A video made in responce to a few comments about how I have my tools laid out and the design of my work bench.
It always interesting how other jewellers work around the world. This is how I do it. Its common to have a set up like this in London UK.
We all work a little differently. This set up seems to really suit working at home. I have very few tools and nothing high tech at all but am still able to make almost anything I desire.

Calling for new patrons!
With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level usually found in High Street jewellers workshops.
Become a classic patron and you will not only be able to view part 2 of full instructional guides but also be thanked personally on the next youtube upload! You will also have access to all future uploads 2 weeks before they go live on youtube.
Official patrons have all the benefits of a classic patron but also gain access to regular exclusive content. Behind the scenes, personal jewellery projects Im working on, I share ideas for future videos, photos and stories from throughout my career as a professional jeweller.
Also Official patrons are welcome to suggest ideas for future videos and contact me anytime if they need advice for their own jewellery making endeavors.
Classic patronage is just £5 a month and to become an Official patron costs only £10 a month making Diamond Mounter patronage by far the best value way to gain access to online jewellery making courses.
As the number of full instructional guides continues to grow the value will be even more considerable.

Super helpful, exactly what I needed to wrap my head around setting my bench up in a really good way. Top tips: micromotor, lamp position, hangers for pliers, saw, etc, bench block to left (for righties).
great bench plate story. that piece of metal is living its best life with you lol.
I got used to this setup/bench shape then moved to New York where things are very different. I personally prefer the London way but I make it work
Love your to the point outlook.
I wanted to ask and apologize if you said during video… I was trying to take in information overload I think I blew a gasket.
Cheers from Michelle from Canada
"well you're right but... im gonna do it anyway" lol thats pretty spot on for almost any jeweler for some thing or another like the gas flame lighters.
Right? I needed to hear that more than anything this year 😁
Nice vdo 🙏
Yes hello I’m from the future and I appreciate this video
Hello Diamond Mounter , can you please make a video on how to make a trillion collet and how to mount on a ring?
Love your videos and learn something new all the time, Thank you
Thank you, this was very helpful. Love the humour!!
Just discovered you, will check out everything. This was so informative! You told us why it works for you, which makes it easier for a beginner to think about it. Cheers and thanks!
Welcome!
Thanks very much , one thing that’s irritating me is not a light because I can fix a flash light and get that intensity of the brightness. I do not want when I am sawing my table starts to shake , I like solid and heavy and tuff . So any vibrations should be stopped . Thanks
Thanks for another video
Great vid! Got yourself another sub. Happy new year and all the best for 2023.
oh hello there Nezuko 👀
Thank you so much for this walkthrough of your bench setup! This was really helpful =)
There you are!!!! Love it! You are SOOO correct about shaft motors, Why the hell do they still sell these monsters? I finally have a micro motor, only use my flexi for hammer hand-piece, and even though I have the Porsche of those (Badeco), I still would rather have a Graver Max, all day!
Great video jewelers bench rhoubo style
you have gained a new sub from HK... i m a beginner in silversmithing
Agree with the micro motor just purchased one no comparison. Agree!!
I do want to ask what oil you are using on your bench is it 3 in 1?
Cheers for sharing you are very talented.
nice
sometimes dentists sell their old controllers on Ebay,( if they have been corrupted by a dental industry salesman) , just buy a Marathon type headpiece, (you may have to change the plug set shape, but they are all three pins, just soem round, some flat), these are upwards of 500 pound controllers, and top end, and can be had very cheaply...
Can you give me more details about your micro motor tool?
Do you have a list of tools needed to be a jeweler? If so, could I get a copy?
Ventilation for soldering or annealing
Great video Mate, thank you! What 's your accent? (what part of England Imean)
Can you make a video on split shank pear shape setting with talking please. Or can I send you a design and you make it as a request. I am new to your CZcams but man I love it. Great lessons. Thanks
Maybe a good idea for a video thanks
Excuse me what is the model and name of your polishing tool with adjustable speed ?
Did you say you used a metal clothes hanger to hang your jeweler pliers on??
I m from India, what is the hight of your bench, please mention full dimensions of your bench
What micro motor is yours?
Nice setup! Can you share the specs of your micromotor? Brand, Speed and torque? I am starting out and really leaning towards a micromotor instead of flexshaft, but not sure if it can handle all the drilling and grinding needed. Since you use it and don’t have a flex shaft I am assuming this can do it all. Thanks!
I bought a micromotor for the first time here in Japan and they are ssso much better than a flex shaft drive pendant motor. Theyre cheaper, quieter, smoother, lighter and can also spin both ways, are speed adjustable and mine even has cruise control! I will never go back to a crappy old shaft drive
@@DiamondMounter thank you ! do you know the speed and the torque for the one you use ? Just for me to note that these specs can do the job and not invest in something less.
@@engnardine I dont know but basically I could only buy the cheapest one when I arrived in Japan. I imagine its the least powerful available but it works fine. Perhaps a little more torque would be useful
Why is soldering nicer on charcoal?
How high is your bench please? When I measured the ideal height for me (chest height at the sitting position) it came up to around 107cm. This seems quite higher than market standard (ranging from 80 to 95cm in the UK) and not available unless I custom order. I’m not even that tall I’m (166cm). Any tips on that would be highly appreciated as I developed a painful pinched nerve syndrome in the neck because of slouching which has put me off making anything for months now.
Ouch sorry to hear that. Yes I recommend sitting up straight! My bench is 92cm and my chair is 32cm high but just raise your bench or lower your chair to waht ever suits you
Can I ask what type of dremmel are you using? Thanks
Seaforce Twister-X
As an add on to this question… I have a Drexel flex shaft, can I put a multi Chuck on this and how do you do it? Very new to this stuff.
Dremel
@@alisonmilligan5717 dremel 😀
Not cool but flippantly crazy for a jeweller. Health and safety ??? Good ventilation, dust masks, protectiveness???? Outrageous !! Very misleading mad Max . Get real man !
I don't live my life trapped by fear
