Real Time: How To Make Hinges for Jewelry

In this video I show you how to make a basic three-knuckle hinge for jewelry. This is only one method of creating hinges and if you'd like to see others, I recommend the book by Charles Lewton-Brain called "Hinges and Hinge-Based Catches for Jewelers and Goldsmiths."
Supplies you'll need:
Torch
Flux
Solder
Solder Pick
Jeweler's Saw
Bur Lube
Hand Files
Chasing Hammer
Bead Reamer
Brass Sheet/Bar - 3 pieces (2.4mm thick) this can be purchased at your local hardware store if you don't have it.
Brass Tubing - 2 pieces (2.4mm outside diameter & 2.0mm outside diameter)
Hopefully this video is helpful for you. Please like, comment and share my video to help me grow my channel and see more videos like this one.
Cheers!

Thank you so much Rhonda! 🥰

So smart to take off the handle of the tube cutting tool. I always found the handle unwieldy.

[@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith]

The funny thing is I never knew I could take it off until it unscrewed itself and fell off 🤣

Where did you purchase that bench vice you used to hold the brass plate? I enjoyed watching your video because you put the human touch in- slips, adjustments etc.- all part of the trade right? :)

[@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith]

I bought the stone setter’s Benchmate kit from GRS Tools. It’s probably one of the most often used tools on my bench. I love it because it keeps my hands free and is well worth the investment if you’ll be setting stones!

Thanks for sharing your skills. Perfect instruction ❤

[@johnmimist]

I love your videos! I’m going to try! But please though we love the sound of tools, not the repetitive music. I don’t know why everybody puts their choice of music on when it may not be the viewers choice. Please, please just let us hear your voice and the tools or edit.

[@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith]

Thank you so much! I will definitely let the tools make the music!
