanent lifetime injury. Don't do that to your hand. Being lazy or careless just isn't an excuse. I regret my stupidity, and will continue to do so for the 15-20 years of my remaining life. I have learned how to work around the problem, but it was sure a lot nicer when I didn't have to.
Great report . Can you show a picture of the shape. I swing a Estwing brick hammer alot everyday pounding concrete nails and chipping gunite. With the Estwing claw hammer I can't set concrete nails for the life of me , I'll pull off a job if I forgot the brick hammer at home. I just looked at it and its straight except it has a wider end. I have about 10 hammers and would like to know more about what your saying. I had to retire my old one , I call it the shaw shank redemption hammer. I wonder if they would send me a new one if I shipped it to them. I have one china hammer somewhere , it feels bad , sounds horrible ( the handle is tight ) , and a plain piece of junk IMO. Maybe the dog will find it a choke on it.
Don't believe those MD's , I was cured of tennis elbow by a guy I ran into in a post office. His card says Theraputic Massage, Reflexology, Polarity, & Reiki . I was to the point of seriously changing jobs cause I couldn't swing a hammer and many other things for months. I'm pretty skeptical and when this guy grabbed my arm with arms that seemed as big as my thighs I was worring about other things. Within 15 seconds the pain was gone. I have noticed that I should stay away from the air powered chipping hammer , which did it in the first place. Check it out before you let them cut on you !

I don't know if it was tennis elbow - never played tennis in my life - but several years ago I developed an annoying ache just outside of my right "funny bone". Finally my doctor got me an appointment with a physical therapist at a rehab centre. On my first visit the very pleasant "eye candy" 90 pound therapist looked me over and said "You've been on crutches for a while in the last couple years, haven't you." Then she went on to explain that the use of crutches strengthens muscles along the spine, giving a hunched back, and if not remedied by exercise, affects nerves from the arms. Five minutes of straightening exercise twice a day for a week and the problem was gone after more than a year of discomfort. It's amazing how little it takes sometimes. Gerry :-)} London, Canada
Great info there Ron!
You just explained why my hand was sore after I spent about an hour and a half chiseling off a "bulge" along one edge of our home's 120 foot long blacktop driveway.
We'd had the old driveway completely torn out and replaced last spring.. I complimented the paving company on the nice job they did and paid them off. A couple of weeks later I noticed the line of one edge didn't follow the same smooth curve as the other edge, but bulged out about 5 inches wider than it should have been in over about a 20 feet portion of its length..
Once I saw that I couldn't stop noticing it and got pissed off every time I looked at it.
I figured it would be easier and quicker to DIY it than to try and get the paving contractor to come back and do it. I attacked it with a 4 inch wide mason's chisel and my old 5 pound short handled sledge. The job went easy enough as the weather was hot and the blacktop was still "green", but took lots of heavy hammer strokes to complete. When I got through my striking hand was hurting and remained somewhat tender for about a month.
I don't think I did any permanent damage thank G-d, but that hand sledge of mine has a straight stiff handle. This weekend I'm gonna attack it with a spokeshave and belt sander and shape it like you described. I hope I know when to stop when thinning nown the neck part, or I'm gonna get a graphic description of something "flying off the handle."

Do you have any pictures that show the correct shape of a handle? I'm a really visual guy & I'm having trouble figuring out where the bulges should be.
Thanks much, and good luck with the hand!

I received a lot of e-mails, and there are some postings here also, about the shape of the hammer handles I use. If you will look at the following image,http://www.reil1.net/hammers.jpg , it shows a variety of my hammers, all with the same basic handle design. I form every one by feel, and no two are identical, which is probably a good thing, because switching hammers changes any potential pressure points. The hammer that is second from the left is the offending hammer that did all the damage to my hand, and that is now properly shaped. It is a Chinese hammer, and is one of the hammers I give to my apprentices. I do not have all of my hammer handles shaped this way, only those that I tend to use for long periods of time, or to use with a lot of force. The Repousse' hammers on the right can easily be in my hand for 8-9 hours in a day. The Peddinghaus hammer in the center has a new looking handle in it, even though I have had it for three years, because I simply have not used that hammer like I thought I would. I bought two of them of different weights, and have not found them to be hammers that I will normally choose for a task. The Ferrier's hammer on the far left is my favorite hammer, and the one I use more than any other for general forge work. The hammer to the right of the Peddinghaus is a converted ball peen. It has a 45 degree angled peen on the ball end (hard to see), and the other end I formed into a square shape. I use that hammer a lot too, as well as several others. BIG ball peen hammers are wonderful to forge into hammers of this type, and are far more useful for everyday forging when reshaped like this than their original shape, although you do want a full assortment of normal ball peens in your rack too. Most ball peens in my opinion have too small a radius for the ball on the end. I like to reform them to have a flatter curve in many cases. When you are dishing the backs of leaves, a flatter curve does a much nicer job if the curvature isn't extreme. And of course, dish them hot on the end grain of some kind of hardwood log. I make wood anvil tools that are simply sections of Madrona tree with a hole drilled in the bottom, and a 1" square rod driven in to allow it to fit the hardy hole on my anvil. I have four anvils in my shop and two of them are on removable casters so that I can roll them over under my exhaust hood for work such as hot dishing of leaves, otherwise the shop would be full of smoke.
If you are interested in my shop layout or tools, go to my Shop at a Glance page, http://www.reil1.net/glance.shtml . I have lots of images there of all parts of my shop and my tooling. It is there, as well as my Shop Construction Page, which is linked from the Glance page, to give beginning smiths ideas that may be of value to them for tooling, general shop layout, and specialty features to consider when building a shop.
Cool. Just a bit of rounding makes all the difference, putting the bulge in the middle of your hand?
Do you have one of the bulbous-ended, thin-handled Repousse' hammers? I've seen them in repousse' books. They look like a cross between a ball peen and a bodyman's hammer, with a large, thin face. I read that the handle was thin and flexible to allow the recoil to be absorbed, saving the silver/goldsmith's hand/wrist.
I always wondered why they had that precise shape when most usage had overlapping taps. The last time I used one like that was in 8th grade shop. <blush>

Razer Onza Tournament Edition Review
Up Close
Published: 4th October 2011 | Source: Razer | Price: £49.99 |
Up Close
The Onza comes in Razers usual high standard of packaging. The pad itself is easily visible through the thick plastic cover and that insane green just screams to anyone passing by that this is a Razer product. Round the back we have the usual highlighting of the various features. As that's what we'll be doing, keep on scrolling.
Inside the box we find the regular Razer bits and pieces. A couple of stickers and some very exacting cutting around the warranty and manual. As this is a pad that replicates the 360 perfectly in hardware-identifier terms, there is no need for any drivers.
As for the pad itself it's familiar and yet subtly different. Everything is roughly where you'd expect but rather than being a bit of a pudding of a thing like the Microsoft original, Razer have sharpened the edges to provide a much more modern looking controller without compromising comfort.
Tucked away on the underside is the inbuilt remapping function for the extra buttons which are situated just above the LB and RB buttons. This is simplicity itself as you just hold down the button beneath to indicate which of the two you wish to remap, then press the button you'd like mapped to it. So for example if you hold down Remap Right, then press X, now your RMFB button is now a duplicate of X.
And here are those two extra buttons which we'll look at in greater detail on the next page. The D-Pad is segmented too. The whole of the Onza TE is coated in that soft rubber we often see on the top of Mice. This is so grippy as to be hugely impressive. For these pictures we literally just took the Onza out the box and placed it under the lights, yet already its sticky surface has picked up a few bits of dust. It doesn't spoil the look at all but it should ensure that even the sweatiest gamer wont lose the pad.

Looks tacky to me and they could have at least tried to make it not look almost exactly the same as a 360 pad. Personally I thing the Dualshock 3 pads are the best plus you can get them for around £25.
I don't have and never have had a PS3, I have had three Xbox 360's in the past though.
The 360 pad is a good pad but I like the PS3 pads better, it's what I use on my PC for driving and third person games. This Razor pad just looks tacky to me and they could of at least made it look different. But thats just my opinion Quote
If you expect to buy it and suddenly get better in games you play, don't. Ultimately it's you playing not the controller.
I sold it on Ebay after 2 weeks and was happy got my money back.

Razor could not make it wireless, Microsoft license does not allow for it.
[/size][size="3"]It's double the price of the official Xbox controller which is a bit too much for my liking
Ummm, the Razer is cheaper actually o.o At my local Bestbuy, a wireless Microsoft Controller is $60 and the Razer Onza is $50. To top it off, it is wired which is much better then the wireless Microsoft e much better response time, and even if that seems like a problem to you, it has a 15-20inch long braided cable!
Exactly, you could buy a Dualshock 3 and a bluetooth dongle for £30 and you can recharge the Dualshock through a mini USB lead, if you don't have one already they are only like £2 so that comes to £32 in total for a wireless pad vs £50 for a wired 360 pad with a makeover.
15 - 20 inches. That's not even a metre dude. Do you mean metres?
Sieb, will we ever see eye to eye on anything XD First it is AMD, and now the Onza??? To answer your so called "problem" with it not being wireless <__< For one, a wired connection is so much better then a wireless and plus, it has a 15-20feet long braided cable, just tuck it under your carpet so people don't trip and pretend it is wireless XD Besides, I do love the PS3 controllers but, this thing is an unbridled BEAST!!!

Depends what you are looking for in a controller I suppose but you have to admit for the price a PS3 pad is a very good controller plus it's wireless and cheaper. If you were after a wired controller then the the Razer is a good choice but it's still more expensive than a normal 360 controller.Quote

Charles was born Dec. 13, 1930, in Shamrock, the first child of Troy and Frankie Pollard Welty. His grandparents, Drury and Eula Lee Pollard, were early-day settlers in Wheeler County. In 1906 in Center community, they purchased farmland, which is still owned by family members.
Cowboy movies were always a passion for Charles, and as a child, a star named Buck Jones was his favorite. He wanted to be called "Buck" so badly that he refused to answer to any other name; therefore, his lifelong nickname, "Buck," came about. Buck attended school in Center community near the family farm northeast of Shamrock, and later he attended Shamrock schools. He dropped out of school at the age of 17 to make money. Buck married Jo Bearden on Dec. 25, 1949, in First Baptist Church in Shamrock.
He attended five years of apprentice school in Plumber's Local Union No. 196 in Amarillo, earning his state license in 1954. He received his master plumber's license in 1959. He earned his GED as an adult in the early '90s. In 2007, he received an award for being a member of Local No. 196 for 55 years. He retired from Plains Plumbing Co. in 1992 after working there for more than 20 years. Buck and Jo lived in Amarillo for 41 years before moving to Greenbelt Lake in 1991. They enjoyed camping, water skiing, snow skiing, sailing and traveling with their family. In 1955, Buck was a charter member of Eastridge Baptist Church and chairman of the building committee when the first building was constructed. Buck was very active in Texas Baptist Men's Retired Volunteer Builders starting in 1993. He worked at many Baptist camps across Texas helping to build worship centers, dormitories and other facilities. He volunteered almost two years at My Father's House in Lubbock, building a facility for disadvantaged women and children. In 2004, he and Jo spent a month in Gateshead, England, doing volunteer work at Easington Baptist Church. He served as a deacon in First Baptist Church in Clarendon and was instrumental in remodeling the Fellowship Hall.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Michael Paul Welty Sr.
Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Jo; a son, Dan Welty and wife Terri, a grandson, Austin and a granddaughter, Melissa, all of Coppell; a daughter, Joburta Helms and husband Eddy of Tulia, a granddaughter, Lindy Huddleston and husband Chris, a great-grandson Hal of Lubbock, a granddaughter, Carrie Tippen and husband Jay of Philippi, W.Va., and a granddaughter, Andra Vaughn and husband Joel of Canyon; a daughter, Melody Jones and husband Dane and a grandson, Evan of Lewisville; a sister-in-law, Billie Welty of Amarillo; three nephews, Michael Welty Jr. of Washburn, Jeff Welty of Dallas and Robert Hampton of Englewood, Fla.; a niece, Debra Dow of Cheney, Wash.; and a great-nephew, Michael Welty III of Lubbock.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be to Tool Fund, Texas Baptist Men Retired Builders, 333 N. Washington St., Dallas, TX 75246.
The family will be at 4800 Greenbelt Way, Lot 51 at Greenbelt Lake, where visitation will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. today.

For instance, casting the greatest show of our time came during the height of O.C. mania, and co-creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage told Rapaport that they were looking for "the next Mischa Barton and Adam Brody." Originally the network pitched Ashley Olsen and Rumer Willis for Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen, but Rapaport was firm on Blake Lively. Blake Lively was literally the only person I could think of for Serena," said Rapaport, breathlessly (we imagine). The network's first note was that Lively looked "a sunny California girl" so they double-backed and straightened her hair, and she got the part.

How To Look After Your Jewellery
Sourced from all over the world, and created using the finest gemstones and precious metals, your Astley Clarke jewellery requires a little care and attention to keep it looking its best.
Dust, pollution and daily wear all conspire to cloud the brilliance of a gemstone and dull the surface of precious metals. As with all fine things in life, you should take care to protect your jewellery and always store it in a fabric lined jewellery box, taking care not to drop, bash or scratch.
Care Tips
ALWAYS remove your jewellery when applying scent, lotions and potions, or even better, always put your jewellery on last when getting dressed. Please note that chlorine is especially damaging to jewellery.
Ensure that you rinse off any chemicals that come into contact with your jewellery straight away to avoid build up which can make cleaning difficult.
Avoid storing your Astley Clarke jewellery next to costume jewellery or watches with leather straps.
Store jewellery separately so that pieces do not tangle, rub or scratch against each other.
Containing no oxides, pure gold is the only precious metal that will not tarnish. Having said this, it is a relatively soft metal and care should always be taken with your gold jewellery. Generally, the higher the carat weight, the softer the metal; for example, 14 carat gold tends to be more resistant to scratching than 18 carat gold. We recommend that you wear rings of a similar carat together, e.g. your wedding and engagement ring.
Gold should be cleaned regularly in order to maintain its beauty and patina. A soft, lint free cloth or even better a gold polishing cloth is an effective way to keep gold jewellery looking its best.
White Gold - White gold is achieved by combining pure gold with alloys such as silver and palladium. As the natural colour of white gold is a greyish colour, almost all white gold jewellery is plated with a metal called Rhodium which is used to brighten its colour. Rhodium is very white and very hard but it may wear eventually.
Yellow Gold - Pure gold is a metallic yellow; alloys such as copper and silver are used as the principal metals used for gold alloy.
Rose Gold - Rose gold is the result of varying the proportions of copper and silver in the alloy, resulting in a beautiful pinkish hue. We use a bespoke alloy for our rose gold to create a universally flattering hue.
Shop Gold Jewellery
Derived from the Spanish term platina del Pinto which literally translates as 'little silver of the Pinto river', platinum is naturally silvery white in appearance, and does not require rhodium plating like white gold. A very dense, malleable and precious metal, platinum is resistant to corrosion and incredibly hardwearing. This makes platinum is suitable to be worn every day; however, care should still be taken to prevent scratches.
Platinum jewellery can be cleaned with a mild soapy water solution and a soft bristle brush. Over time platinum jewellery develops a natural patina which can be easily polished.
Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver and other metals, usually copper. Pure silver is too soft for everyday wear; therefore, copper is generally used to give it strength while at the same time preserving the ductility of the metal and its beauty.
As with most precious metals, sterling silver tarnishes; having said this, it is less likely to happen as quickly if regularly worn.
Clean your silver jewellery in warm soapy water, ensuring that it is rinsed thoroughly and dried before storing. Alternatively polish your silver jewellery with a soft cloth.
Shop Sterling Silver Jewellery
Gold Vermeil
Quite simply, gold vermeil is a layer of gold over sterling silver. To be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 10 carat and at least 1.5 microns thick.
Never wear your gold vermeil jewellery in the shower or when swimming. Chlorine, especially at high temperatures, can permanently damage or discolour your gold vermeil jewellery.
Gently clean your gold vermeil jewellery with a soft polishing cloth or even a silver polishing cloth. Gold vermeil will fade with time.
As an organic material, pearls are much softer than most other gemstones and can be easily scratched. A little help is at hand with our following list of do's and don'ts:
Do wear your pearls. As an organic material they react well to the natural oils in your skin and it is the best way to maintain their lustre.
Do wipe your pearls with a soft cloth after wearing, and occasionally wipe clean with mild soapy water. Allow the pearls to dry before putting them away.
Do have your pearl necklace re-strung every few years; to prevent abrasion, most jewellers knot pearls on silk thread which wears in time.
Do Not
Do not store your pearls with other jewellery as they can easily be scratched when metal or gemstones rub against them.
Do not store pearls in plastic bags, always store in the box or silk pouch that they should be supplied with.
Do not clean your pearls in an ultrasonic cleaner; the vibrations can shatter them, especially if the nacre is thin or cracked.
Do not use chemical cleaners; especially those containing ammonia and bleach, as this will destroy their lustre.
Do not expose to excessive heat; because they contain organic material and water, pearls can also crack if exposed to excessive dryness.
Shop Pearl Jewellery
A mineral composed of pure carbon, diamonds are the hardest naturally occurring substance known; however, they can still suffer chips and fractures from sharp blows.
It is possible to scratch a diamond with a diamond, so please take care when wearing and storing your diamond jewellery.
Clean your diamonds with warm soapy liquid and a soft toothbrush, rinsing the stone and setting afterwards to ensure no soapy residue.
The Kimberley Process
At Astley Clarke we are committed to sourcing our diamonds in the most ethical and environmentally responsible manner, adhering to the Kimberley Process.
Designed to ensure that diamonds are conflict-free, the Kimberley Process is a system put in place to regulate the trade in rough diamonds and aims to prevent the flow of conflict diamonds; ensuring that the journey from mine to supplier to designer is conflict free.
The 4 Cs of Diamonds
It is a combination of the below 4 factors – the 4Cs - which determines the value of a diamond. It is not possible to value a stone based on any of these factors in isolation.
Carat - A diamond carat for is a measure of the weight of the stone. The weight of one carat is precisely 200 milligrams, or 0.2 grams. Smaller Diamonds, generally those under 1 carat, are also referred to in points, whereby 100 points make up 1 carat. Therefore a half carat stone can also be described as 0.50 points. The price of a diamond does not increase on a linear scale with increases in the carat weight of a diamond. There are various weights above which there is a steep increase in value.
Clarity - The clarity of a diamond is dependent upon the included particles, cracks etc. within the stone. Most diamonds contain minute imperfections that occur when they are formed by nature. When the presence of these imperfections does not materially interfere with the passage of light through the stone, they do not affect its beauty and therefore have little effect on its value. For this reason, it is not only the size and quantity of any marks within a stone but also the positioning of any imperfections within the stone that is important.
Colour - Colour in this context does not refer to a Diamond of definite colour (these are treated separately and known as fancy coloured Diamonds), but refers to Diamonds which are white but with a faint tinge of yellow or brown. The hint of colour is often so slight that only trained eyes are able to detect it.
Cut - The cut of a Diamond, often called the make, depends upon the proper proportions of the cut stone and the accurate alignment of the facet edges. In order to reflect all of the light entering the stone from the front, a well cut Diamond should have proportions as near as possible to a pre-set ideal.
Shop Diamond Jewellery
A gemstone is a mineral highly prized for its beauty, durability, and rarity. A few noncrystalline organic materials are also classified as gemstones such as pearl, coral and amber.
Gemstone hardness is based on a standard called the Mohs scale, where the higher the Mohs scale number, the harder the stone. It is important to consider this when cleaning, wearing and storing your gemstone jewellery.
The build-up of hand cream, finger prints and general dirt is common amongst your most loved jewellery, and can easily be cleaned. As a rule of thumb, gemstones at 7 and above on the Mohs scale can be cleaned with warm water, a touch of mild soap and a soft brush. For gemstones less than 7, swap the soft brush for a soft cloth.
All gemstones also susceptible to damage by chemicals, water and even sunlight but prolonged exposure to the latter may cause certain gemstones to become paler. Examples include amethyst, ametrine, aquamarine, aventurine, beryl, citrine, kunzite, rose quartz and smoky quartz.
Some gemstones such as opal, pearl and turquoise are fairly porous and should not be immersed in water for too long.
Particular care should be taken when cleaning your emerald jewellery. A widespread practice is to treat emeralds with some form of fine oil in order to disguise the very frequent appearance of flaws. For this reason, emeralds should never be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaning device; as such treatment will usually empty any flaws which reach the surface of the stone of any oil content, with a disastrous effect on appearance.
Mohs Scale
Devised by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, this scale is a means of grading the relative hardness of minerals.
Using ten common minerals, Mohs put them in order of their 'scratchability'; placing talc at 1 and diamond at 10. Quite simply, each mineral will scratch the ones below it, and be scratched by those above it.

Per the Chicago Bears:
LAKE FOREST, IL – The Chicago Bears agreed to terms on a two-year extension with TE Desmond Clark today. The deal extends Clark 's contract through the 2010 season.
Clark has recorded 181 receptions for 2,115 yards and 15 touchdowns since joining the Bears in 2003. The veteran of nine NFL seasons with the Broncos (1999-2001), Dolphins (2002) and Bears has 262 career catches for 3,067 yards and 24 touchdowns. Over the last two seasons his 13.2 yards per catch (89 receptions for 1,171 yards) is highest among NFL tight ends.
JC's Take: After being somewhat of a disappointment his first few years in Chicago, Clark has been arguably the most reliable target in the passing game the last two seasons.
While Greg Olsen looks to be the real deal and is the tight end of the future, Clark is a solid contributor who's done nothing to deserve a demotion. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner employed a decent amount of two-tight formations this past season, but he'd be wise to expand that package since the receiver position is looking a little thin right now. Newly re-signed quarterback Rex Grossman has a good rapport with Clark, especially down the seam over linebackers and in front of safeties.
GM Jerry Angelo has a lot of money under the salary cap to spend this offseason, and it looks like he's more concerned about bringing back his own players as opposed to looking for new ones.

This car is solidly built, handles extremely well, and is a pleasure to drive. The design is one of understated elegance. Mine has very low mileage for its age and all original paint with no mechanical problems. These are a bargain if you get one without issues as new they cost $89,000 w/o options. The r129 type from the pre-Chrysler era is desirable. The mileage is what one ought to expect from a two ton car driven with a big V-8; if you are having this much fun is has to cost a little money! Skip the non-factory wheels as they really do nothing for day-to-day performance.
Performance and design; safety.
Really can't think of anything lacking although newer models probably have some extra bells and whistles. The retractable top on the newer ones is a plus for convenience but I like the traditional hard top (which you will hardly ever use.
This is my second SL 500 and, like the
first one, it has performed
flawlessly. There is nothing like the
solid feel of a Benz, and the
convertible is the epitome of the MB
Perfectly fitting soft top, and
Panorama hard top
None now...the 2003 model has
incorporated the two things I felt were
needed. One is the retractable hard
top and the other is the video nav

Awesome boots
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
My daughter uses this while horseback riding and running around a yard in general. She says they keep her warm and dry and she loves them.
Love em!
I had a pair of rain boot Sorels before this that are about 4 years old ( left ones in the picture). They are size 11. I am 6'2" and normally a 11. I got these in a size 12 and comparing them with my pair from the past, they are the exact same size boot. So I am glad I sized up. These easily slipped on and off, I have thinner legs and they were just the right amount of room around the calves - not too loose. They sit about 3 inches below my knee which is perfect. I look forward to using them much like my previous pair - snow, sleet, rain, sunny, on hikes, through town. I find them more comfortable than my last pair. They are a felt like material inside, which I think will be nice. I do have plenty of room for ski socks. I prefer them to be a little roomy.
Smokin' Winter Boot!
- Size Bought: 7
Wow, style and function beautifully married, that's how I would describe this boot! The look of this boot is so versatile they can be worn from ski slopes to dinner. About the fit: I am 5'-3" 135 lbs. I have slightly muscular calves and these fit perfect. Ample room to wear skinny jeans or leggings with but not so baggy that they look sloppy. The footbed is padded and comfy. The inside of the boot is lined with what feels like felt, very soft. The toe box is wide so there is no pinching. These boots come about an inch below my knee which is perfect, not to tall which I sometimes have a problem with. I wear a 6.5 in street shoes and a 7 in outdoor footwear. Ordered a 7 and they fit great. These are so stylish I wear them to work (in an office) and do not feel out of place at all. Love them, love them, love them!
Keeps the feet warm and dry
Color: 'Shale'
I wanted to keep them...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 7.5
These boots look great, and I almost kept them. However, my main purpose was going to be for camping (even though they look great to where for anything). They just took a minute too long/too much effort to put on, and I knew they'd be annoying rolling out of my hammock in the middle of the night and trying to put them on. If I had ordered them for another reason, then I would have kept them. I am typically a 7. 7.5 fit great, and I actually would have been fine with an 8 as well. I would say order up at least a half size. A full size if you want to put a wool sock on. I found the length was just fine for me. They went almost knee height.
I purchased, and returned these boots
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 9
From the picture, I was expecting these boots to be knee length or close to it. I was expecting a mix of a winter/snow boot with a riding boot. They were alot shorter than expected, only went about halfway up my calf. And they run small. I bought a half size bigger than my normal size, and they were still kind of tight.
Very pretty but they run small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 7.5
I purchased these and ordered a size 7.5, just as I do in all of my Ariat boots. I was surprised that my toe touched the end of the boot, I will be sending them back to get an 8 or 8.5. Still think they are great looking boots and I am excited to get a size that will fit.
Great boot, but order half a size up!
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: 7.5
I have wanted to these boots for quite a while, but held off purchasing them. These are sharp looking, practical boots but I would advise to order a half a size up, especially if you are at the top end of your normal size. I have always worn a size 7 in about every shoe or boot I own, so I ordered these in size 7. That was a mistake because the boots were too short, so I have reordered the 7.5. I have another pair of Sorel boots (Joan of Artic) and I should have looked to see what size those were before I ordered the first time. Those too I ordered in a 7.5. Thank goodness it is easy to return and exchange items with Backcountry!
great boots, crazy sizing!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Size 7
These are great boots- comfortable, durable, and warm (this coming from northern New Hampshire!) but the Sorel sizing is tough to get right. I have a size 7 in the Sorel Slimboot, so I ordered the same here and they were way too small-- had to go up to an 8 to wear with wool socks. So, I'd say order at least a half-size up, and hang in there if you have to try a second size! It's worth it.
Stylish and functional
Everything the reviewers are saying is true. This truly is the perfect winter boot. It keeps you dry and very warm in the rain and snow. It looks amazing with just about anything all while being comfortable at the same time.
Sorel Slimpack Riding Boot ROCKS!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 8
I got the Shale (color looks exactly like the picture) in size 8. THe first thing I noticed is how fashionable these were and the second thing I noticed is how they LOOK like a smaller size than they are but they do in fact FIT like the actual size - kind of a bonus for me :)
I've worn them in rain, snow and ice, and I didn't slip or get wet or cold at all - the soral slimpack riding boots are truly fashion & function all in one.
I've all worn them on a few occasions where I've been on my feet for more than 6 hours and although my feet were sore, I'm pretty sure these boots had nothing to do with it. They are comfortable in my opinion.
These boots rise up, just below my knee cap - I'd like to think I have proportionate legs so yeah, they're knee height!
I love them, I think the cost is appropriate, and I highly recommend them!
They run small.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
Definitely order a half size up--which I would do if they made/sold a 10.5. Ugh. I hate having to pay to return items. Should have ordered from Nordstrom...
Size up!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
I read a bunch of reviews on these boots and listened! These boots definitely run a little small. I'm a size 7 and ordered (both) 7 and 7.5 and the 7.5 worked for me (especially if you want to wear thicker socks) The strap in the back gives these boots a nice touch and do cinch in a bit if you needed to tighten them. They are very comfortable and look very cute with leggings and jeans.
I have yet to wear these out and about since we're not in the Winter season just yet but I will post another review once I use them more!
Favorite Winter Boot
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 7.5
These boots are my wife's favorite to wear in the Winter. She prefers these for wearing around town when it is snowing or even when it is just wet. She has struggled finding a leather boot that she can actually wear when there is weather that not only looks good, but functions with puddles and icy ground. The Sorel Slimpack is a stylish Winter boot with a sole that grips. She has had these boots in the Shale color for two years and loves how they have worn. At first they are a bit tight when slipping your foot in, but they do break-in and become easy to pull on and off. These boots also keep her warm with the tall riding boot height and she always gets compliments on them.
Love the boots. Love Backcountry.com
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought: 12
I must've read 100 reviews before deciding on these boots, and I'm glad I went with these. We currently live in England, so there is a lot of moisture and ice on the ground in the winter. But I also wanted something that wasn't so warm that I couldn't wear them in the spring either. These boots are just that. I normally am a solid sz 11, but based on other reviews, I went with the sz 12. My foot slides in/out easily with room for thicker socks in the winter but not too much room that I can't wear thinner socks in the less cold months. Once I had my foot actually in the boots, the next thing I noticed was the comfort. I wasn't aware that
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I ordered the grey boots and they are AMAZING!!! The other reviews recommended ordering a half size up, they were a little roomy, I likely would have been fine in my normal size. But if you plan on wearing thick socks go for a half size up. These boots do great in the snow, not quite as good as a traditional snow boot but kept me dry for a couple hours. The leather is soft and supple. I've got really athletic calves and these fit great, even over skinny jeans.
Fashionable and Functionable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
This boot has simplified my life. I'm able to wear this boot to work and during work! It looks great with a variety of outfits and stands up to the cold and snow. I highly recommend this boot to anyone who needs an outdoor/indoor boot. Somedays it gets bit warm and I bring a change of shoes. I wear an 8.5 and ordered a 7, I think a 7.5 would have been a better fit, but all my sorrels i've needed to purchase a few sizes smaller.
You need these for winter
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have two pairs of these and they are fantastic. All of the colors this brand offers is great and they are so easy to throw on.
Perfect Winter Boot!
I love these boots! i love the look so you can wear these out and about. Very stylish and comfortable. Even better with the adjustable strap so you can loosen if needed!
Super cute, but didn't fit right.
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
These boots are very good looking. I usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8. I ordered both sizes so I could find the right fit, but sadly they both are going back. The 7.5's once I was able to get them on fit fine in the foot with an everyday gym sock. The problem I had was when I tried to walk- the area on the tops of the foot where the leather meets the rubber would bend down and stab the top of my foot. I could take maybe 2 steps comfortably. Then I tried the 8 and they were huge. I could not believe that it was only a 0.5 size bigger, I had to check to see that they had not sent me a 9 by accident, but it was an 8. The 8 was big. Both inside and just looking down at them they made my feet look huge. My feet were moving inside the boot when I was walking, and I did feel a little pressure where the rubber and leather met again. I don't know if over time when they break in it would go away, but for $200 I couldn't justify wearing painful boots.
They did seem like they would be warm and dry though.
I am trying to pick which color I want to order. I love the Nori, but have read that they are green. They do not look green in the pic but a lighter shade of brown. Are they green at all? Can you help? :) I do not want them if they are green and will pick out of the other two colors. And are the rubber bottoms black on all three?
Hi Emily,
Like the name implies, the Nori have some green to their brown. The photo we have is direct from Sorel, but it's not really accurate. Here is another photo, that will give a better idea of the true, Nori color.
Also, the soles are black, on all the different color choices.
More questions? Just call or email me, directly.
I Need some help. I am worried about how "waterproof" these actually are?? I live in Philly and work outside. I also do a fair bit of hiking. Our winters have become increasingly brutal; LOTS of snow and cold but mostly, super wet, slushy snow. I need to be in these boots for 6 hours at a time and need dry feet. I have the Joan of Arcs - totally warm and waterproof but they are WAAAY to heavy to wear walking around for that many hours. Last year I bought the Slimboot - NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL in under a half hour of slush my socks were soaked through. I'm a pretty rough and tumble girl and I generally prefer a high boot to protect my calves as well. This year I'm debating between this and the winter fancy bc it looks light weight. Any help or feedback, even from BC staff would be awesome! Thanks!!
Will you be getting more of these in stock? Thanks!
Unfortunately we do not have any more of these ordered to come in, sorry about that!
Will you get in more of these in grey size 7.5?
Sorry, we do not have any more on order!
Any chance you will be getting the shale in a 9 or 9.5 again this season?
There's one of each on the way. Not sure exactly when they'll be here but my guess is early January. They'll go fast!
When will Size 9 in the Shale color be available again???
There are two in stock right now! Get em while they're hot!
Will you be receiving the Shale Riding boots in a size 7 anytime soon?
Hey tam105262677,
We do have an order of size 7.0 in Shale color coming in. I expect them to be on the site ready for purchase by the end of November or beginning of December.
Will they still be on sale?
These were in my wishlist and naturally when there is a sale, my size is out of stock (not surprised, they have rave reviews)! Will you guys be getting another shipment of these fine boots (preferably a size 9.0) any time soon??
Hey musp578524,
We do have vendor order coming in with new inventory with size 9.0! I would estimate late Nov or early Dec you should see them on the site. My best suggestion is to bookmark this page and visit it frequently.
Awesome! I'll keep an eye out. Hopefully you guys will have another sale as well
Could I fit my Birkenstock insoles into these? Are the insoles removable? I need a good quality boot but I have high arches and need to use insoles.
Hey Sara,
These have a removable molded EVA footbed with arch support. It is pretty thin and the arch support isn't amazing, so if you need insoles I'd definitely use your own. The stock footbed is pretty thin - like what comes in a tennis shoe, etc. Assuming your Birk footbeds aren't wide or super thick, they should work just fine!
Hi, can I wear for winter? And -????
Hi, can I wear for winter? And -????
Hi Zul,
The Slimpack Riding boot is a great winter boot. It has both a microfleece interior and synthetic insulation in it, and the full-grain leather exterior will hold up to the harsh conditions of winter with ease.
Hope that answers your question!
I actually would like to buy these and...
I actually would like to buy these and wear them out at the Equestrian Center during the winter weather. Does anyone know if they clean up well after trucking through mud?
Hey Jennifer, these boots will clean up good after mud. I work at a shoe store and I would recommend that you find some heavy duty water proofer to coat them with before you go. The water proofer will not only water proof them but if it is heavy duty will also act as a stain retardant and protect the leather from any other stains. If there is a Tradehome Shoes in a mall near you I would go in there and get their heavy duty water proofer, its the best I have found. Hope this helps you out!

Does anyone know the circumference of the opening?
The shaft circumference is the same as the height, 15 inches.
