As a 65-yr old hobbyist jewelry maker and weaver, this is not a type of jewelry-making that I plan on taking up. But I so love learning new things and your videos are fascinating to me. You explain the steps so well. I really like watching your technique. Tfs!

@daisy1boutique 5 лет назад

Watched a few of your video's now, I have been a wire worker for a couple of years now and I am looking to start silversmithing. I think your tutorials are great you explain things well the do's and don'ts are clear. I hope you keep producing more. Thanks

@GomeowCreations 5 лет назад

Thanks and I still make videos 😀👍 Do you happen to have any suggestions?

@annedarr1894 5 лет назад

I began 30 yrs ago made a couple copper PCs and began a business working on boats. Can’t crawl around on boats anymore so get to do what I love again. Trying to get my groove on again.

@GomeowCreations 5 лет назад

Well best of luck and yeah the little torch is awesome to use and it is that I use for about 99% of my work

@agnescleary2312 5 лет назад

Great video! I especially like how you show how to fix mistakes. This is a classic, elegant style that looks easy, but entails some tricky techniques, which you demonstrate perfectly! Thanks.

@GomeowCreations 5 лет назад

Thank you and you have me an idea for a video. What do you think of me making a video showing how to fix simple common mistakes that can happen when working on a piece.

@roykersey2287 6 лет назад

I loved the way you sped up the video so that it moved along well and added the commentary later at a brisk pace. Very clear presentation! My only other comment would be that such a great smith should have a #20 quick change handpiece instead of the old #30! Save another few minutes of shop time.

@GomeowCreations 6 лет назад

Well thank you. It takes a lot of work to edif my videos so they don't drag on. I basically shoot the hole video without talking so I can add a clean voice over later. I do need to get a better flex shaft set up with some better hand pieces. The quick change piece would be very nice to have. 😁👍

@mamaddoesdinner4977 6 лет назад

I have really enjoyed watching you grow in your craft 😊 You might want to consider flowing your solder onto the foundation piece. For this project it's your silver ring. You can do this quickly by stick soldering (after your first solder, pickle and rinse, reflux heat to solder melt point and touch wire solder to the outside of your ring making sure to get good coverage. Pickle, rinse, dry and use a file to smooth any bumps.) Now you can fit your decorative pieces over this (fluxing the ring and pieces first) and then heat the entire ring until the solder runs. You can do this same technique with pallions if that's what you have, it's just a bit more fiddly 😊 Have A Super Fantastic Day!

@GomeowCreations 6 лет назад

Thank you, I will have to keep that in mind for the next time I make something like this. :)

@mamaddoesdinner4977 6 лет назад

Just "found" you by accident. Thanks for the great video. Not only do you offer some great tips - but the video is great quality and your commentary is really good and delivered at the perfect pace. Thanks for sharing your time and expertise.

@GomeowCreations 5 лет назад

Well hey, welcome to my channel and thank you for your kind words. If you don't mind me asking, how did you find me?

@Chequers99 5 лет назад

One of your videos came up among the suggested/related ones that appear on the right-hand side when watching another video. I'm subscribed to various jewelry and metal pages. I'm self-taught, or I guess RU-vid and internet taught. I believe it was the inlaid crushed turquoise band that drew me in, as I've never done anything like that and I work with turquoise a lot; it's an obsession. Really, I've watched a lot of videos and yours rank with the best in every aspect. Thanks!@@GomeowCreations

I worked for Zales for a few years many years ago. We just used Windex in the ultrasonic. Easy. Ammonia works well. I like dish soap and hot water though for the polishing compound. I need an ultrasonic cleaner. Erg. More money. Grr. Nice ring. Nice video. Thanks for posting!

@GomeowCreations 6 лет назад

Yeah I know the feeling, I need a new ultrasonic setup. This one is starting to fall apart and not work as well. 😅

I’m a total beginner! Just finished purchasing the basic tools.. ordered some metal earlier this week 😄 Getting ready to make stacking rings! But don’t worry I’ll be in touch after that lol! However, one thing comes to mind.. how to resize a ring with a setting to make it bigger? Smaller is obvious, maybe not easy but obvious lol

Solder - bit.ly/SilverSolderPaste Flux - bit.ly/SmartFlux

@SaidSaid-rv6pq 3 года назад

Hi.. I show your copper Ring vedio Pls whats the spry you used AT last on the Ring.! And can i use this spry on a silver Ring to keep it a long time sheining After polishing! Thanks...

@peucenon 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this teaching video. I have made a couple of them but have been unable to fill in the gaps on the sides where you say you use a bit of easy solder. Since solder doesn't fill gaps, do you find this works?

@GomeowCreations 2 года назад

You can use square wire so it will be flat on the ring and have way less to fill with solder

@dhy5342 6 лет назад

A small belt sander would make the final sanding go a lot quicker, eliminating filing and multi grade sanding.

@GomeowCreations 6 лет назад

Oh yeah, that would be so much quicker haha. Sadly I don't have one so I'm stuck with hand files and sandpaper for now. 😄

@brig4489 3 года назад

Hi ! Quick question, I’m trying to make this ring and I’m using silver as the base of the ring like you but for some reason when I try to solder it the solder chips won’t melt, I don’t know why, is there any tips you can give to avoid this ?

@GomeowCreations 3 года назад

Did you pickle your metal to make sure it's clean? That torch and solder are you using? Are you using flux?

@brig4489 3 года назад

@@GomeowCreations I did pickle it and the solder I’m using is the one you listed on your shop in the links you put in your description, it’s the silver chips, and yes I am using flux. I’m not sure which torch I am using since it’s one of my dads. I think I did figure out my problem though, the edges weren’t flush so there were little gaps instead of it being straight against each other, do you think this is probably why it didn’t work before ? Thank you so much for answering !

@GomeowCreations 3 года назад

Solder will melt regardless if the metal is clean and has enough heat. Small torches have a very hard time getting all the metal upto the same temps, allowing the solder to melt.

@lorenopelle8457 4 года назад

Wonderfull a question if is it possible regarding the torc what kind of gas and torc is better for your point of view and tha "pasta" for soldering is soda? Thanks in asvance very very good job

@GomeowCreations 4 года назад

I can't fully understand what you are saying but it will try to answer what I think you are asking 😁 When it come to a torch, I like my smiths little torch because it can do just about anything I need it too and I can change the tips to work on large or small parts.

@blisk8285 2 года назад

hey can i use aluminium wire instead of silver, and if so do i need different solder or will any work

@GomeowCreations 2 года назад

Aluminum is a very soft metal and not great for doing this. Also aluminum has a lower melting point than the solder so it will melt before the solder does.

What is the gauge of the square wire? Great video!

@GomeowCreations 5 лет назад

I honestly don't remember but it was about 1.25mm - 1.3mm thick

@Dharlanna 6 лет назад

Love this ring! I think you could easily make it into a spinner ring if you wanted to. And I wondered, do the brass and/or copper come to temperature quicker than the silver? It looks like they might. Not that it seems to be a problem, I just noticed they get red faster.

@GomeowCreations 6 лет назад

Thank you, and yes the 3 metals all heat at different rates. I have had problems with brass in the past melting before anything else so you just have to be careful when heating it up.
