I just wanted to say thank you for your videos! I’ve watched them all and just got my first order of silver to practice with. You’re so sweet and kind for sharing your knowledge and techniques with us.
Thank you so much Cel, I really appreciate it! I want to keep making these videos, so I'm glad you find them useful 😊Thank you! And good luck ❤
Now that's a really sweet bench! Nice set up. Thanks for the great tips as always!
Thank you for sharing! It just amaze me since I found you your evolution in any ways...sharing your acquisitions...sharing your knowledge and experiences...you are a source of inspiration...🥰
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching Barbara! It means a lot 😍❤
Great video. I have always loved your content and most of all your upbeat personality. Please please please make a video of the entire space! Thanks again for great content and inspiration.
Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed watching this, I'll definitely make a tour of the whole space then 😀
Such a handy workbench lucky you we don’t have them here so much room on that bench😍😍
Hiya Lady Stardust, how are you both doing? I love that bench! I'm sure it will help you to create many masterpieces for your adoring public... That's my point I guess, tools help but your brain creates, OK at least yours does... Love those new stones... You've organised so well, a place for everything & everything in place. I think I would find that soldering shelf a bit low so on the top looks good. An engraving tool? Can't wait to see a video on that or are the engraved bits on the wales etc done with this? You are very good at slipping in a sneak pre-view of something then a great reveal. Keep up this fantastic work please it helps us get through & I agree with Cel, it is sweet & kind of you... OK It was fun to see my name in print like that... So thank you for all...
Take care & stay safe...
I see you upgraded! Great. Nice!
Esta súper chingona tu mesa!!!
Hello, I Am Danilo from Colombia, I am a Goldsmith and your videos are amazing thanks for upload your videos. thanks
Glad you like them! Thank you so much Danilo ❤
One-day I'll be able to afford one 🤤
Hi lovely lady. I’m currently waiting for my Durston bench. It’s on back order as Durston are super busy with demand - also not helped by the virus but hey ho I can just wait and look forward to it.
Thank you for your video it’s very useful.
Sounds great! Can't wait for you to receive it! 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
Hi there Did you receive your Bench yet, I would like to know if we need pay douane fee? thanks
The table very very very nice ~
thank you! :)
Very nice
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Can you tell me where you got the round holder for all of your flexshaft rotary tool items?
Hi Basia! Wonderful video as always :) I am thinking about getting this bench but I have quite long legs! I am about 173 cm.. is there plenty of legroom under the lemel drawer? Thanks!
Hi Lilie! Thank you so much for watching dear ❤️ The bench itself should be good for your height, but you might need to make the cut out like I did. It was in the way of my legs (I'm 164cm), so I believe it will definitely be the case for you too. And you probably could skip that foot rest underneath, which is also kind of in the way for me. The foot rest isn't supporting the bench in any way, so adding it is optional. Other than that, I think you would be happy! 😊 Hope that helps :) If you want to see more how the cut out looks like, DM me on Insta and I'll show you the photo! xx
I loved watching this video, it's a good one, as always! x My bench is very very old, but the shape is quiet the same, yours has more drawers and I would prefer that too! I believe this bench will probably be one that you can pass on to someone else when you retire some day, it looks very high quality! Oh and look at the merch shop here! NICE!!!!!!
Thank you so so much Karolien!! I really appreciate it 😍❤ Yes, I'm hoping this bench will stay with me for a very long time :) It's definitely moving with me to a new space! But I would also love to collect some older, second hand furniture and tools, like you 😍
Thanks for the tour, well organized, I should be so lucky. I notice you are using the Dremel hand torch. That's the same one I use and I hate it. I lost two very expensive torches, so I grabbed this one. Is cheap and that's what it's worth. Please give me your honest opinion
Wow, that's so different to my experience! I really enjoy using my Dremel torch, I've had it for years now and I hasn't been broken once. It's been enough for the amount of work I did until now. But I would much rather use proper big torch, but unfortunately can't do that yet. Once I move, I will buy Smith's Torch yay! :)) Thank you for watching! :)
How did you attached the lazy Susan to the soldering board
omg your bench is so Neat and new! my bench is 45 years old and a bit of a mess
I'm still in the beginning of my journey, I hope the time will reflect on that bench and all the work I will be able to do there 😍 Used equipement shows the magic of progress and all the hard work that went into the crafting process 😀 Can't wait to have mine in a mess too! haha
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing you, have your bench in a mess? Ha! Steve...
Really enjoy your videos. What do you think the best kind of artificial lighting is best for jewelry making?
Sorry, it's a late answer but I use LED lighting. The Foredom light that goes on their flex shaft holder, I love it...
@@stephencoster9532 Thanks. I'll look into the foredom light.
Hi , this bench is a dream ! where did you find telescopic holder for Foredom ? Thank you
This one is from Cooksongold :)
Everything is lovely. Too bad nothing of that comes here 🇵🇪 especially the lovely bench ✌️ looking forward to you making art.
ugh, that's so frustrating that suppliers don't ship there! I hope you will be able to find supplies and tools locally. Thank you so much for watching and sweet comment! 😍❤
Love this! Question I truly want that bench but I noticed shipping to US is over $700! I was wondering if you know where I can find it with less shipping cost or similar ones?
I believe that Rio Grande stock Durston, at least so I'm told. I hope this helps this late?
Hey! I’m just starting out making jewellery and was wondering if I could practice with a cheaper metal than silver? What would you recommend? Xx
Brass works nicely. It’s what my teacher had his students practice on using silver solder. It goes into the pickle pot just like silver.
If you want
You can buy a mini block from grs tools or different brands
you'll be in happy tool trouble when you jump i to the GRS system, it's wonderful, best system!
don't even get me started......!! 😍😍😍 A dream!! 😀
Where can I buy that “old wood pag” of yours that is clamp onto your benches ? Can you provide a website where I can buy?
Hiya CooksonGold here in the UK, but also them in France, Germany, and I believe Italy, I hope that helps?
Are you still happy with your Durston workbench? I've looking at this bench for the last few months...
Your favorit color is green tosca isn't..? 😀
One of my favourites, yes haha ;)
I've gotta say one of my favorite things about your videos (aside from your amazing creativity, I could never come up with the ideas you do) is the simple fact that you pronounce the L in solder...
Hahahahah, what can I do 😄 What's more, I pronounce aluminum aluminium! 😂 I'm really glad you enjoy my videos! Thank you so much for watching 😍❤
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing A real English-speaking Polish Lady!!!
I didn’t see the link website from your video about where I can order a burton bench. I live in the USA but will the company send to me if I order and if you can help send me the link website to where I can buy the exact bench like yours.
It's a Durston bench, and I believe they are at, www.Durston.co.uk
What type of chair do you use. I was lucky to find a bench recently but I did not realize it would be so tall.
hahaha oh I feel you! I was the same :) The chair I used was a regular sviwel chair with wheels and adjustable height. The ones they sell for beauty salons and barbers etc work great! Now I have a regular desk chair from Ikea, also regulated height and on wheels. Stationary chair is a no no in my case. A chair that moves is best for you in this type of work and bench!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing LOL thank you! Seems like the bench is almost as tall as I am. I wasn't sure if they made adjustable chairs that tall lol.
@@journeywithcc2624 the normal set-up is for the bench peg to be in the middle of your chest, that way you're not always bending over and doing your back in long term. Steve...
Hola bonita soy nuevo en tu canal y me gusta como explicas solo Tengo una pregunta que altura debe tenet o tienes tu mesa de joyero
as they ship from UK, how much douane fee you paid ? thanks XX
I'm in the UK :)
Each country has different charges.
hiya flower that bench is one very smart piece of kit, it will last you for years, would you be so good as to send me the sizes of it please more so the hight as one of my tables has seen better days and it is time to put it to pasture, take care keep safe keep well.
sure thing! Height is 1010mm and length 1240mm, more dimensions are in the product listing on Durston's website durston.com/product/superior-workbench/ Thanks so much for watching Albert! 😍
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I thank you so so much only one fault now I will have to start making a new bench recycle a lot of the old one you keep safe keep well take care and thank you again.
My dream bench. Sadly not an option for me at this point.
I hope that one day you'll be able to get this one, or another very cool one! 😍🌺
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Ohh, I have a lovely DIY one now and its working perfectly! Though there are aspects of this bench i'd love to have on mine! 😊
First
yes you are! Hi! 😄❤
I’m trying to find female fine jewellers on youtube and it’s so hard! Which is crazy considering women wear way more jewellery than men.
True! I felt the same (and actually still feel this way). Try Kornelia Jewelry, Estona Metalsmith and Nancy Hamilton! :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thank you! 🥰💎💎💎
I’m afraid since Brexit, all the UK products are just rediculously expensive to us in the EU. Goodbye Durston and Cookson Gold. Just a real shame. ☹️
Cookson also has outlets in France, Germany, and I think Italy, as you may know, they sell a lot of Durston products, including this majestic bench, I have the three draw one. Steve...
getting sea sick to much moving around....tripod would help....motion is just toooooo much....if your going to free hand move sloooowly.
Totally agree, this is an older video of mine, I hadn't realised what the movement would actually look like. I'm definitely going to make sure it's much slower and calmer in a new workshop tour video ❤️
my brain can't handle asymetric work benches
hahaha, I get you 😄
Not sure why they charge so much for these. The top is pieced together scraps of work Not really a nice top. I could see $250-$300 tops
The camera continually floating around all over is distracting and a bit nauseating.
