I was on a website on specialized tools, I had no idea what a doming block was, luckily when I googled it your video came up. Thank you for the video, demonstrations, and education.
Thanks for posting. I learned something new that I never knew existed.
Glad it was useful :)
Same here, I just saw this being sold on harbor freight and was intrigued.
This is very helpful for me as a silversmithing worker.
Glad you found it useful :)

Just saw a set on an online auction, didn’t know what it was. Now I do, thanks for posting.
Very interesting. Never used one seen them but didn't know a thing about them till seeing this video.
Lovely demo, very interesting to learn so much about dapping, many thanks!
I don't know if this will help you but what I use for preventing rust on tools is Loctite Rust Neutralizer. Its a spray that bonds rust to metal and coats it to prevent further rusting. Works well on my metal DIY tools in my home garage. It dries clear.
You would rub off rust with steel wool, wipe with alcohol, then spray with this product and let dry. Over time, it might need a touch up spray again. Its too thin a coating to interfere with dapping surface. This is not just a rust primer, it chemically neutralizes the rust and bonds it to metal preventing any further rusting. In the US you can buy it at Lowes not Home Depot. In the UK, you might want to use a similar product if not available. Loctite is the maker. Be sure it dries clear.
Thank you for this video :) very helpful
Good video. Was thinking about adding a block kit like that to my shop for something to do. Enjoyed your voice as well. Was very relaxing for some reason.
Thank you for this demonstration, i hadn't heard of this before and plan on getting one to use for some projects that I had in mind.
I just bought a dapping block kit, like the one you have here. I am going to start making rings out of coins, and this was one of the tools that was suggested. So I look up how to use one, and came across your video first. I just want to say thank you for sharing this, and I will practice on different materials and sizes. I am happy that you showed the things that could go wrong when forcing it instead of easing into it. I’m sure I’ll be back for a quick rewatch once it comes in the mail! Also, I love your accent! 😍 thanks again for sharing!
Very informative and well produced; thank you.
Glad you liked it :)
Very nice demo
Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.
Can you use a set like this for sheet steel?
Excellent video and pleasant voice
If you heat the disk with a little hand torch, then drop it into a cup of water, the brass will soften. The technique is called “anealing”
Yes, hammering and bending the metal will cause strain hardening so occasionally you have to soften the metal by annealing it as you described
To protect from rust on iron I prefer OSPHO (a brand name of phosphoric acid) to convert iron oxide to iron phosphate. I also use wax coating especially on brand new metal cutting tools such as files.
Also work outside of stock first working toward center will help prevent edge wrinkles,
It kind of makes me nervous to see the cube kept in the holder and see all the tools jumping around during work.:-)
Thank you for sharing the information, helpful video.
Are you claiming you cut those circles of brass out with tin snips?
Thank you for the video! If there is a video somewhere of how to remove rust from the tools?

Thank you! I’ve been wondering just what all you can do with this Set, and I pictured the ability to make Hollow Solver Beads, of all sizes. Do people do that, or is there a way that is easier, that isn’t coming to mind?
Yes, people do that and you'll find my hollow form tutorial here on the @kernowcraft youtube channel or over on their website blog www.kernowcraft.com/blog/12-months-of-metal-challenge-with-make-it-kim/12-months-of-metal-hollow-jewellery-tutorials
Nothing is im. Possible with the right attitude and a convincer. 🎉🤓🥳🎉
Very helpful, thank you! I have one question: What if I’m working with pieces that I already worked on with a structuring hammer or even metal stamped on with letters or patterns? Will I ruin the pattern or lettering? Will it lose its shape? I am unsure, in other words, what to do first, the doming or the lettering. I would prefer to do the lettering first as it is obviously much easier to stamp on an even surface. What is your opinion on this?
Hi Sina, it really depends on your design such as the size and how much you are shaping the piece. If you were only doming the piece slightly, I would imagine it would be ok but I would recommend testing out on a piece of scrap metal!
Logic suggests, that if you change the shape of something flat, then you will be stretching and/or compressing the surface, so some distortion is probably going to happen. But it will depend on how much you are changing the shape, so with a shallow dome, then it might not be noticeable, but with a deep dome, such as half of a ball, is likely to be very different. So, testing these things out, on an off-cut/scrap piece of silver which is only going for the scrap bucket, or on a bit of copper or brass which is cheap, you can find out easily what you will end up with......... And you never know, you may well get results that you really didn’t expect, but still like, and if you do, then a quick reply on here about your results, would be gratefully received, by everyone.........
I don't think you're supposed to hammer into the doming block while it's in the wooden storage tray.
Keep your tools from rusting with a light coat of oil. You can get the rust off with EvapoRust if you want to not use an abrasive.
Beautiful woman with tools. I love it. ;)
I could listen to her Julie Andrews voice instructing all day. 😀
Why are you using the block when it is still in the rack? It’s no wonder that you have vibration, excessive noise and clattering... take the block out of the rack and place it on a piece of soft felt sitting on a solid surface.
I have no idea why I did that as I always take it out the holder to use. I'm presuming it was because my studio is tiny so I couldn't get everything in shot if I took it out the holder :)
A rubber pad, is better than cloth/felt etc, because it will really dampen the vibrations, and she did say in the video, that she would normally have the block on a massive book...........
Rubbing down tools and work stock with beeswax will prevent rust and make a smoother work surface, good video though
you need a more solid bench..
My bench is fine, it looked like it was bouncing like crazy because I filmed using the tools, while still in their wooden holder as I had no space to take them out and spread out, so everything was bouncing around in the holder. I usually always take the tools out the holder and put them on a sandbag or sturdy surface so goodness knows why I filmed it like this :)
@@kimthomson400. It’s quite funny, that so many people seem to have missed the fact that you did say in the video, that you don’t normally do it this way, but I suppose that that’s humans for you. 🤣
Rest your tools in vinegar for a bit and then use 0000 wool
youre pretty
