EXACTLY!! I finally don't feel like the only jeweler with adhd anymore and I'm able 5o actually pay attention to him throughout this entire video too💯♥
This is real... and how any jewellery learning learns at home... if its rigid learning it stops you from thinking it out yourself and ...so I'm loving your teaching...thankyou we need this kind of instructions 😊
🤔 for an out of practice professional you haven’t lost talent. I’ve never made anything I was fully happy with but strive to keep the enjoyment of making the priority. Definitely love dialing in and doing the best of my abilities too. These videos are great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🤙🏻
Brilliant tip about bending the center of your sheet to saw straight line. Such a simple, but effective solution. Thanks so much! I’m going to try following along as soon as I get some extra time. Really enjoying your channel
I absolutely love the way you teach honestly 🥰 I have adhd and the way you are talking as you're working and the totally Informality of your method actually works extremely well for me because I tend to have to watch the more formal tutorials 2 and 3 times because they have to go so meticulously slow and explain each and every single move and then my mind ends up drifting out in space (adhd is a pain in the ass when you are trying to learn to be a jeweler) I have mastered wire wrapping and all the "no heat" techniques, as I like to call them, and I think I am beyond ready to go for it and move up to the big girls jewelers bench now! 🤣🥰and I was beginning to get frustrated with my attention span or, lack there of, and I was about to give up again for a little while and then I found your channel and I guess it was like divine timing cuz I am totally able to follow you without getting lost in my head!!😘🙏♥ OK except for writing this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to have to go rewind this time and refocus so I can make this marquis black opal ring I've been dreaming of making♥😘🥰 so yeah all of that long winded explanation was just to say thanks for not being so formal in your delivery 💯♥♥🥰😘🙏
Formally explaining things is so difficult for me. This is the only way I can communicate and Im aware its a bit scatter brained. Happy it works for you! Making jewellery might be good training to get your attention and focus improved.
Fantastic video. I like your style and don't love watching others videos through all the safety and materials and then to find out they are using a premade setting. Thanks.
I’m so glad I found your channel! You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials , your thoughts and explanations are what makes them so valuable. I , like everyone else , really like and enjoy your style . 😊
love this!!! I just knew there had to be a way to make claws by folding sheet. I learned to fraize them from square wire but I'm all out of that so I'll try your method!
Thank you! Love all of the helpful information. So nice to learn from a true professional. And who is the loser who doesn't like this video???Just go away.
I'm a new jewler, and I am struggling with a heart setting. Particularly where the lobs of the heart meet Inwards at the top of the heart. I can't seem to get it right 😕 aby advice or videos for this! I have a beautiful vvs2 D brilliant cut heart Labgrown .73c diamond that i cant get right
Ive made marquis collets single piece,but for me a silver piece i do prefer to roll out thick bezel about 2 mil file a v and bend into shape when done well you couldn't see the difference so much faster ,of course high end your way is preferred .Ive learned alot from your video's keep them comming
I love your videos but you dont show setting the stones. Do you have videos for setting? I did the eternity ring and same thing. I melted it back down.
Do you have a link to where you got the mixed cuts /shapes of stones? I am assuming they're the cheap CZ you get off of ebay? I've had a look and can only find mixed colours and not shapes unfortunately.
Hi Chris! I'm wondering, after you sawed the shape first, did you frase it out to get the stone to sit so nicely, or just the saw? Did I miss a few steps? I am watching closely....love this from sheet setting. Yes, formal; BAH HUMBUG!
Hi if you don't mind me asking what rolling mill are you working with in this video. I'm getting ready to lay down some $'s for one. Looking at Pepetools or Durston, More leaning towards Pepetools 130mm because of the cost and parts availability. any input would be appreciated. Thanks
@@DiamondMounter yeah thought about no brand but want it to last and not have to repurchase. Just so darn expensive right now for me. Thank you for your great videos! I would rather give you the money to you. Your great and for real no camera tricks. Loved the way you exposed those cinematic slo mo jewelers videos, Lol. Thanks!
Please answer me I'm below beginner. Why would someone spend a lot of time doing this over choosing to cast which is 100x easier and faster ? If I sound stupid I apologize.
Muchas gracias por compartir la bendición del Padre del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo estén en tu vida y todos los tuyos gracias buen día bendiciones 😅😅😊😊Colombia cristo te bendiga siempre y te sientas feliz recibelo en tu corazón y Espíritu siempre ❤❤
The key to the “professional” instructional videos is to do it out of order. Just film the entire piece like you usually do, then film an introduction with everything laid out nicely.
i love that you're awknowledging your progress in the form of days. It really helps me feel like its normal that i spend this much time making triangles
@@Amber-jj9pz haha. I mention it because I feel like I should of done more than I have. Seriously tho I think you will do a better job if you only work while feeling 'in to it'
I love your chaotic way of teaching 😂 makes me feel a bit better about not being as perfect as the Instagramer jewellers are!
Coooool

I absolutely love the nonchalant style your videos have. Absolutely mint for a chaotic blacksmith like me to learn jewelry from

Finally able to make a collet for a marquise stone. Thanks! Now to get smaller hands to deal with the parts needed for smaller stones.

Just what I needed thank you 🙏

hi Chris, great video, what metal are you using to make this?
Thank you! Love all of the helpful information. So nice to learn from a true professional. And who is the loser who doesn't like this video???Just go away.
Haha There's always a few thumbs down lol
What is the brand of the mill you are using? Thank you

I have some Durston rollers that have gone a bit rusty - what did you do to bring yours back to working life please. Cheers Phiongold
any type of spray oil is a good start to cleaning steel bits
I love your videos but you dont show setting the stones. Do you have videos for setting? I did the eternity ring and same thing. I melted it back down.
Nice work sir,
Do you have a link to where you got the mixed cuts /shapes of stones? I am assuming they're the cheap CZ you get off of ebay?
I've had a look and can only find mixed colours and not shapes unfortunately.
I bought some from aliexpress
How do you decide when to cut the collet out of a sheet metal plate and when to turn it up out of rolled wire? What are the considerations?
Hi Chris! I'm wondering, after you sawed the shape first, did you frase it out to get the stone to sit so nicely, or just the saw? Did I miss a few steps? I am watching closely....love this from sheet setting. Yes, formal; BAH HUMBUG!
Yes 95% getting the stone down was with the saw but i frased it a little also to get the stone down and comfortable
Really enjoy watching 😂

Mine are cheap no brand mills. They work ok but I should upgrade. Pepe or Durston are both very good

I love your video thank you alot mate
Would love to see follow ups on the setting of these.
When a high end quality pice of jewellery vid?
Yeah gorgeous gorgeous...and can't wait for the neighbours to die made me lol
Then knock their house down lol
@@DiamondMounter yeah lol I got that... it was just the "can't wait" that made me lol
Please answer me I'm below beginner.
Why would someone spend a lot of time doing this over choosing to cast which is 100x easier and faster ?
If I sound stupid I apologize.
The skill of handmaking jewellery is disappearing thats why I make these videos. Casting is a great way to have multiple pieces very easily though
Coooooll

Why do you hate the torch.?
Its ok but I prefer a larger softer flame. This torch is only tiny and very hot. Its harder to do delicate soldering and warm pieces up slowly
@@DiamondMounter i'm not a fan of my little smith either, but i don't think its ever worked properly. Need to get a new regulator. Great video ...
An teaching me bad habits
"day three and all chris has done is make two triangles that don't match" hahaha
i love that you're awknowledging your progress in the form of days. It really helps me feel like its normal that i spend this much time making triangles

Show....🇧🇷
Why don’t you make jewelry anymore

if you use an old worn down rubber wheel as a washer the cheap mandrel bits snug up much better on the paper disks
Chris, thank you for these videos, they help me and I’m sure they help thousands more. Please keep making quality videos. 🥸
