I'd love it if you put together an "ideas" video on different styles of ring bands. I can't find anything like that out there! You have the best instructional videos. Short and sweet, clear and simple. Thank you!!
Hello Wendy, Thank you for your suggestion. I'll put it on my list. In the meantime, you can check out my videos: "Stacker Rings Part 1", "Stacker Rings Part 2", "Jewelry Design Ideas Made Simple". They may give you some ideas for rings. Thank you for watching! Greg Greenwood
Hi Greg, another fantastic video! You're so good at explaining and demonstrating all the steps involved. I emailed you awhile ago and you were kind enough to respond to my questions about balled-end pins for hinges. I watched your videos about how NOT to melt other parts of your piece and was really inspired. I immediately bought some yellow ocher and it worked brilliantly!
I was able to construct two ball hinges on a round stone setting to allow it to spin! Thanks so much. Always look forward to your next video 😊
Hello Lee, Very nice to hear from you! And very nice to hear that you were able to construct the hinges!!!! Hurray. Yes, the yellow ocher does work brilliantly! Thank you so much for watching. If you have any questions, you know were to email. Take care. Greg Greenwood

Thank you for making this video
Hello Shukarr, My pleasure! Keep watching . Greg Greenwood
Thank you for sharing your awesome skills! I have found that titanium wire works great as a pin that won't solder on to the tube because I kept breaking the graphite on the tiny hinges. lol... Very interesting ways you have created gorgeous hinges! You are very creative! :)
Hello Ty, Yes, titanium wire is great too. Just make sure that it is the correct size for the tubing. This is why I use graphite, so I can ffit the tubing exactly. Thank you very much for your kind comments. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood

Great video Greg! I love the "bridge method" and will definitely be trying it out on my next hinge! Also love your walk through of other types of hinges!
Hello Stuart, Thank you very much for your kind comments. Keep watching. Let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
Brilliant explanation
Hello April, Glad you think so! Thank you for your comment. Greg Greenwood
Do you make spring hinges?
Hi Greg another very good educational video. I like the bridge method, but I've got to ask what material was it that you used for the king-size demonstration?
Regards . . . Andy
Hello Andy! Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I like both methods. It all depends on the design. As for the material. 14 k gold!! I had some laying around the studio! Talk to you soon. Greg Greenwood
Greeeeeat!
Hello Geno, Thank you very much. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
Brilliant lesson! Love the different methods you show at the end as well, very useful ❤
But I have a question: in the second method, if you file the hinge instead of the sheet metal, will the hinge still turn? Doesn't the tube you insert het stuck because it is thicker than the filed tube?
Hello Genia, No it will still turn. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood-
Great vid thanks. They are bit big for a locket though.
Hello Avian, Thanks for your comments. Yes, these hinges are large for small lockets. Beginners are more comfortable working on larger pieces to learn the basics. Then they can go super small when they have the confidence. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Greg Greenwood
No longer a knucklehead when making a knuckle hinge. Thanks!
Hello Patsy, I am very glad to hear that! I would hate for you to become "unhinged". Thank you for watching. Greg Greenwood
😀😜🌸🌺
Of what material are the pins you used on the copper spacers to hold them into place? Thank you. You are my online instructor, and I will begin classes soon.
Hello Neers, The pins are steel pins from a stationary shop or sewing shop. You can use smaller ordinary pins used in sewing also.
I'm glad I can help you and that I'm your online instructor. Best wishes. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
Can you share what kind of microphone you use. Your sound is nice!
Hello Boom, Rode wireless. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
Mushrooming 😂 what a funny word
Hello Natalia, Yes it is!! When riveting, the heads of the rivets can be domed and they look like little mushrooms. It is very interesting to see words' origins. Thank you for watching. Greg Greenwood
Hi Greg, what kind of nails/pins do you use to hold your work still? And where do you get them?
Hello Cathy, See your other comment. Thanks again. Greg Greenwood
0:01 is that big vice necessary for your shop? I have a small metal workshop but nothing of Jewelry family.
Hello Bobby, Thank you for watching my video. Yes, it is a large jawed vise. I have modified my regular vise with angle irons for the Foldforming Technique. Watch my 6 part video series on Foldforming. In video Part 1, I explain the use of the oversized jaws. If you have a metal workshop, I think you will be interested in the foldforming technique. It is an interesting way of working metal. Thanks again, and let me know what you think of the foldforming series. Greg Greenwood
Hi Greg thank you for the video going go try this. What are the jewelry pins called and where do you get them?
Hello Cathy, The pins are steel pins from a stationary store. They can be the "T" pins also. Very easy to find. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
Thanks so much
You are welcome
