@ielektra yeah. Thanks for commenting too. I do like to mix it up and show all spectrums of tools, too.

@ericksbookshelf you can have a good run with blades, then other days they just want to break no matter what you do. Appreciate you watching and thanks for commenting.

@@donnaanasse5177 thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@DeidreTs no worries. I appreciate you watching. Comments always help me build the channel. The more I can build it up, the more time I'll enjoy making vids.

@@sdfwoodworks no problem at all. I appreciate you watching. Thank you. 👍🏼

@theyakninja it can all be done by hand anyway for engraving and stone setting. I didn't have my air graver until I was 18 years into jewellery making. About the same for a hammer handpiece. You're more than welcome to make suggestions. I have a list of over 30 videos to make so far. It may even be on there. 👍🏼 thanks for watching.

​@@metalofhonour Thank you! Are there ways to make bevels precisely? Let's say you've made a ring blank nice and perfectly round, and the shank is nice and perfectly square. Now, you start to file it by hand for a comfort fit, and it starts looking like crap. After polishing, most of that goes away, but it's just hiding the ugly truth; it doesn't look nice and crisp anymore. How do you size collets precisely? I measure the size of the stone on the outer edge and maybe a little less, then put prongs one-third of the thickness in. It usually ends up being too big for the stone. Can you do pavé or flush setting using only round burrs if you don't have a setting burr of precisely the correct size? I often see videos where people easily just drill a thousand holes, widen them with a round burr, make prongs with a cylindrical burr, then push the stones in really snug and boom! Pavé. I tried to do that, but it doesn't work for me.

@theyakninja for the collets size, you just need to file or sand down the top, so that the width is a fraction smaller than the stone width. Some grain setting will be on a video in a few weeks of the two tone colour ring. I do have flush (gypsy) setting on my list. And for the inner bevel, that is going to be soon, as I'll be making the shank for the six claw setting that I made recently, so I'll make sure I mention about that technique. Very simple too, but easier to show in a vid. 👍🏼

@@metalofhonour That's great, really looking forward to it

@____julia____ thanks for watching. Much appreciated and there's lots more to see. Thanks again.

@tabasdezh appreciate you watching. Hopefully when I move workshop, I'll be able to get better footage and a more in depth tutorial. 👍🏼

​@@metalofhonour thanks.

@@Gazz_R thank you. Bit of a super basic and short one. But the workshop move is taking up quite a bit of time.

@Gazz_R thank you. You too. The 17 degree collet block is my winner. Cheaper and more useful than the 28 degree.

@@metalofhonour A 17 degree one it is then, thanks for that.

@@lvtravelworlddiscovery4477 thank you. We look forward to seeing you next time.

@theyakninja thanks for watching. 17 degree is the most versatile, but 28 degre I use now and again. 28 degree collets tend to take a bit more planing.

@orenishilewis2695 thank you. I hadn't seen anyone else doing like this and I don't time-lapse or cut out mistakes. It takes some getting used to, but getting the proportions right will set anyone up for good. By the time you can make a few of these perfectly, you can pretty much juggle any project. Thanks for watching.

@@phillbearman359 thank you. Nice one. They're pricy little buggers.

@@metalofhonour yeah they are! BTW - tried making flower pots using your method of an old ball pein hammer head. Works a treat and keeps everything nice and level. Another great tip. Thanks very much

@phillbearman359 I find it surprisingly efficient. There a good home bottle jack method too. I may make one of those at some stage. Thanks again for watching.

@@hworsley thank you 👌🏻.Appreciated.

Thank you I really appreciate this. Many thanks.

Yep. It is intense. Luckily on the phone and tv screens, the white is pixel or colour is the brightest the screen gets and safe to view. This platinum is literally natural naked eye white heat that you can't even see. The same as normal welding.

All dimension are spoken in the video. The round wire is 1.2mm.

@@metalofhonour תודה רבה רבה

@@kenwalker7160 definitely. Full wire mounts to me just look weak and not refined. Thanks again.

@kenwalker7160 thank you. Much appreciated and thank you for watching.

@TheArtisanTouch ah thanks dude. Much appreciated mate.

@@metalofhonour you know I got yoi

@TheArtisanTouch cheers mate.

@@TheArtisanTouch yeah right. I think this will help lots of peeps.

@bigideavacations that's okay. I appreciate you watching. I know other tutorial videos just have people guessing. Thanks again.

Thank you. Enjoy.

@@less121 it's a good call. All my safety equipment for jewellery and welding fabrication is from this. If it stops an angle grinder cutting disc, it's good 🤣 Thanks for watching more videos.

@less121 always my preference. I have all all metals on hand. These two are just an amazing contrast. I love getting to work with these, mainly because over 90% of my business work is platinum. I love platinum, but things like this make a change.

@@less121 It's winter green oil. Amazon has loads. Generally buy the strongest concentrate possible. 👍🏼

@@justinemajewelry7908 haha. Thank you for watching yet another video. I really appreciate it.

@@phillbearman359 thanks. I hope it went well. I would use a 2/0 blade on these. Maybe a smaller 4/0 if the stone was 4mm or less. The hex nuts and bolts help so much.

@@metalofhonour Thanks. Gone ok so far. Just filed up the flower pot and made initial cuts

@phillbearman359 nice one. Just keep the saw holding hand steady, relax and take your time, and it should go well.

@@justinemajewelry7908 thank you. Pleased it helped you.

@@justinemajewelry7908 you're welcome. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

@@Number1HeadlightRestoration thanks bud

@marjohermans4266 thank you. Almost feels like I've been doing videos for ages now. I don't even think about talking on camera now. Much easier and really pleased the videos help.

@@phillbearman359 it's quite nice to work with and has a nice deep finish when polished. Brand new Record vice from machine mart is 1k plus vat. Got mine for £40 ish from Ebay. It's a winner.

@paulknapp2223 hi. For general working, I use a 2/0 blade normally Vallorbe brand mostly. No.6 or 8 is a good starter. Really depends on the width of setting to which one you pick off the bench. No.8 actually better for a first one. Any brand is good, but a high speed one is best. But when grinding the first bit, you just have to make sure you don't blue the steel. I think I made a short on that very early on. For files, generally vallorbe again. If on a budget, cut2 half round D shape hand file and cut two triangle and safety back (barette) 20cm needle files will allow you to make anything. The go to A-team 🤣

@@metalofhonour thanks for your time mate, I am on a few FB groups and will bang your RUclips channel on them for ya

@paulknapp2223 no worries and thank you. Much appreciated.

@@brucesr8744 sure is. Most other combinations are less complicated, as long as all melting points are looked at. But this combo pd pd500 and 18 yellow is by far the most complex. The setting video will probably be after the engraving video. Thanks for watching more videos.

@@TheArtisanTouch I'm like Obi Wan Kenobi.

@TheArtisanTouch it's all one big puzzle. If it don't go right, it doesn't take long to get back and try again. Never give up.

@@metalofhonour never ever

@@metalofhonour I will keep putting that puzzle together if I have to make the last pieces ima do just that bahaha 🤣

@TheArtisanTouch gotta make all them pieces fit mate.

@TheArtisanTouch I spend more times on knees than a carpet fitter.

@helenworsley6991 thank you. May be a while till I get around to that vid though. 👍🏼

@@ceceliahuynh thank you for watching. Really appreciate it.

@@flyingcheff all jewellers spend too long on their knees. 🤣 I found them today and now melted into a new bar.

@flyingcheff platinum and palladium like a non polished surface, but silver and gold does. But I don't stick to the rules really.

@flyingcheff all about the planning and working out what you want. I'll do a video at some stage on how to extract the fine gold out any carat. May be a way off yet though. Thanks for watching again. And commenting. It always helps the channel.

@Gazz_R haha. It does get a bit bonkers with certain metals together. These are the trickiest to get ya head around for sure. Almost as crazy as the mokume gane.

@Bohemianmetal cool. Even give it a go is just silver for a starter one. Thank you for watching more vids. I appreciate it.

@paulknapp2223 I know right. Busy weekend and I wanted two out at the weekend. I've started on next weeks vid.

@haleybel thanks for watching more. All my "How to make" videos will be be like this. I will have some "Watch me make" videos that will be short and no commentary. These will be when I don't have time to make full videos because I am generally so busy, I won't always have time to do full tutorials. But it's been good so far. Thanks again for watching more.

@@metalofhonour where did you do your degree please. There seems to be a shortage in yorkshire

@haleybel I'm from Kent and done mine in Rochester. The courses have changed now and really aren't good. Apprenticeship is the best way now. Whenever I have people applying for jobs in the past, as soon as I see they have a degree, It put me off, because I knew I'd have to reteach them from scratch. Too many bad habits learnt there and not focused on the right thing anymore.

@haleybel these saw blades are just standard 2/0 Vallorbe one, purchased from pretty much any supplier, but they're quite close in quality between brands. Which plate do you mean? The collet punch maybe?

@@metalofhonourThe one with the holes you used to get the cone shape? And thanks for your reply

@haleybel that's called a collet plate and punch. I like the Swiss made ones, but I hear the American ones are great too.
