BEST VIDEO for the REAL jeweler! Thank you!
I use empty packages of tic-tac`s to the little things 🤩
I have little space in my apartment so one storage solution I use is a spice rack/nail polish organizer that hangs on the wall. It’s great for small bottles of patina and other odds and ends that would get lost in a drawer. Also for the people who have a candle obsession, the jars are a great repurposed solution for all kinds of things
I’m beginning to think these hacks are my favorite videos by you! I still love all of your videos, but I find myself searching for more of these! Love them!
I'm very happy you think so! I like them too, I love researching tips and hacks and making these videos :) I will soon have more organisation hacks, as I will be setting up a new work space afetr moving. And I will share another tips & tricks video this Friday too! :)
Thank you and I’ll definitely look forward to seeing more videos!!
Love the cookie holder. Especially for those on with low budgets.
Love the pencil drawer .
Thank you! 🥰
Pencil box and magnetic strip are my favorite.
Love the wooden drawers! Not only very practical but beautiful too!
my thoughts exactly I'm going to look for them now
Where can I get those wooden drawers? I love that idea to store my beads.
Thank you for this!! I didnt even think to use a duotang/binder with page protectors for wire, such a clever idea!! ❤❤
I love everything, but really need the pencil desk, magnetic board, & the sticky tape. Such great ideas! Thank you for sharing!👏💜
I love the way you kept your thinks thanks तो sharing the video
I loved all of this! I need to reorganize my space so this is perfect timing
The drawers and magnetic strip my fav
Thank you for your video. Very informative. Love the pencil drawer for gems.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 💖
The coolest tips! Thank you! ✨
Glad you like them! Thank you so much :))
Your videos are always so helpful thank you !
I'm so happy you think so, thank you ❤️🙏
Love the pencil drawer!!!!
I love your videos so much! You’re such a big inspiration ❤️
😍 Love this! Thank you for the tips. Can you make a video showing how to make the silver flower components please
Wow you have a beautiful collection of Cabs. Sensational!!!
Thank you for sharing.
I was thinking about you when I found clamp on storage trays it’s called a Vattenkar.i will warn you it’s very trying to build but it’s really a great addition to a bench. I actually did mine under the desk and one on top.
I also used some cast iron coat hook sideways for my hammers. It works great. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom.
Thank you for sharing those tips 🤩 that wooden storage chest is amazing, so versatile. Good idea with double- sided tape 👍
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm super happy you think so :)) Sending lots of love!
The pencil drawers and sticky cards are genius! I’m getting ready to revamp my home office/studio and this will be very useful 😄 thank you!
You are so welcome! These two are great, I love them too :)) Thank you so much! Have fun revamping your office/studio! :))
Where can I find the pencil drawers and sticky cards?
Just found this!!! What great ideas, thank you.
The cookie container!!
Fishing lure wallets, look like a soft canvas 3-ring binder, zips up and the pages (like document holder) are heavy duty and good strong zip-lock. Don't worry about keeping it flat.Aso has handle. Inexpensive
All are very good ideas thank you!
My tip: use pill box for small gems and components.
My favourite is the the pencil drawer, I need to get one now. :)
awesome tip! Thanks so much :))
Thank you for all these great ideas! They are seriously all fantastic!
I really enjoyed all of these hacks, but my favorite ms are the colored pencil storage solution and the magnetic strip!❤🥰
Mine too :)) Thank you so much!
I love the pencil drawer/ gemstone organizer. The little drawers are perfect
wonderful! Thank you so much, Sherelle, I appreciate it a lot
Awesome video thank u so much 😊😊
I really like stone drawers really nice...love from pakistan...all other organization ideas are awesome...happy new year dear...
Well, this is a *goldmine* of great ideas-so helpful. Thank you!
wow, thank you so much! Super happy you think so ❤️
Great tips! Thank you❤️
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching :)
Excellent ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Where do you buy your cabochons from? They look so pretty organized!
Cookies package is a good idea. Thanks for sharing
Love your ideas. They are very practical. Tina
Thank you for all of the great organisation tips! Happy New Year!
I actually have the same Ikea sideboard as you and also use it for my jewelry supply storage. I love your pencil boxes for cabochons and may have to upgrade to those since they pull out for easy viewing and access. I also love that you reused packaging for cookies, which is a great idea for anyone on a budget.
oh. my, gosh. That's a lot of work! Your poor hands... 😆 I hope it went smoothly!
I saw your video a month ago about the pastel, pencil holder box and ordered a double 5 drawer box. Its here now and its going to be perfect when I figure out how to organize it. I had hoped the inside dividers would come out but man they are really glued in there! Thank you for making these videos.
I know, the inside deviders are glued unfortunately. It's not issue to me personally, but I can totally see why it would be best to be able to move them :) I need to get the green lining for mine, I would prefer it that way. Will do an update in the vlog once it arrives :)
Hiya, I got individual removable sets on Amazon, I much prefer these. Stave...
Where did you get the 5 drawer double box?
Amazon
This was a great video. I recently stated making jewelry and right now all my supplies are in a bag!!
Thank you very much for sharing! You’re so kind and awesome Basia! 💖🤗
thank you so much!! I appreciate it a lot 😊🙏
Thank you!
These are great tips!!!
Thank you 🥰 I'm very happy you enjoyed it
Got here for ideas to organize my craft area. So glad I discovered you! Great ideas, & hacks! Thank you so much for sharing!
oh wow, that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video, I'll have more like this coming soon :) Thank you for watching
Thank you. A lot of helpful ideas. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year! Love your videos.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for watching :)) Happy new year!
Fantastic tips, thanks so much! I make upcycled costume jewellery and all my storage is repurposed or secondhand - I use the food trays from quorn sausages to sort all the jewellery that comes in for recycling, as well as storing the loose beads. It’s perfect because they stack as well! I would love the pencil drawers when funds allow so I’ll come back and use your affiliate link. Off to check out your other content now 💕
another nice 1. happy new year.
Awesome, dziękuję bardzo!! :))
happy new year flower take care keep well keep safe
Happy new year Albert! :)) Thank you so much. Best wishes for you too!
I have that same green lamp on my jewelers bench and Ive seen it amongst other great jewelry as well.
I love that lamp! Though it wasn't bright enough, so I have another one one :) But love the green one, so stylish :))
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I have the same lamp but mine is actually black but I do you have an extra lamp that I use as well
Fav is mag strip, I use it for 60+ burs. I have 32 pairs of pliers (how does THAT happen? lol), wouldn't fit on bar. Maybe time to get another magnetic strip. Love the drawers, good for cabs and work in process, you are right! A hack from me: the long hard plastic soda can holders for the fridge the long ones, perfect for all bagged supplies.
stretch a wire across 2 hooks in a space just under your bench. great for storing pliers on
Thanks so much for sharing everything you do as I was struggling both with organising everything and finding stone supplier.🕺
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Oh my these are so clever! Your gemstone collection, wow... wow.... LOVE that magnetic strip!! Thanks so much for this handy video!! Love the sticky cards.. and the cookie divider thing! Love them all, thanks again and happy new year!
First of All your work is beautiful... Love it all. And all the thoughtfulness behind the collections.
Secondly... I'm only 1 year into wire wrapping and having great success. And I acted on 3 of your Tips Immediately... Found the clear organizer at Michaels and ordered the 6 drawer pencil case and Non tarnish strips on Amazon ❤️❤️❤️.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Warm Hugs to you from Miami
wow, that's so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your sweet comment ❤️ And I'm very happy that you liked these tips, I;m sure you will be happy with these new items! All the best Tim xx ❤️
The draw it’s awesome
I LOVE it!! Absolute game changer for me :)
Did you get my message that I found the borax cone and the bowl on Rio Grande for the best prices, I shop on Amazon a lot but the borax cones were very expensive on Amazon.
I just when to Instagram and I’m following metalsmithSociety and they are many ideas.
By the way I’m from Dallas, Texas... Actually outside of Dallas at Grapevine Lake it’svery beautiful here.
But it’s super cold and rainy today. I’m so glad you are making more videos.
That’s my next challenge... I’m actually very nervous to start doing CZcams videos,
so I do have a Facebook group and blog so I’m planning on starting there first and start teaching some of my easier jewelry designs first.
I’m just starting out so I’m needing a lot more followers.
If you would like to follow me to just let me know if it’s okay to post on your site.
I think it’s only right to ask permission first before I add any of my information.
I’m much older then you and I wished I had started much earlier.
But when I was in my 20’s I did life an exciting life. I was a Kilgore Rangerette on College, then a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader, then I was a aerobics coordinator for Richard Simmons anatomy asylum... now I’m older and I need to lose weight...
Do you have a wonderful and blessed day..
.Did I ask where did you get the drawers that holds all of your beautiful stones
where do you get your strips that help your jewelry and silver from tarnishing so easily.
I now buy 935 silver it contain an alloy it starts with an a I can’t remember how to spell it but it helps your sterling silver to not tarnish so easily or even at all...
Have a Blessed day
Hiya Lady Stardust, how was Christmas for you two? I love all seven ideas, I use some of them but personalised. The document holder, I put a A4 sheet of black card in each one. It stiffens up the file, that's good, it shows off what is in that pocket without showing what is behind, ie less distractions. I've a magnetic holder on order. To hold all my little bits I've a small parts draw set. It's 6 across by 10 high little draws, clear plastic with a handle. Room for a masking tape label, everything together but still apart. It's a blue metal box holding it all. Cup hooks screwed into the front legs allow for holding steel rules, saw frame etc. For making jump rings I read about using knitting needles. So got a whole set from amazon in mm. I haven't cut them down but only use a small part. I wrap the cut off coil in masking tape, slip the blade of my saw through & cut from the inside out against the bench peg. I started making chains & still love making them. My light I got when I was doing x stitch, it's made by the 'Daylight bulb co' & is great for colour matching plus having sunlight on me when I work, great for SAD plus being nice & bright.
Have a wonderful new years Basia, all the best to you & yours...Stay safe...Steve x...
Great Idea about putting black card sheet behind your plastic binders on each sheet.
@@michelleknight7362 I've found it helps, & anything that helps has my vote...Stay safe...
Hi Steve! Christmas was lovely, the whole break, I needed this! I'm slowly getting back to work, and replying to comments and messages. Also trying to figure out the new rules after Brexit, and who they all mean for my small business, a headache! Truly! But it will be ok. I love your organisation hacks too! 😍 And the way you make jump rings, really awesome. We both wish you all the best Steve, stay safe xxx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I'm glad you had such a great Christmas, even though you were stuck here. I know you will figure out the post Brexit headaches, you're a very cleaver lady! The hacks were fun to steal off others, OK I changed them a bit to suit my situation, but yes, I've used a lot of what I've seen others do. The jump rings I've used ideas from others in books I read when I was starting to learn, put them together & la voila! I still want your set up!!! It can be hard to go back to work after a break, starting easy is I've found the best way. Holidays are a very stressful time for couples, suddenly all that time together with no escaping off to work?!? You come across as a very strong pair so that's good. I've been listening to loads of Beatles tracks the last few days, I got one going around in my head, the Germans call it an ear worm, so had to find it & play it. "Here, there & everywhere" A great song. let it be is playing at the moment...
Another essay from me, You both stay strong & safe please...Steve xxx...
Hi your such an inspiration,can you tell us where from do you get your gemstones?
Hi love your videos! Where do you suggest purchasing metals from ?
Hi. Love your ideas. Do you have a link for the anti-tarnish strips to put with your wires, please. Thanks.
hola! no entendí nada... por que no hablo ingles, pero aun así el contenido es tan profesional que no hizo falta, que orden tan impresionante me sirvió muchísimo ver este video y espero poner en practica tus enseñanzas cuando comience a crear mis manillas.
I love your sketch book. Can you say where you got that please?
😯😯👏Amazing.
Hiya, Happy New Year Lady Stardust, stay safe...Steve x ...
Thank you so much Steve! Happy New Year to you too! xx
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Hiya Lady Stardust, do you store your 'Clean' silver, no solder, seperate from your 'Dirty' silver with solder? If you do:- When cutting your base plate around your cabashone bezel, cut close, but not too close with shears. The off cuts will be 'clean'. Then saw to the desired spacing ready for filling, this may/will have some solder on & so be 'Dirty'. The 'Dirty' can go for reclomation, but the clean you can melt down yourself too use as plate or wire. Or send it off also but for a higher return.
Strange what thoughts go through my head as I'm falling asleep? Why shears? A lot faster as you are not working that near a line. You may not save a lot of clean but any that you do is money in your purse not theirs!
Stay safe Basia...Steve xx...
They have those magnet strips at Ace Hardware here in the U.S.
Thank you for sharing! 👏👍
Hi great info and ideas. Where did you get your anti-tarnish paper? Thank you.
I believe I got it from a jeweller's online shop, the Curious Gem in the UK? Or Cooksongold? Sorry, I don't remember, but they're widely available online :)
niceee
Oh por Dios necesito algo así mi taller es un desastre help gracias 🙂
Do you have a tutorial in your flowers?
My craftroom looks like a Michael's explosion.
I thought that was a cookie container! I had to watch without sound at first
💯👍👍
Hiya again. I forgot before... The knee clicking is natural, it's gas in the joint that moves when you flex the joint & makes a bang/clicking noise. No pain, does not cause athritus or any other problem...Stay safe...Steve...
ahh, that makes sense! Thanks so much for telling me :))
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing You're welcome Dear Lady...Stay safe ...
Heey iv tried to dm you, i need some help. Im in uk and need some tips on melting silver casting. My propane isnt near got enough and not aloud oxy torch in my house! Any help
Hi Nathaniel, sorry, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help. I hope you will be able to find a way to do it! Take care
Hiya, try a larger plumbers torch if you feel that's ok. B&Q do one called 'GoGas' No ox just propane. Check out Kim on Kernocraft. 12 months of metal. Stay safe...Steve...
@@stephencoster9532 I’ve got a big propane torch doesn’t quite cut it. Think the flame isn’t direct enough. I’ve heard map gas torches work, have you had any experience with this. Thanks
@@nathanielcreasey1505 I've never tried mapp as they stopped doing it here in the UK, It was 'GoSystem' plumbers torch. Sorry I can't help. Stay safe...Steve...
I have a wall of beads and need serious help.
