    A video that shows exactly what to do, with all the 'whys' behind the actions, and questions below that actually were answered instead of either being ignored or given a 'mechanical' or rote answer. I learned from both sections here because you took the time to give a darn. Thank you!
    And it's because of this that I subscribed! :)

      Such a great video I have a table top drill and saw both water cooled. They were my mother's She went to school when I was young. I grew up watching her and learning. I love that hand held drill you have. I live on a cliff side. 1 day while weeding I found what looked like geode I was thrilled when I opened it up. I've been doing wire wrapping to make my pendants, I'm so glad I found your video. Thank you for sharing

    What a great teacher. This was refreshing to watch. What kind of drill bit should I use?

    • @gemcollectorswithshawnlgem4613
      @gemcollectorswithshawnlgem4613  5 лет назад +2

      The standard drill bit for drilling the small initial hole needed prior to burring for setting stones is referred to as a “twist” drill. The size depends on the stone size being set but is usually 1-1.5mm and is obtainable from any jewelry supply company and even your local hardware or home supply store may carry them.

  • @annatassell
    @annatassell 5 лет назад

    Thank you! Very beautiful and informative video. I am ordering a stone from Etsy and I asked the owner to make a hole in it. He asked me in mm how big I wanted the hole to be. I thought tha 2mm is enough so that I can put a leather cord to it to wear it as a pendant. The stone is indigo Gabbro. What do you think, Shawn? I think it will work. Thank you.

    I just did this with petrified wood. i soak the stones in water and dish soap, scrubbed them, then soaked until i drilled. The soapy water worked very well.

    • @Azraiel.Bridger
      @Azraiel.Bridger 3 года назад

      Soaps / detergents will only screw up your tools and burs you should never use soaps while grinding with diamond bits even " liquid" ones all you need is just plain room temperature water not too cold and deffinatly not to warm ...also I dont suggest " "soaking" semipermable stones prior to grinding or carving due to it causing the higher probability of cleaving or fracturing the stone in question you only need to wet the surface area mainly to protect the diamond bit/ burr so it does not lose its cutting ability and to keep the stone cool so as not to change its temper / color ect

      Hi, Jane! Thank you for your question. There are many jewelry suppliers. Some only sell to you if you have a business
      license and some will sell to the public and then have special prices for businesses. Just search the web for “jewelry findings” or “jewelry supplies” and you will see many listings. Rio Grande Jewelry Supply is one that we have used that sells to both the public and businesses.

      I’m not sure about them but there are a lot of groups on Facebook that auction off stones, sometimes in bulk. My mom has built her entire shop from doing that and getting to know miners, collectors and sellers.

    Hi Shawn. Would like advice on how to thread tap a small Obsidian mantra bead that already has string holes all the way through the bead but needs a thread tap for 3.5mm. The bead is 12.1mmx8.1mm in size. The bead will be screwed onto a toggle switch as a DIY handle. The threaded part of the switch is 4.1mm in length by 3.5mm in diameter. Can this be done? Thank you.
