I have little space in my apartment so one storage solution I use is a spice rack/nail polish organizer that hangs on the wall. It’s great for small bottles of patina and other odds and ends that would get lost in a drawer. Also for the people who have a candle obsession, the jars are a great repurposed solution for all kinds of things
I love the pencil box idea and also the document protector. I am redesigning my studio so I'm excited to get started. I was looking all over online for small drawers and the pencil box would be perfect.
I’m beginning to think these hacks are my favorite videos by you! I still love all of your videos, but I find myself searching for more of these! Love them!
I'm very happy you think so! I like them too, I love researching tips and hacks and making these videos :) I will soon have more organisation hacks, as I will be setting up a new work space afetr moving. And I will share another tips & tricks video this Friday too! :)
Wow you have a beautiful collection of Cabs. Sensational!!! Thank you for sharing. I was thinking about you when I found clamp on storage trays it’s called a Vattenkar.i will warn you it’s very trying to build but it’s really a great addition to a bench. I actually did mine under the desk and one on top. I also used some cast iron coat hook sideways for my hammers. It works great. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom.
Oh my these are so clever! Your gemstone collection, wow... wow.... LOVE that magnetic strip!! Thanks so much for this handy video!! Love the sticky cards.. and the cookie divider thing! Love them all, thanks again and happy new year!
Fishing lure wallets, look like a soft canvas 3-ring binder, zips up and the pages (like document holder) are heavy duty and good strong zip-lock. Don't worry about keeping it flat.Aso has handle. Inexpensive
I saw your video a month ago about the pastel, pencil holder box and ordered a double 5 drawer box. Its here now and its going to be perfect when I figure out how to organize it. I had hoped the inside dividers would come out but man they are really glued in there! Thank you for making these videos.
I know, the inside deviders are glued unfortunately. It's not issue to me personally, but I can totally see why it would be best to be able to move them :) I need to get the green lining for mine, I would prefer it that way. Will do an update in the vlog once it arrives :)
Hiya Lady Stardust, how was Christmas for you two? I love all seven ideas, I use some of them but personalised. The document holder, I put a A4 sheet of black card in each one. It stiffens up the file, that's good, it shows off what is in that pocket without showing what is behind, ie less distractions. I've a magnetic holder on order. To hold all my little bits I've a small parts draw set. It's 6 across by 10 high little draws, clear plastic with a handle. Room for a masking tape label, everything together but still apart. It's a blue metal box holding it all. Cup hooks screwed into the front legs allow for holding steel rules, saw frame etc. For making jump rings I read about using knitting needles. So got a whole set from amazon in mm. I haven't cut them down but only use a small part. I wrap the cut off coil in masking tape, slip the blade of my saw through & cut from the inside out against the bench peg. I started making chains & still love making them. My light I got when I was doing x stitch, it's made by the 'Daylight bulb co' & is great for colour matching plus having sunlight on me when I work, great for SAD plus being nice & bright. Have a wonderful new years Basia, all the best to you & yours...Stay safe...Steve x...
Hi Steve! Christmas was lovely, the whole break, I needed this! I'm slowly getting back to work, and replying to comments and messages. Also trying to figure out the new rules after Brexit, and who they all mean for my small business, a headache! Truly! But it will be ok. I love your organisation hacks too! 😍 And the way you make jump rings, really awesome. We both wish you all the best Steve, stay safe xxx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I'm glad you had such a great Christmas, even though you were stuck here. I know you will figure out the post Brexit headaches, you're a very cleaver lady! The hacks were fun to steal off others, OK I changed them a bit to suit my situation, but yes, I've used a lot of what I've seen others do. The jump rings I've used ideas from others in books I read when I was starting to learn, put them together & la voila! I still want your set up!!! It can be hard to go back to work after a break, starting easy is I've found the best way. Holidays are a very stressful time for couples, suddenly all that time together with no escaping off to work?!? You come across as a very strong pair so that's good. I've been listening to loads of Beatles tracks the last few days, I got one going around in my head, the Germans call it an ear worm, so had to find it & play it. "Here, there & everywhere" A great song. let it be is playing at the moment... Another essay from me, You both stay strong & safe please...Steve xxx...
Fav is mag strip, I use it for 60+ burs. I have 32 pairs of pliers (how does THAT happen? lol), wouldn't fit on bar. Maybe time to get another magnetic strip. Love the drawers, good for cabs and work in process, you are right! A hack from me: the long hard plastic soda can holders for the fridge the long ones, perfect for all bagged supplies.
First of All your work is beautiful... Love it all. And all the thoughtfulness behind the collections. Secondly... I'm only 1 year into wire wrapping and having great success. And I acted on 3 of your Tips Immediately... Found the clear organizer at Michaels and ordered the 6 drawer pencil case and Non tarnish strips on Amazon ❤️❤️❤️. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Warm Hugs to you from Miami
wow, that's so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️ And I'm very happy that you liked these tips, I;m sure you will be happy with these new items! All the best Tim xx ❤️
Fantastic tips, thanks so much! I make upcycled costume jewellery and all my storage is repurposed or secondhand - I use the food trays from quorn sausages to sort all the jewellery that comes in for recycling, as well as storing the loose beads. It’s perfect because they stack as well! I would love the pencil drawers when funds allow so I’ll come back and use your affiliate link. Off to check out your other content now 💕
I believe I got it from a jeweller's online shop, the Curious Gem in the UK? Or Cooksongold? Sorry, I don't remember, but they're widely available online :)
hola! no entendí nada... por que no hablo ingles, pero aun así el contenido es tan profesional que no hizo falta, que orden tan impresionante me sirvió muchísimo ver este video y espero poner en practica tus enseñanzas cuando comience a crear mis manillas.
I actually have the same Ikea sideboard as you and also use it for my jewelry supply storage. I love your pencil boxes for cabochons and may have to upgrade to those since they pull out for easy viewing and access. I also love that you reused packaging for cookies, which is a great idea for anyone on a budget.
Hiya again. I forgot before... The knee clicking is natural, it's gas in the joint that moves when you flex the joint & makes a bang/clicking noise. No pain, does not cause athritus or any other problem...Stay safe...Steve...
Heey iv tried to dm you, i need some help. Im in uk and need some tips on melting silver casting. My propane isnt near got enough and not aloud oxy torch in my house! Any help
Hiya, try a larger plumbers torch if you feel that's ok. B&Q do one called 'GoGas' No ox just propane. Check out Kim on Kernocraft. 12 months of metal. Stay safe...Steve...
@@stephencoster9532 I’ve got a big propane torch doesn’t quite cut it. Think the flame isn’t direct enough. I’ve heard map gas torches work, have you had any experience with this. Thanks
@@nathanielcreasey1505 I've never tried mapp as they stopped doing it here in the UK, It was 'GoSystem' plumbers torch. Sorry I can't help. Stay safe...Steve...
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Hiya Lady Stardust, do you store your 'Clean' silver, no solder, seperate from your 'Dirty' silver with solder? If you do:- When cutting your base plate around your cabashone bezel, cut close, but not too close with shears. The off cuts will be 'clean'. Then saw to the desired spacing ready for filling, this may/will have some solder on & so be 'Dirty'. The 'Dirty' can go for reclomation, but the clean you can melt down yourself too use as plate or wire. Or send it off also but for a higher return. Strange what thoughts go through my head as I'm falling asleep? Why shears? A lot faster as you are not working that near a line. You may not save a lot of clean but any that you do is money in your purse not theirs! Stay safe Basia...Steve xx...
Did you get my message that I found the borax cone and the bowl on Rio Grande for the best prices, I shop on Amazon a lot but the borax cones were very expensive on Amazon.

Do you have a wonderful and blessed day.. .Did I ask where did you get the drawers that holds all of your beautiful stones where do you get your strips that help your jewelry and silver from tarnishing so easily.
