Great video Lucy. Really informative. Thanks! Watching from London.
I put my pickle in and old dill pickle jar inside a wax warmer designed for, well, waxing legs and such things. I like the ability to swap out jars of pickle quickly, and have a sealed container that won't spill to much if it gets tipped over.
Hello from Houcine. A beginner in Jewelry.73 years old. MOROCCO
I also recommend getting magnifying viewing visors such as the OptiVisor DA-7 which has a magnification of 2.75X and a focal length of 6 inches. The OptiVisor's headband is quickly adjustable to fit different hat sizes and has lateral swivel pivots such that the magnifying lens can conveniently flip up when not needed for magnified viewing. A variety of different lens magnifications are available such that the stronger the magnification, then the shorter is its focal length.
Can you make something from start to finish Can you explain the steps each and every step along the journey of making jewelry from start to finish it’s gonna be a long video but can you do it
Yes,, from India
So many thing to buy😰 I will get there t.q.Lucy.❤️
You nailed it! I love your video just starting in metal smithing and I'm loving it😉
I spent months learning what tools i needed and the result of all that work includes almost everything in this video with only a few more items... wish this had come out sooner!!!
Me too! I have some junk I don’t need. Too much stuff really.
I'll get chop chopping making the next one soon I promise :)
I graduated high school 2 years ago and really missed my jewelry making class, it was my favorite! I just randomly thought of it and forgot a lot of what I learned :( then I find this video. Thank you ❤️
What high school has jewelry making class and where? Interesting
This is very helpful video,I’ve worked on repairing watches for years,been doing a little jewelry repair here and there,wasn’t sure about some of the tools,thanks!
I’m gonna subscribe an learn more ..
Hi Lucy, ur videos are absolutely transparent and honest, 👍🏻
I love your attitude!!!
Thanks Lucy! Shared it to Inspiring Metalsmiths Jewelry!
Thanks Lucy Im only a beginner, Ive done lots of silver and bronze brazing but am mad keen to make some silver jewellery. Thankfully I have many of your suggested manual tools as my dad was an aircraft engineer, lists of very fine stones of all shapes and a similar array of files. Anyway thanks you did float my boat... so now to get started
This video is super impressive. VERY well organized and produced with the perfect amount of information and very good information. Lucy, you are amazing.
Great video. Amazing. I am thankful for information.
So informative, great content! Thank you very much for this video!
Great info! Great classes! Highly recommend Lucy’s classes. I have learned so much from her classes!
Hey Lucy,
THANKS for the video!
As a beginner there´s a high risk of buying wrong tools or bad quality.
Wish I´ve watched it before I bought my start-equipment :D
Love ❤ your simple explanation on the stuff.
Absolutely phenomenally informative. Your explanation of each has been so easily understood. You are a great teacher!! I am really looking forward to watching all different videos to learn.. thank you
Wow, you're a gem! thank you for a great video! A very good list & great explanation! Im an amateur jeweler that sells on etsy but dont have the means to buy EVERY tool under the sun, so this is very helpful list! I am saving this video for sure!
Great video- absolutely right on with all these tools! The only thing I’d add is a center punch for starting to drill (we use mostly sheet metal) , and I personally don’t teach students to saw with burr lubricant. That’s only because my high school students a)become too dependent on it, b) cut it all to bits, and c) saw just fine without it. Again, just personal preference. Yes to Swiss and German all the way!
I'm just starting and I've got some basic tools from a home workshop like drill press, sanders, vices etc. I'd add to that video, if you've got generic tools you can make your own jewellery-specific tools. I made myself mostly simple workholding tools, punches and modified some existing hammers and anvils by polishing them. Cheap tools need to be polished again after some time, but I find it worth the effort.
Thanks for your information
Thank you so much..I subscribed...I'm just starting this journey into jewelry making..so your videos are going to be alot of help...have a wonderful day...
I have almost every single one of these tools and I need my first project to start this
That really was super helpful. Thank you so much
Thnks you ma'am in this information and tools needed for starting jewellery.
Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank you Lucy.
Thank you Lucy, for an excellent demo, very detailed and very relevant. I am a novice in the jewelry making world.
Thank you also for NO music to hurt the ears, oh joy!!
Your workshop looks enviably organized, nice work. Love your tutorials. Subscribed.
I hope to become a serious jeweler. So much to learn! Your take on the tools, with brand names, sizes, and suppliers was very much appreciated. I want to say here, that I have used a Dremel rotary tool 4000 for many years but they are poorly made and break down, need carbon brush replacements and never have the power. Foredom Flex Shaft set up is much better. The choices on Foredom are mind boggling, but you selected the most versatile (and cheapest) motor of the 3 available - my choice too. Glad to know which handpieces you picked as there are too many choices. Very glad to know what bits you picked too! I want to add that Diamond bits whether drill or bur or hole saws are very useful for cutting into ceramic, tile, glass (use water spray during cut) and I made many bowls into planters with these diamond bits, for everyday DIY use around the house. Useful for drilling into porcelain fragments or tile for making jewelry. Always spray water during diamond drilling into stone, clay, glass.
In the US buy these here:
Plastic goggles - Harbor Freight $2.
Wire, metal supplies, jewelry tools - Etsy.com or Amazon.com.
Stones - Ebay, Etsy, or local gem shows in your towns. On Etsy, you get all the Indian vendors from Jaipur, Rajasthan, home of stone cutting and great source of world gems. Pick your vendor carefully. Some are good, some are not good. See reviews.
Ottofrei.com is a good place to buy pricey tools or kits, cheaper than Rio Grande. They are reputable and based in Oakland, CA.
One thing I would love to get some advice on... what model ultrasonic cleaner do you use if at all? I have jewelry to clean from a house fire and overwhelmed by the huge variety and brands of these. Many made in China do not last or malfunction. I need a good one, portable size.
Fantastic valuable message. Thank you very much
That was great. I am retired but still do a little. I also teach to get folks started and will direct them to your wonderful video.
This was EXCELLENT! Thanks 👍👍👍
Never had those beautiful tools seen i started do stone settings😆😆😆
Just from this video alone i can tell you deserve more subscribers. Great info, good presentation, excellent videography, and good sound quality. Everything a master videographer needs.
Thank you..must save up
Fantastic introduction to initial kit.
Totally with you on the Busch, GRS and Maun brands and also avoiding cheap sawblades :)
Ahhhhh fanx guys. I wish I was still in Brum so I could pop in and visit you! Are you still next to the Big Peg?
Swiss saw frame. Warrington hammer, ball pane hammer and a riveting hammer all you need. Pliers perfect and lindstrom cutters
And a LASER WELDER :) My god I would love one of those!
@@LucyWalkerJewellery I own a laser welder in my workshop. Great for platinum, god with gold but not the best with silver.
@@soseasidesam9823 Yeah I've worked with them a lot - just never been able to afford my own! fingers crossed one day..... I'd rather have a laser than a flash car any day!
Cool and helpful video,thank you
Great video love!, just going into the industry and this is the best most well put together and organized video I've seen out there on setup. Subb for sure!. Editing and production is top notch as well!.
Ahhh thank you so much Bill! my video editing skills are improving daily, but I'm still permanently confused ha ha ha!
Superb explain....Mam
Great video, well done. I’m thankful for your expertise and information. Thank you!
Thank you so much Sandra!
Fantastic guide.Thank you very much indeed.
No file handles....love it! I ain't ever used em either. :-)
Thank you for sharing. Great tips. 👍
Wow that was great info. I do metal smithing, pretty much by reading and you tube. Thank you. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you Shanda!
Excellent Intel
Lots of extremely useful information in your video here Lucy. Awesome precise and clear presentation.
You also got across the ultra importance of wearing a mask to me. Well done.
Seriously you have the cleanest shop that I have seen rivaling my loving and missed fathers '
Love your videos! where do I get that rack that holds your pliers? Thanks for being so thorough
now i love more than ever doing jewelry
Glad to be of service Mr Red! xx
Im also gold smith i like ur guide jewellery tools
Thank you so much!
Very helpful, thank you
Best video I’ve found on this
Hi Lucy been watching from South Africa. Love your vidios. With every thing going on here i had lost some hope but you seam to have given me the insparation to get back up and working at the bench again. Thankyou very much
Ohhh thank you so much Martin! I have quite a few students in South Africa, and my best friend lives there too, Hope to make it to your part of the world next year!!
Thanks, I just subscribed. I think you did a great job explaining what we need to know.
Thank you so much Danny
Best video I've seen on this subject
Thank you so much Paul! we are super busy working on more right now :)
I have never in my entire goldsmith education used other hammers than a chasing, mallet and a basic cross peen hammer and thinking about it i mostly used a mallet
Wow its really amazing and I wish you make more videos. Can you please suggest how to clean plated (gold,silver and rose gold) stainless Steel jewelry after engraved? I see lot of stains, marks. Also how to remove scratches or protect during engraved. Really appreciate your help
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us.👍😉
I don’t make jewelry or plan on it. With that being said I loved your video. Great points. Foreman is better then a dremel by far.
Really love your plier set behind. Hope you can show us someday
That's actually a brilliant idea Gemma! thank you so much xx
Nice, Great work
Very good advice
Thx for this video - super helpful! But wouldn't u include a rolling mill too on this list?
Wowwwww!!! That's a lot. But very very informative
Just subbed
Love your channel
I want to pick up where I left off long ago in high school
Great video!
Thanks for sharing! KANSAS USA
I’d add a hand screw clamp, paired with a scrap of wood it’s a lot more maneuverable than a bench pin and I like to sometimes just use the clamp to hold pieces I’m filing.
Also I could not live without my triangle file
Agreed
WOW!!! Fantastic video! I wish I had seen this video before I spent countless hours trying to find all these tools by myself. This video is extremely helpful for anyone, such as myself, who's trying to get into jewelry making!
Thanks so much Joseph! i'm really happy you liked it!
बहुत ही बढ़िया जानकारी 👍👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏
Hi Lucy! Love this video and the resources on your website. I'm a beginner and starting to purchase my tools. What weight would you recommend if I were to only have one good quality chasing hammer? I looked at the two brands you recommend for hammers, and they list several options for the head weights. Thank you!
رائع ممتاز
جميل جدا جدا
لديك معدات مميزة من أفضل الماركات
سلمت يداك فيديو رائع جداً جداً
شكرا كثيرا لك
Thanks lot
I appreciate you! ❤
Thank you so mush.
this video is super informative and useful , thank you Lucy .🌻
Thanks
Hey thank you for the video! I’m currently starting a small jewelry business, and I will be making Cuban link chains to start. I’ve watched as much videos as I can, but there are still some items as far as tools and such that I am uncertain about. Could you give me a list of what I would need please
Great video, Lucy! Where would you recommend someone goes to buy metals as a hobbyist? Does rio grande sell to anyone or just professional jewelers?
👍 Great video! excellent! Thank u! :)
Hi I was looking to know more about the bench you working on. What bench is that. I like the large surface.
Jewellery tools very nice
Love this video. Making jewelry is a great way to make art, and even create a small business that can lead to a path of fulfillment and happiness!
I'll never be rich! but I'm doing for a living what I would pay to be doing as a hobby! that's winning right? :)
@@LucyWalkerJewellery Absolutely. Make the best with what you have, and do what makes you happy. Thats winning :)
@@LucyWalkerJewellery if you don’t mind me asking, what is it that you suppose keeps you from being “rich”? I can also understand if you don’t care to be rich in money.
GOD Bless You...
Your video is very good.
Happy New Year! Thank you so much! My fear and anxiety has been reduced immensely! Your so informative and easy to listen to:)
Happy New Year Dino! so glad you like the video! and even happier you can understand my accent ha ha!
@@LucyWalkerJewellery I’m from Brooklyn New York, I understand accents and replay frequently 😂
Do you like your plier holder? Where did you get it?
So where do you have your classes?
Great video, thank you. Where is the best place to buy these tools and supplies in Europe (I live in Germany)?
I cut opal I'm just getting into jewelry. I welded for 20 years, whats the best piece to start with?
Hello, Lucy it's a pleasure to meet you. Saying hello from California. Not sure where you are and looking forward to getting to know you and learning. Thank you
Hey Lorena in California! Welcome lovely :) I'm actually based in Malaysia right now, but born and bred in England. Bit cold over there for my liking though!!
Could you please explain the pin jaw why does it hold wire ? Is it for soldering
Absolutely love the accent!
Awe shucks thanks! it's a bit of a mish mash of everything these days xxx
Love your information I'm a master Jewelers as well
I wish I was a master jeweller! thank you so much Alfredo
How do we get the download for the tools we need?
Hello, Lucy.
What model number is your Foredom SR?
