    Andrew :
    Great video! Can you show me how you set the stone next? Also I have learned so much from you in the past four months! I am a retired police officer that has always wanted to learn how to silversmith. I have purchased all the rudimentary equipment including a Smith Little Torch but because I reside in Medina, Ohio USA have no one in my area who gives lessons so I depend on your videos for instruction! I have made a number of coin bezels and bails but would like to start making rings, pendants and bracelets! Please keep the videos coming! Wish you lived close by so I could take lessons directly from you! Keep the great work!

I’ve been following your teachings for a couple of yrs. now & have learned more from you than from my teacher. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great teacher.

    Love this demo, Andrew! What a great technique for a round stone. Can this same method be adapted for oval shaped stones? If so, what modifications would need to be made regarding shape and size of the stock (i.e., Square vs. round, size - your demo used 3mm square wire), length of cuts for the prongs in relation to the size of the oval stone, for example an 8x10 mm oval? Would love to see this method demonstrated for oval stones.

    Love this video! In fact, I’m heading down to my shop to give this a try on some round 6 gauge fine silver that I’ve run through my rolling mill and is now perfectly square. I do have a question, one which you really didn’t cover much in the video and that’s ~ approximately how much material are you removing with the three sided file once you’ve finished sawing? It appeared you were pretty aggressive with that file and it looked like you removed quite a bit of material but you really didn’t elaborate on it. Can you help a girl out? Btw ~ I’ve watched all of your videos and all of them have most definitely helped me become a much better metalsmith! Thank you so much for sharing ~ Teri

    Love your videos. I am learning so much and correcting the wrong previous methods learned. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Maybe you already covered but just in case: there is a way to also make a prong setting from a flat sheet to avoid also the soldering of prongs? (I still learning) can you make a video about it? I suppose the trick part in on the measurements and I think could be a way to add designs and be more creative. 😊
