I appreciate you sharing the entire process to anything, not adding problems that come up is like teaching half of a process. Thank you for your honesty!!. 🙏🏼
I think it’s really useful to see the problems that you have, as well as the successes. Your videos are really helpful for a beginner hobbyist. Thanks!
Definitely includes problems and trouble shooting. It is very helpful for us newbies to understand that even professional jewellers don’t always do things perfectly.
adding a figure 8 clasp safety in the locked position will add another level of security. 53 years of fab. has taught me that a clasp that doesn't accidentally open is priceless.
Absolutely agree with you! As mentioned in the end of this video, I’ll show how I make a safety catch in the next one. I try not to make each video too long.
In my own work making swords and fittings, it seems like learning how to fix my own mistakes has been the most important part of my growth as a craftsman and artist. I think everyone learns the basic process before they learn how to fix mistakes. Having a good ability to be creative and problem solve is just about the most important thing you are teaching. Once we can improvise and fix things, we really understand the processes we are trying to implement. Good for you for being honest with us about how things really work.
Absolutely include how to fix issues. It is so helpful. You explain in such detail. I made a similar tube necklace in a class a few years ago. Your instructions explain the steps i no longer remember really clear.
Great video! And yes, I think you should definitely always show problems. It's the best way to learn and keeps it real. Problem solving has taught me as much, if not more, than all the books and tutorials and practice of many years. I have heard (haven't had to do this yet) that you can soak sterling in Alum in hit water, to dissolve steel. It takes a while, but that metal would have eventually corroded out of your tube. A second method....This is used commonly to remove stuck drill bits that have broken off in the metal. Works!
Love seeing problems and their solutions. Who knows, maybe someone else might have a suggestion to prevent such problems or have a different solution that is interesting
Wonderful to see your success and problems. This is very interesting for me because I am an acupuncture practitioner who makes a bit of jewellery but I am going to make some silver and gold insertion tubes for inserting acupuncture needles. Thank you again for your videos
Interesting video. Nice to see how you make these. All the techniques & thoughts are fascinating to me & the unexpected problems & solutions are hugely interesting. Not sure if this would work, but if the stuck rod was steel you might have been able to get it out by putting the stuck assembly in hot water. The linear coefficient of expansion of silver is twice that of steel, so this may have freed it more easily. Thank you for sharing!
Please show mistakes. We all make them and your ingenuity may show us different ways to solve problems. Your videos are always well done. Also, I like the way you wired your solder pad together to extend its life. It’s a frugal use of materials.
I prefer to include problems that happen spontaneously in the video! "Because I often face various problems while working, I often wonder how other workers solve these problems. Understanding your process seems to be of great help. It's just my opinion, but your opinion is the most important!😉
Problems always occur. Professionals know and have experienced that. But professionals more or less never need tutorial videos. It is the hobbyists who watch those and learn from it. Showing accidental mistakes and solutions to them can only help.
I think it's wonderful that you include difficult things that happen when you're working. Too many people cut things like that out and many people wonder what the heck they are doing wrong when they happen to them! They think the tutorial maker is perfect, and therefore they should be too. That is not LIFE. Thank you, I enjoy your videos!❤❤🤍🤍💙💙
