Super merci beaucoup pour le partage 🙏🙏🙏

I really wanted to know how this casting and Stone fitting is done.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.... today I saw this process... Thanks 🙏 May God bless you with Bounty ❤

Ernie Lister, this is the best history of Navajo silver I have ever heard. I am a Navajo metalsmith. I have silversmiths in my kin. I had heard that Navajo silverwork was partly created because the Spaniards were run out and their silver money was no longer worth more than its raw material. True?

well done brother. best regards

I have searched for years for your knowledge in books. Your video shows how it’s done by a master of the craft. It’s nice to see that true silversmithing by a real live Indian is alive and well. Keep going strong, beautiful work !!!

Is that stablised or natural?

¿ Como puede trabajar Ud con tan poca luz ?? Apenas se ve Su video..

I have a cuff stamped M. Begay that I treasure...

Jadi pengen punya batu ini

You say you know too many times just annoying 😂

I’d smash my left thumb with the hammer!

This was a wonderful video. A'HO!

And then the mass produced knockoffs came about after this video. Lol 😂

The spirit of poverty does NOT live here lol! I love Navajo stories & history. My grandmother on my fathers side is from the Island of St. Vincent, but if you were to see photographs of her, you would think she was some sort of Navajo Indian or along those lines. We are all tied together and one spiritual being! Thank you for these lessons.

This video is like a living Norman Rockwell painting. To see an elderly craftsman creating his art from old metal tools with his tired aching hands, in this dimly lit room, with failing eyesight, on a cold day and with very little heat. Most would think it sad, many would quit after one day of this, but yet he is content to provide just the "necessities" in life. We all could learn valuable life lessons from this example. Thank you sir, for sharing a little of your private life, and allowing us to spend a brief moment with you. Ahéhee'.

What is the powder he is using?

very beautiful and inspiring

I love your youtube videos on Tufa casting. I don't have oxygen torch, i only have MAAP torch. How can i carbonize the tufa mold without the oxygen torch ? Thank you

👍😎🇦🇺🐈‍⬛😩

I saw some of his work in a store that carries imported goods from tribes all over the world. Very beautiful indeed! Just imagining the amount of concentration and patience needed to craft such things gives me a headache. Definitely would love to purchase one of his art piece’s sometime.

THANK GOD FOR STASHERS! History and product!

stash means take without permission?

Do you show your works at the indian gathering in santa fe

Can you speak about the fake dyed stones, like Howlite. Also, the Mojave Green Copper manmade turquoise. People passing off dyed, and manmade turquoise as natural. They are improving the fake turquoise. How do you know what is fake and what is real? Thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing your talent. A Wonderful master!

Great interview, questions and answers.

Beautiful turquoise Precious treasures

Poor lighting and saw nothing of his work or how he creates these. Very disappointing. We came here to see him at his craft not hear so much talking. You are in his studio. Show him working and doing this craft and how these are made. He has a unique style. Its because of the pieces of art that we are here.

Hi Bill, thanks for sharing this video with us.. Where can i contact you please, to send you so photos i of rugs Cheers

Good Morning Calvin 👋🤣 I'm Subscribing to your Channel 👍👋🤣 I'm now Subscribed to your Channel YAY 👍🤣 My First Time here 👍🤣👋

Interesting. I own several of his cuffs and rings. The silver and 14k work well together.

Amazing art!

This adds greatly to my appreciation of Native American jewelry, to see how much skill and labor goes into every piece. I have a small collection and will add to it if I can get to AZ and NM sites and buy directly. Very nice work with the stamping and repousse motifs. I was alarmed when he started hammering to curve it, with that big leather mallet - takes precision not to land on the puffed out sections. People may not realize that it may look easy but the way metals behave must be understood, how to handle them when they get brittle, cracking point, malleability, prevent misshapen contours, etc. A lot of technical work. Thank you for the great tour! Please improve your lighting - this was so yellow it was hard to see. Also more on the actual piece closeups instead of zooming out that was distracting.

Just wondering where can i buy Tufa stone. Thank you

Darryl, your information and your specimens are extraordinary! Thank you! I too am a turquoise freak!

DA
