My name is Bregje and I am the proud owner of Estona. I am a metalsmith enthousiast and started my business from scratch. I produce my own jewelry in The Netherlands. Because I am so in love with working as a metalsmith and learned a lot from youtube myself, I have decided to post my own tutorials, for the love of the trade.
You can follow the metalsmithing course and all other videos I have created on my Patreon account Patreon.com/estona_tutorials.
I hope I can inspire you to explore becoming a metalsmith or maybe you just like to follow along to see how jewelry is made. Have a great time and please leave a comment if you'ld like. If you don't want to miss out on any of the tutorials, just subscribe to my channel.
So, I paid so expensive for this workbench and I have the same problems, the main about foot rest.. and I came from Brasil, so, no so tall. Other problems about this loved workbench is the bench pin ... I just wanna to use the soldering station and the bench pin in the same table, but this is impossible , right? How to solved this matter? I just wondering why durston still have this ergonomics problems since is a really old brand.. I just don't expect that..thank you for shared your experience..
There are still a lot of metalsmiths on this platform who offer their videos for free. I don't know of any whose entire channel is only pay for view. I think it's a mistake to expect that you can support yourself and your family via RU-vid. I pay approximately $16 a month for an ad-free experience and do not want to be charged again by content creators who promised to post only free tutorials, with the option of becoming a patreon for more in-depth instruction. I, too, have to buy groceries for myself and my family. Personally, I had (mostly) stopped watching your channel because your content had begun to consist primarily of product reviews for jewelry tools that most metalsmiths cannot afford. Good luck. I hope this works out for you.
I'm really sorry that it has come to this. Your videos are very good and informative. You definitely deserve to be compensated for all of your work. Best of luck to you.
I am so sorry this has happened to you. You are amazing! You always have lots of positive energy and share learnings. Very informative and fun. I hope RU-vid lift their game and compensate you for your lost income. Have joined Patreon just to follow you. :)
Jammer, Bregje. Heel begrijpelijk je beslissing. Ik heb door omstandigheden mijn beginnende hobbywerkzaamheden moeten staken maar hoop binnenkort weer te starten. Ik volg je op patreon en abonneer zodra ik er aan toe ben. Succes! 🥰
I am so disappointed that you have felt you had to move your videos to another media place. You are my absolute favorite jeweler in here and I am very sad to see you go. Unfortunately I'm not in a place where I can subscribe to your channel and do not have an apple phone to download Patreon. I had this video saved because you inspired me to make something close to it but I had to buy some equipment first which takes time as you know because it's not cheap. This was going to be my first thing to try to make. I might still by memory. Good luck to you and God Bless you and your growth elsewhere.
Thank you Saundra! I will still be back here from time to time to post a video. You can check out my playlists to go over to the 'free tutorials' playlist where you can learn a lot as well.
Hi Jennifer, I got it at Herens and Herens in the Netherlands. They ship all over Europe. If you do buy something over there, you will get a 5% discount on all tools with the code estona5.
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed all videos so far. If you would like to watch more videos, you are more than welcome to follow along on www.patreon.com/estona_tutorials.
Hi Emma, I believe this was a half rounded ring. A round ring would do nicely as well. The thickness is about 2 mm's. I do have the full video up on Patreon in case you are interested: www.patreon.com/posts/granule-ring-106441432?Link&
