Thanks. I love the post it note tip. Here may be a tip for you - a charcoal block retains heat so it is not good as a heat sink. Use a crosslock tweezer or even some heatshield paste. But thanks for addressing the problem of soldering rings onto the end of small chains. I’ve had problems too. It’s not easy.
Thank you, Basia🤗Even if I am not related to jewelry from metal, I find lots of inspiration and tips for myself (I am mandala artist and painting the mandalas on jewelry🎨😁) I find you youtube chanel-as my favorite source of inspiration for now🙌❤️
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I love them and use your tips as I am learning 😊 I rewatched your sawing videos earlier as I was going wrong somewhere and I foolishly put the saw in the wrong way around sometimes 😂😂 will not be making that mistake again 🤦♀️
Great tips! Thanks for sharing❤ I especially love the one soldering jumpring to the chain without getting firescale all over the chain🙌 will try it out tomorrow as I've an order for couple of bracelets. Perfect timing 😅
Awesome tips! Thank you for everything you have shared with us! I’ve learned so much! I have done sanding sticks with those paint sticks from paint stores, just doing the same process as you do! But I love that triangle stick!! Definitely a great one to have on hand ♥️!
Love this! Even tho i dont have the means to prepare my jewelsmith table and tools yet. Keeping my mind prepared with learning from your videos has been a blast! 💕💗 thank you for sharing this amazing tips! 🥰😍☺️🌈🎉
They also make sticky back sandpaper if you don't want to mess with double sided tape. I found it on Amazon. I don't think it's available at your local home improvement or hobby shops (at least not in the USA).
for sanding sticks what I like to do is lay the sanding stick on the paper, score, roll to the next side while holding the paper to the stick so it start to roll up, repeat until you've rolled the entire sheet up on the stick then secure ends tightly with rubber bands. when the outer layer is used, you can easily tear off to the next layer. This is handy if you sand a lot because it means you don't have to stop what you're doing to re-make the stick.
After rolling the paper around the stick just put a little bit of super glue on the bottom of the paper. You won’t need the rubber bands. The tension of rolling up the paper will hold it in place at the top. Works like a charm. Extra bonus if you are working with gold you can rip off the part you polished the gold with to collect for refining
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing the way many people do it is to wrap masking tape around the abrasive paper at both ends to hold it on. That jeweller who talks too much has a video showing how, including scoring every time you change sides when wrapping. xx
Hi I am a beginner and I really like your channel it makes everything easy for me but I have a question I sometimes work with half hard and full hard wire and I really hate it when they get tangled so does the nylon jaw pliers trick work for half hard and full hard wire ?🥰
Do you have any videos or tips for sanding/polishing gold filled jewelry?? Specifically which sanding grit to use for sanding edges or polishing the surface without getting to the base layer.
Soldering jump rings onto chains is my nemesis. xD either the solder flow to much or i end up melting the chain. I have bought a something to paint on to stop the flow, and also a cooling paste to protect the rest of the chain, but have not tested it yet. :P Love your tips and hacks videos :D
I totally understand! It can be very tricky and takes some time to practice. But you'll get there! I'm very curious how these solutions will work for you! I've never used the cooling paste before, it sounds very interesting. Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you've enjoyed it! :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thanks for making the videos x I'm just getting started making jewelry, going to college in September, in Glasgow. I hope I can do as well as you soon!
How long does a 8/0 saw blade last you before you have to change it/it breaks? Can you give some tips specifically on keeping saw blades from breaking? I really like 8/0 so I use it on thicker metal even though guides say you're not supposed to because I like how clean it leaves the edges/lines, but I go through about 1-2 blades a day, is this normal, or do you have tips on how to make them last longer?
Technique is important, applying just enough pressure to not break the blade, but to guide it and let it cut and using wax too. When I use 8/0 (which I agree with you, it's the cleanes one! But it's the finest one too, so it can break) I do break it. It really depends though, becasue sometimes I won't break it for days and I just change it when the blades are run down, and sometime I'll breat 3 in a row. I don't have any specific tips other than what I mentioned at the beginning of my reply. Definitely the technique is most important in my case. Being gentle, allowing the saw to do it's work and not pressing or pushing to much. Stop to relax your hand from time to time, to make sure that you lower the tension :)

Tie the irregular wire onto the vice, then with the pliers in the opposite direction, once with a moderate force

You don't need sandpaper as that's for working wood. You need emery cloth. Is that available sticky backed?
Sorry, or use wet and dry paper and that is not glue-backed as it would affect the glue when you wet it.
for sanding sticks what I like to do is lay the sanding stick on the paper, score, roll to the next side while holding the paper to the stick so it start to roll up, repeat until you've rolled the entire sheet up on the stick then secure ends tightly with rubber bands. when the outer layer is used, you can easily tear off to the next layer.

great tip Samantha! I tried it before, but for some reason it didn't work for me, the paper kept unrolling. I need to try again 😃

Thank you for the tips! Just curious though, what software do you edit your videos with?
Thank you! Glad you like it ❤️ I use Adobe Premiere Pro
Try to cut the jump rings from the inside. Your fingers will appreciate 😜
Will do! Thank you for the tip 😁
