Thanks! That's great news
I love how you say just what is needed and useful.
Thanks! That's a great compliment
Polishing and Finishing is so important, I found this very helpful. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
The best! Hope you'll continue to offer us the benefit of your knowledge & experience with further video instruction. With thanks.
Thanks so much. Lots more coming......
You're so damn good, you make other makers/intructors seem retarded. You're 'holy shit' good, miss. Subbed.
You are an excellent instructor. Thank you for your work.
I've been making silver things for years. Came this afternoon for the ring tutorial. Stayed for everything else. Excellent basic polishing tutorial. Superb advice. Packed with wise information. Subscribed.
Wonderful, thanks for writing and for watching. So glad you feel you learned something new.
Lady, you're good. I never heard it described that way. Removing the scratches reveals the shine. There's value in that. Thank you
Thanks for watching and for writing!
So glad I found your channel! You explain things so well, and impart cautionary information as well about what NOT to do. Knowing how to clean your metal/tools/hands between finishing steps has been so enlightening! It helps explain why I hadn’t been able to get the polish I was hoping for in my own work. Needless to say, I will be doing things with much more care, following your admonishment. Thank you SO much! Please, please please keep making videos. I need all the help I can get.
So happy to hear that you found useful info in my video! Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
You are such a great teacher! Thanks for your kind instruction!
I learned something! Thank you Mel, How about a five second shot of the finished piece to cap off your films…..👍
Can’t express how glad i am to find your channel , thank you so much for the knowledge and your time 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! your explination of a mirror finish is the best I"ve ever heard. This will help elivate my work!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and for writing. Glad to hear you learned something new!
Thank you Melanie. Good video and good reminders.
Great information! I’m self taught and the polishing has always been an area of confusion for me. I am
Looking forward to learning more.
Great video, looking forward to the rest of series. Thank you
S0 glad I found you. Will start out tutorial properly Monday at the bench while polishing so much I do wrong. Will start with new wheels and mark them because they are def cross contaminated
Madam, I have learned so much ( and relearned even more) since my last jewelry classes. An accident has made me wonder whether I can do this incredible joy any longer. I miss it so...
Thanks for watching and writing!
I discovered you and your channel today! I've been away from the beginnings of my silversmithing for 3 years and thought I would find some tutorials/refreshers on CZcams, and I have. But you my dear, are by far the most informative person out there! You have great videography and commentary and your approach is calm, purposeful and I thank you for your work. You will be a great help to me and others. Thank you!
I agree, I watch every silversmithing video I can find and you have so much valuable information packed into your videos. Thank you for sharing it.
Melanie. I appreciate you passing your wisdom and knowledge of this beautiful craft!
Thanks for watching and for writing. Hope you learned something new!
Thank you for shering !
thank you for these videos
I hope you feel like coming back to CZcams! You are one if few doing instruction well. I am looking forward to parts 2-4 and any other wisdom you are willing to share. Thanks for all you have already shared.
I keep trying to make time for those. Hopefully soon. Thanks for writing!
Thank you for your videos and for being thorough. Could you please consider making a video about making perfect circles from heavy gauge thick round wire, thicker square and half round? I’m having a terrible time trying to get the ends to meet for soldering when the wire is thick without wrecking the silver with the pliers even with tons of annealing.
Excellent video!! Thank you!
You are a genuine skilled silversmith/jeweller, I am just a hobbyist but anyone wanting to learn more about silversmithing should watch this video, you cover so much,so well.
Thank you for sharing, you are the real deal, so impressed by your skills and expertise.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know you watched my video. I am enjoying this method of teaching and I sure hope you learned something new!
Newbie here! Finally a real breakdown on polishing steps. The safety portion is so important and you had my undivided attention throughout this entire video. I felt like I was sitting there with you! I took notes. Now I will go into my little workshop and polish some silver the correct way. You ROCK! THANK YOU.
Xoxoxo thanks for writing and for watching!!!
Very informative! Thank you
Thank you Melanie!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Excellent tutorial, very well explained. Thanks for sharing your techniques and knowledge. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week.
Excellent video. Many, many great tips and techniques. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
So glad you liked it. And for taking the time to write a comment. This video is one in a series so find the others! I'll be recording more throughout the winter.
I've been watching CZcams for almost 1 year now, daily on "how-to" videos. Your video by far is the best, with such great detail and explanations. Please keep the videos coming!!! By looking at all your reviews, I am not the only one who feels this way. Great Instructions. THANK YOU
Ellen, thanks for watching and taking the time to write to me. I'm happy that you feel you can learn something new from my instructions. More to come soon. Melanie
I'm new in this field. Been kinda lost and hesitant to begin my first project which is a ring band. But thanks to you and your teaching style I feel confident enough to start my project. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
That's great! So glad you feel like you learned something new and you have the confidence to go for it. Now, remember that we all start doing bad work and then it develops into good when the muses find you with tools in your hands😄
I love how you explain everything, the do's and don'ts. You are probably right about why most people don't make jewelry with a high shine, but after watching this video I now have a better understanding on how to do it. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Amazing tutorial. I am a beginner and can’t wait to start. Thank you
This tutorial was brilliant. Extremely informative and easy to follow. This is just what I am looking for to help me get started. Thank you.

Subscribed! Thanks
Thank you for your videos!
Could you please leave us links to the products you use? I’d rather get them from you and I hope you’d get a commission from purchases I make.
You look beautiful at work from korea
What was your first jewelry tool purchase? Started in 04. When you start you just save and keep buying tools as your skills increase.
Laughing......jewelers saw 1967. Still have it!
Thanks for such a wonderful set of videos. Self taught here and you’re blowing me away with how easy it’s going vs how hard I made it for myself.
BTW do you have those little papers for download/print somewhere? Measuring the metal that way pre cut makes so much sense.
I just found your channel after 7 years……Yeah!!! Thank you. Do you offer more on line class?
Hi Gail, Thanks for watching and for writing. Glad you feel like you learned something. Haven't had a chance to make any new videos lately but don't give up on me😃
