Man! I'm telling you. You got me feeling like I can do this. I am an avid Sterling Lover. I have huuuuuge collections and tons of sterling jewelry that I wear everyday and some I never take off. I decided to start making my own jewelry just last week because I some ideas that I have not seen😁 I have everything I need except the courage and the skill. I have subbed and have been studying your (and other) videos for weeks. I thank you for your time in teaching me and us! ❤
Well I'm happy to be able to help 👍 check out this video about a tool that might help a lot with sawing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NLf7-EKJihc.html that is if you haven't already seen it 😁👍
@@GomeowCreations I did see that one! 😂I have to get used to do things the _old fashioned_ way before I spend on any advanced tools 😁. I will get there one day ❤
Yes definitely, you want the saw to do the work, I’ve found if you not using the right blade for the thickness of you work you often end up pushing too hard and breaking blades as well as when turning many folks try to push which snaps blade
I just want you to know that you've been really inspiring. I don't know why but something clicked while watching your videos. About 16ish years ago I started silversmithing and I loved it. As my skills increased, I began making small pieces for gifts and as I got better I started to sell them to people I knew so they could gift them. Everything I did was self taught and there weren't youtube videos back then. I got to the point of setting up a company, finding a shared space, and starting to produce more while working a full time job to pay bills and a part time to support my then hobby. The day I got my companies logo back I was extremely excited and then that was the day my dad died. Then, both my grand parents died within an few months and my life fell apart. I never did get that studio fully operational. I stuffed everything jewlery related away in 2 of those plastic storage totes and lugged those around for years through cross country moves, marriage, and kids. A few years ago I finally got rid of it all when I had to decide between space for family stuff and those bins I hadn't opened in years. I don't know how I found you channel but it really made me wish I hadn't gotten rid of any of it. It was relatively cheap stuff like a no brand name flex shaft but it represented something that I loved to do. I was saving up for a few unnecessary upgrades to my truck but I decided to go another route and set up a studio for myself. I've ordered about 90% of what I could need to accomplish anything by hand at least. I Won't be getting an acetylene setup because young kids and unstable gasses don't mix but by this time next month I should have a few pieces done. Thank you.
You can use one of the new butane torches for all soldering needs. They work very well. Mine was about $50. I hope you keep making your creations. It's good for the heart.❤
This is an excellent instructional video. This should be required viewing and a required practicum by any metal smith student. Actually you should take this down and charge for it. It's that good. The "what if's" and the "how to fix" are icing on an already excellent cake. Thanks man.
Honestly regardless of price these Nano blades are absolutely fantastic, I’ve tired them all super pike, Antelope, Herkules, Glardon etc and these are by far the best, I have used them to cut O1 tool steel which is not gonna work with almost any other blade and these are priced good too, I find they are a little stiffer then some other but I’ve been able to run 8/0 aggressively and not snap blades every two seconds as I am a watchmaker so I am often in need of super fine blades, only other blade I like is Herkules because they make 10/0 but it’s probably one of the most difficult things to use in my shop, they are so fine they brake just looking at them sometimes haha
Thanks, Randy, for your excellent advice. Have been watching your website for a while now and it has inspired me to take a jewelry making class. Today was the first day of class and I thought the jewelry saw was going to be easy but for me, it was not. These tips will really help. I am going to practice them on some scrap copper that I do have laying around.
I absolutely love my nano blades! I've been using this brand since last year and they are better by far! It's great seeing you back at it! What a treat!
Loved your video, as always! So exciting to see you with more and more sponsors, too. You absolutely deserve it! I just used your code at Pepe for the LPF Adapter last week. ☺️ I hope you know how appreciated you are to those of us learning this craft at home on our own!
Well thank you very much for the kind words. I hope you like that tool. When it comes to new sponsors I have some for stones coming soon with a discount code so I hope people like that 😊👍

Really, really appreciate this.. very thorough and as usual, very encouraging. 👍👍. I don't have access to any classes for this and would have to struggle on my own. Thank you so much for being so generous with your work 💕
Brilliant video. I have a question, when you was cutting the inside waste of the triangle. Why did the holes that you drilled have to be so small. You had room for a bigger drill bit and make a larger hole. Good video.
Your videos are easy to follow and encouraging. Have you ever made cufflinks or a money clip? I've watched other videos and you truly have been my “go-to” to for learning or solving jewelry-making problems. Thank you for sharing your talents and skills.
Oh you smart smart man! I have a silhouette cutter and can make print and cut stickers for templates. I had thought about printing out but not using my machine to cut them.
alright, I just checked my saw and its...gt half the throat height of your small saw. makes sense maybe? since I got this from a clockmakers toolkit from 100yrs ago. but good to know. I'll add a saw to the saw blade order. I'll continue the video when I got the right equipment. so far seems pretty good!
I know everyone would love instant everything, but there is something about being a struggling artist that just make us think outside the box. I think I appreciate the struggle because I have been forced to be a better artist. I'm sure many will agree. Actually your wrong about there not being a law prohibiting using any federal or foreighn bank note or coin from being defaced. USC title 18 § 331 is very specific. But i have never heard of it being enforced in decades.
@@GomeowCreations Yep, very good blades. I do use them myself. If you want to isolate to only two sizes of blades, the number two, and the number three ( gets the most use ) are my favorites. They hold up well, they stay sharp longer, and I break a lot fewer of them compared to other brands than using beeswax as a lubricant, but I do like The blade lubricant stick from pepper tools
This is great. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm trying to combine this and your mountain range video to have an inner cutout of metal that matches seamlessly inside the other. The tricky part is that I don't have that inner unused area that you see in this video to drill through. I'm going to try doing it with the thinnest drill bit I find to see if that will work but I'm worried it will leave a weird circular cut. Any suggestions? Thanks again!
Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊 Could you please tell me what's the best kind of glu to use so the paper stays ? Im asking for a type of glu not necessarily a precis one cuz i live in france so the brands will probably be different Thank you 😊
Hi Randy, do you have a video on how to clean up work such as your last piece? I thought about escapement files but they are still too big for small areas. I followed Andrew Berry's advice by leaving .5mm to the outside of the line design to then go in and file away to make sure you don't cut into your work piece, but that leaves a lot of filing clean up that I can't get to. Any advice would be great thank you.
How can you tell when you reach the far end of the 6mm hole and need to move the piece and saw back? Do you feel the saw hit the wood? If so, does sawing into the wood dull or clog the blades sooner? Thanks for the great videos!
Your videos are very helpful! Thank you! Do you have one on metals and the best solder to use for jewelry making? I am having some trouble getting my solder to hold together and would love to see some examples of what to use.
@@GomeowCreations Sad to say all my stuff is Bead Landing brand. I got it as a starting point learn how to work with metals before moving on to better material, but I can't get a solder joint to hold. I tried to make a mountain ridge ring and the solder all cracked and broke apart.
Thanks again for all your good info. I know from some of your other videos that you also use the Knew Concept saw from time to time. My question is about whether you have tried very thin blades (6/0, or 7/0) in the Knew Concept saw? I have been having issues with Rio's Laser Gold blade in these sizes. They pull out on one end with very little tension. Wondering if it's the saw, or possibly the slickness of the blade.
@@GomeowCreations Good info. I do like the saw for piercing because it's much quicker. Haven't experienced the problem with 4/0 blades so far. So looks like I may have to get out my old frame when I want to use those super thin blades. Thanks again for your help.
You can use sand paper, files or diamond burrs to clean it up. You can also throw them into a tumbler for a while but it will also round out a lot of the work but it can be an interesting look as well
I don't normally do that but I have done 2 pieces that need the line up with one another. It was a mountain range and one part was silver and the other was copper. I have seen other stack things and cut them but never with a lot of details but the out side basic shape for the most part.
@@GomeowCreations yep because everyone doesn't have good machines to work Especially the guys who are planning to do a startup with less budget not pure diamonds
@@GomeowCreations According to your experience any stone that look and shine like diamond and easily available and pls also tell about the glue how can we buy it from anywhere.Thank you
Here's a question I just had to figure out. I ended up stripping the thumb screw threads on my saw. What can I do to stop this from happening and is there a place to find saw parts if needed?
Can you post that comment again with out the link. RU-vid doesn't like then people post links and will just remove the comment so I can't see it. I only know I got the comment because I got a notification about it but I can't click on it to see it 😅 Just tell me the name of the saw frame and I can look it up.
@@GomeowCreations Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. Ok, I got a: Eclipse PS51 HSS Piercing Saw, 11-1/2" Long. I think I might have just bought a low quality saw that has zero grip. So I made that thing as tight as I could get it.
Yeah the cheap saws like that one are very hit and miss. I do suggest getting something a little better seeing if you strip out that frame it is pretty much trash. Here as some of my saw suggestions but they will depend on you budget. Also I have all of these and know they work well: 5 in German Style Sawframe - amzn.to/3BLFHgT 5 in Haymaker SawFrame - bit.ly/HaymakerSawFrame 4.25 in GreenLion Jeweler's Saw Frame - amzn.to/3zFmLyl 5 in Knew Concepts Saw Frame - amzn.to/3f4AG9p If you are looking for good blades these are the best ones I have used: NANO Jeweler's Saw Blades - bit.ly/NANOSawBlades
@@GomeowCreations Thank you for the recommendations. I'm probably going to have to save up before I purchase a new saw. For now, do you think I could get away with rigging it? The small square part of the clamp is still good and it's real easy to get a bolt and wingnut to fit the threads. I did invest in better blades though. Those are awesome.
All idols and images of God need to be made only with refreshed faces and redesigned! From 2022, there will be only one face of God for all caste and religion idols (commandment)! Woe to all disobedient creatures!
