And the 3D rendering of the tools and process at the end was money! There isn't a better way to demonstrate or communicate the process with clarity like a good 3D model to demonstrate. Thanks again! ✌️
Very interesting video. It was professionally done and easy to listen to it. Good data was given. I did some of this setting twenty years ago. I am getting back into it. You’re tools would be asset to this new beginning. Thanks
This is a great tool! I learned to use these from Mark Williams from Marco Jewelers in Luzerne PA. It works great. I love the angles you have shaped yours to! Thank you for your great tips!
@@JMDjewelry OMG! I'm so excited! Having the right tool for a job just makes all the difference! I've been "makin stuff" since I was a kid. Started with building bird houses...actually still building bird houses but now with metal and really small!
Another greatly informative video! Thanks Joel! I’m being called on to return to using my setting skills (after not using them much over the last 5 years…so I’m a bit rusty). Watching your videos has been a helpful refresher course, and I’m picking up some new tips along the way. Much appreciated…..adding some setting to my goldsmith in repertoire will definitely augment my value to my employer
I appreciate all of your work. Thank you for the informative videos they motivate me to want to keep learning about setting! My mentor used to make all his tools because when he started jewelery he wasn’t able to get things nearly as often or easily as we can now he had to sharpen all of his burrs when they’d get dull things I could never imagine that’s why I enjoy all of your videos because you’re showing things I could never think of! Keep the videos coming!!!
What a cool video. I'm so grateful for people who are generous with their information. Would love to be involved in your tools giveaway. Good luck to all!
Thanks for a great video! I will share this with Worcester Center for Crafts. Makes perfect sense! I’ll be watching your videos from now on. Hope to win your tools.
Great videos and I'm sure it was me that pushed your subscribers to over 750! LOL! Thanks for answering my question on LMJ site about burnishers and of course, I would love some of your tools.
Subscribed! Glad I got to find your channel via Aspiring Metalsmiths. Would very much appreciate being entered into your tool giveaway. Haha, I love your wife assuring people that wasn't a wedding present! 😂
Thank you very much for sharing, it is a great tip! I get great personal satisfaction every time I create my own tool /workspace innovation!!! You have a new subscriber. Thank you, Cory
First time watching your channel, but won't be the last....great video, and love the tips on making my own tool! Love your studio set up as well, and thank you for the consideration in winning your tool set giveaway. :)
Thank you for the information, Joel ! I hope try making my own tools soon. In the meantime, I could certainly put your tools from the giveaway to good use ;)
I'm so glad I saw this video as I've been doing research on stone setting and metalsmithing. I've actually been looking for affordable tools to get started with, so of course it would be awesome to win the tools. Great vid and great information, thank you!
Just found you from you fb post! Have subscribed! Great videos thank you for sharing your knowledge! I will be watching them all now in a row lol would love the tools you use also! Congratulations on now over 800 followers! ❤
I’d love to be able to use some of the tools you’re giving away - some of those are hard to find here (I live in Mexico) and I have a lot to learn to be able to make more of my own tools!
It's really easy and really fun once you start playing with it. Just buy some tool steel or stainless fork 👆 (great idea) depending on the tool you want to make. I'm a hand engraver and make all of my own gravers, burins, chisels of different geometries. When I learned hand engraving I never expected how much I would love the tool making process part of it. But I'd almost be happy making tools for 8 hours a day I enjoy it so much 😂. Anyways I was gonna say get some 1/8 tool steel or I even use a lot of 3/32 square or round stock tool steel. Then some grinding disk, I have a diamond power hone so I can cut carbide tools also. But you can use any sanding disk, dremel, flex shaft, certain micro motors. Even a bench grinder works. But I would recommend to read and learn about tempering your tools. What color the steel will turn and the tempature. You don't want to over heat a tool or it will be brittle. Burnishers would be fine. But any tool you make that requires impact may be brittle and explode. Always wear eye protection. You want the tool hard but have some give. It just takes a bit of practice and experiment metal tempering and annealing etc.
I didn’t know that there is an alternative to the steel one. Thank you for explaining this. I wish I actually could make one of these but I don’t have all the equipment to do so. I definitely would be interested in winning the sweepstakes that you’re having. Please put me on your list of eligibility.
Thanks for the great video. I’ll be watching out for more of your videos. I love watching them and learning. I have a question for you regarding your polishing mops. I know you said you use the same compound on the lap as the initial polishing. Do you need separate mops for polishing steel and polishing silver or gold? thanks 😊 I have made a steel burnisher but more tools for stone setting would be a great help.
This video is great and very informative! I’m glad I saw your post on the metalsmith fb page, which led me to this video. That is a serious optical magnifier task light! Where did you get that? Thanks again!
from the shape seen in the graphic at the end its looks like a no 3 or 4 onglette graver , could you use an old grave to make on also or the stainless steel fork is better ?
!!!!!!!!So I have picked 2 of you thanks so much for the imput. Please e mail me at JMDJewelry@Gmail.com so I can send out your tools. Im also going to make a video about them and how I handle stones. Debbie Cardwell, and Linda Mack, Ill give you two untill the end of day Friday to respond.!!!!!!!
@@JMDjewelry Thank you for your reply, I was just wondering if steel has a lower hardness on the Mohs scale would a steel nail work on the same softer stones? Thanks again. George
@@George-ew3gx this was hard to dig up specifics but I did. Thanks for the question it was a good one. www.researchgate.net/figure/Comparison-of-Mohs-to-Knoop-hardness-7-with-typical-spacecraft-materials_fig1_279154409

Great idea! Thrift stores are a good source for single forks.
Joel- my wife's wedding ring came from the Jewelry Box. I worked at WCBD for years & had our first recording studio there (OnLine Audio)

Enjoy how helpful and easily understood your videos are! Could definitely use your tools as I work up the courage to move into more setting types!
Great info would love a set of tools
Total Awesomeness
I didn't even know that steel was listed in the Mohs scale. Thanks for the video, and yes, I'd love the tools if I'm selected. :)
Never thought about this. Useful. Thanks. Yes, hardened steel 7/8 but mild steel, most common steel, 4/4.5. Too soft perhaps?
Thanks for helping us learn to create better tools for our metalsmithing projects - very helpful!!
Awsome tips! Wouldn't mind some tools🙂

Hi, Joel
I like the ring holder you are using in your bench, which is sitting under microscope. Where can I find it?
Thank you.

How did I not think of this?! My students will definitely be making their own fork burnishers
(And of course we'd love to win tools)

Hey Joel. thanks for sharing your tips and tricks. Would a steel finishing nail also be the same or less than the stainless fork on the mohs scale?
The reason to use a fork tyne is that it is made of stainless steel and stainless won't scratch softer stones.
@@JMDjewelry Thank you for your reply, I was just wondering if steel has a lower hardness on the Mohs scale would a steel nail work on the same softer stones? Thanks again. George

something about the shape you made and way you used it seems off compared to Blaine's version. I couldn't put my finger on it but it seemed off.
You know, I bet I could make those little tool handles out of unfinished drawer pulls from the hardware store.
You can and I have. They tend to be just a bit small for the average persons hand.
I want to win tools!
Thanks. Now, where is grandmas stainless?
