Where does one get needle-nose pliers without teeth?

I want to make a 6-1 Persian bracelet using 999 silver. The only pure silver wire I have found is dead soft. Will this procedure work on fine silver? Also can you twist it two turns one direction then reverse two turns until hard and maybe get less distortion in the wire? Thank you.

These two people will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the lessons...sorry for the antics....lol 💋

This is just what I needed. I bought a bunch of wire before I knew there were different hardness levels. It's too soft. I got myself an anvil to work on that's two sided. Stainless steel and rubber, now I just need a metal hammer since I already have that black and yellow one. I was also gifted some cheep wire twisters and have yet to get them to work, but I just might not have done it right. Long story short, I was excited for my wire and made my mom a ring and it keeps bending out of place. At what stage in the ring making process is it best to harden the wire?

In really appreciate this straight forward video without trying to sell us something, just you showing us how to do it. Thank you.

Only been making jewellery for a short while. I was getting so frustrated crimping because I couldn't get crimp to butt up close to beads. I came across your video today and was very happy. i redid a couple of necklaces which were a disaster, lol and now they are perfect. Cannot thank you enough for your time and energy sharing this video.

Thank you for this video. It is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again.

That’s so cool and all, but how are your natural nails so long? 😮

Thank you xxxx

Привет из Крыма! Попалось ваше видио, я в восторге! Я тоже так,, диагностирую" бирюзу. Здорово! Спасибо!

Hopefully by now you're feeling better....

I cannot thank you enough! I need to trim my blocking wire for finishing a knitted object. To save some money, I bought very long ones, which I'll cut to my needs. Then I'll need to thread the wire through most of the edge stitches! I didn't know this tool existed, and looked for a long time before I found your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Why Chinese turquoise is no good

I love this video!

well I got a fe w Ideas that I can implement. How do you keep track of your suppliers, prices etc (book keep)

Well its ten years later after the demo, but her is the FACT. Over 90% of the turquoise produced now is stabilized with the demand for turquoise so high we have to accept using stabilized stones if we want to keep producing new jewelry. Is there high grade and gem grade still neighbors mined sure but try buying it at a price that allows us to make jewelry for the masses. I cut and sell turquoise all the time in addition to making jewelry but face it folks when a guy walks past my show booth munching on a corn dog in shorts with sandals holding onto his new girl friend he ain't looking for investment grade turquoise, he trying to buy a shiny blue stone to impress her on the salary he makes.. Remember guys there are for more common people than rich keep it in perspective. Buy turquoise jewelry because you like it. If you are buying as an investment this a bad idea.. INVEST IN YOUR SELF INSTEAD THIS CAN NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY OR GO DOWN IN VALUE.. peace...

Thank you!

Thank you so much for demostrating how to use wire in which I'm kinda new at!

Thank you. I need this for my project!!

Hi! Today I tryed to burn my turqouse to see if it is not plastic. To my suprice it started to pop like crazy. No smoke though! I didnt understand what it means so Googled it and found your video. I was very happy to learn that this means that my turqouse is natural. But please could you tell me more about this reaction to fire and why it means that its natural. Or where should I look for more information about this. Thank you very much 💙

Ty. Great info. I'm new at wire wrapping. That was the most I have seen on YOU TUBE just talking about the wire, not just manipulating it for design. I hope as I scroll through your videos there will be others.✌️♥️

Very interesting. Do you sell your necklaces?

Why not heat treat with a torch then quench in water?

I don't know why but looking at this video seems like the kind of craft room I miss having. So comfortable and cozy. Now, I have upgraded mine with new table and desk and a bit more organized, I don't have that feeling anymore. I feel like I'm in an office and on the clock. I haven't created a thing.

Do you hardening the wire with the twister before shaping your ear wire?

And you can use a piece of flat wood and roll the wire under it back and forth. Like a piece of a wooden frame would be great. I put a piece of tape on the end so I dont get splinter. I need to go find the video so I can list it here then you can see it yourself.

So cool

Amazon is also full of this kind of junk.

Thank you🙃

That was fun! The sleeping beauty is dreamy!

The Chinese stuff, I knew that!

Thank you for the fun video...keep the Sleeping Beauty

I have just discovered your channel after more than 10 years of you publishing it! Great tips... your videos are just what I was looking for! Thank you very much! Ciao from Italy!

Thank you! This was a huge help :)

How do you tell of a gemstone bead is fake?

Hi

Muy útil la explicación. Gracias.

Nicely done! Thank you!

You can use a bag of casting grain and hand tumble for hardening also.

Thx. Always appreciate technique videos and tips.

Never touch hot rocks with bare hands

Interesting thanks, was thinking heat would be used😂goes to show what I know! So much easier than I thought!

3:06.. False warning... 3:41

Thankyou so much for this xx

I love this artist.

You should be especially suspicious of "gemstones" from China. Just remember, they are very good at replicating things. BTW, I also wanted to add, I miss your videos!! Are you going to still post from time to time? PLLLEEEEZZZZ

Wow I like your technique! Really nice!. Thanks for sharing❤

Are gemstone even real ? I wonder

I have not seen you for several years are you still online somewhere. You are so good.

Great tutorial.
