The ring holder stays in place, if you need to rotate it, you have to turn the handle on the side to rotate it manually, then close it again . It will move a little while setting depending on the force you apply. Hope this helps :) Thank you

Thank you

It is $116 on Amazon, the link is in the description of the video. Thank you ⭐️

I understand, I honestly used an hex key so long ago & I was only really worried about putting it together, but as you see I made it! , LOL. I certainly KNOW WHAT THE MICROBLOCK IS FOR, I use it and it is useful. It seems that the way I used the hex key annoys viewers, but hey, it is not a lesson on How to Use an Hex Key, it is Only about me purchasing a Mini Microblock and showing the item. Thank you anyway, and who knows when I will use an hex key again, but ill use the long end for sure! 😂😂😂

@@ihivara If your face of concern is the Hex Key do not even worry, it was not a lesson on how to use the hex key, because certainly I did not know how to use it but, in the end I assembled the Micro Block for the viewers to see what it looked like , that was the point. Thanks

@@frommybenchpin5717 Don't worry. But the first thing that came to my mind was a hex key. Good luck to you 🤝

Yes, that is good preventive measure. I do have these everywhere I need them. Thank you for your comment ⭐️

So glad you have had a good experience. I was really impressed with it and I use it all the time. I have small hands and it’s a breeze when setting stones. Thank you for your comment.

Look for Mekkisupplies on ETSY, they are in New Delhi but ship worldwide. I’ve heard good things about them, but I have not purchased anything yet. I believe they have affordable prices.

Yes it will, It goes on top. Hope this helps ✅

That is my wish, I love to help people and I want to share more. Thank you for your nice words!

You are very welcome 🌟

The plastic base is only a support to hold the ball and it rotates to the position you hold it, it does not screw.

Did you find it difficult to work without having the white base secured?

@@nineamulets7689Not at all, you constantly need to move the ball around to do the setting work, so to have constant rotation makes sense in a way. If you want a more secure one, or a tool with less motion, there is the GRS vise available, also using a small standard vice is another alternative. It depends what you are looking for, or feel comfortable using. I hope this helps. Sorry for the late reply.

@@nineamulets7689 Yes i did, mostly i fabricate small jewelry and this vise is just right for that kind of work. I do use a regular vice that I bought at home depot to hold bigger things, and protect the jaws with copper sheet and leather while working. But yes, this small ball vise is just right for setting or working on small pieces of jewelry, plus you can hold it tight while working because it fits in your hand. :) Hope this helps

You are too cute, thank you Kristin ❤️

Thank you so much, and yes I will make a video and teach how to do the hoops with tubing and the wire going into the tubing. I’ll be posting much more tutorials. :)I am happy to help

Hi Kristen, you absolutely can use a sharpie or any small mandrel to shape the hook. I just do it that way. The wire has already been hardened when it was drawn. I’m glad you enjoy. Ask anything, I will always help.

@@frommybenchpin5717 Great! Thanks so much - that’s really helpful! One more question - I know I already asked you this question on your Instagram account but I just wanted to be sure.... Can you please make a quick little tutorial of the peace ☮️ jewelry I’ve seen you make? I think it’s probably very simple and self-explanatory but I’m not positive about what steps and techniques I’m imagining to fabricate some for my own designs. I’m thinking I would do the following: 1) form and solder a ring; 2) measure and cut wire for the 3 straight pieces for the inner parts; 3) file all of the pieces; 4) solder those 3 pieces that you’ve arranged in the shape of a peace sign (Do I cut 3 pieces - 1 longer and 2 shorter OR do I cut 2 pieces and just bend one piece in half to form a triangle? Which method do you use?). Then of course, I would sand everything and polish. Would this be all there is to do to make the peace sign?
