Thank you Melissa- excellent video that clearly demonstrates a variety of tools, tips, tricks and how to correct when steps go “a little wonky”. Your camera coverage and clear directions are pretty close to perfect!

Yesterday I had surgery on my back, which came out with thumbs up. I could not get to sleep, went on RU-vid and stumbled upon your Tool Time Tuesday video of one of the projects and became enthralled with the project. I am going to view Project # 9 to start, but will have to stop so my better have can have her time on our computer.A few years back I became obsessed in metal jewelry making of all sorts, but stopped because my wife got really sick. Seeing these projects may have stirred the embers to get back to work on more jewelry.I am a retired person so I have all the time in the world to keep my hands busy.

@MelissaMuir 5 лет назад

Sharon Fleming welcome. Glad surgery went well and wishing you a speedy recovery. I am so glad to hear I have sparked a few embers. I hope you are able to get back into it.

Thank you so much for these tutorials. I would be struggling a lot more with just the book. Did you notice that although the book says "130mm," the length of the template is actually 125mm? The rest of the dimensions match, though. Anyway, the template seems long enough, so I'm going with that.

@stephencoster9532 2 года назад

Hiya Melissa, Great video as always, thank you. One point if I may, you use 20 gauge metal but then 0.3mm please as your main audience is American could you always use the gauge size for them, but mm for all us Europeans, Asians, Australians, and Russians, although you may not want to help those last ones at present... Alan always uses mm too. Stay safe, Steve...

@MelissaMuir 2 года назад

Yes. If you watch the rest of the videos you will see that I did start to do that. At the time this video was made, I was still learning all the mm and their corresponding gauges.

@marilynsouthern1612 2 года назад

Excellent, excellent video! Question…can you drill the holes for the ear wire “before” you start forming the hoop?

@MelissaMuir 2 года назад

I wouldn’t. As it will deform into more of an oval. But give it a shot. It may work just fine.

@babagyoza 4 года назад

Hi, thank you for your video. When you are working the metal, do you have to stop and anneal during the process? Thanks!

@MelissaMuir 4 года назад

Good Question. Only if you see that the metal is not responding the way would you like it too. If it isn't curving well and you are getting ridges and ripples, then it might be a good idea to anneal it.

@vanessakremer8879 3 года назад

What is this technique called? I would like a more curved in dome to the hoops. How can that be accomplished? Would dapping tools be helpful?

@MelissaMuir 3 года назад

I call it hammer forming. You could use a dapping set. You could also use different hammers to get the desired effect.

@gerileewhite3590 6 лет назад

I am curious which fretz hammer you are using? The silversmith or the 1.2 ounce or the 2.5 ounce ? Love the video

@MelissaMuir 6 лет назад

I believe it is the 2.5 oz hammer. It is not the precision smith line. It is the jewelry hammer, not the one for doing larger pieces. There are three sizes of hammers, it is the middle one. I hope that helps.

@Earthgnomie 4 года назад

I've seen in other tutorials people suggest quenching the silver as soon as it's annealed... but this doesn't seem to be the case after all?

@MelissaMuir 4 года назад

Wyvernwyrm no. You never want to quench right away. It will have a thermal shock causing the metal to become brittle.

@TheTaliswoman 11 месяцев назад

Is it ok to re anneal part way through .. using silver and its become quite hard and stopped forming

@MelissaMuir 11 месяцев назад

Yes.

@mdhondt1703 4 года назад

Melissa, how deep is your divit in the wood?

@MelissaMuir 4 года назад

M Dhondt I will have to see if I can find that particular block again. But it isn’t ty deep. Maybe a few millimeters.

@Conkl001 4 года назад

I am just starting this project and am confused about the gauge of metal to use. In the video, you say it should be about 0.4mm but the book suggests 0.6 mm. These are quite different - anybody have suggestions re the difference?

@MelissaMuir 4 года назад

Kathleen Conklin if ever there is a question, go by the book. Sometimes I do make mistakes and this seems to be one of them. It’s funny, a lot of times in my head I say the right thing but my mouth says something completely different, yet my ears heard what was in my head. 🤷‍♀️

@johnc7833 4 года назад

I noticed you went back and forth with the needle files, isn’t that bad for them? I thought files cut in only one direction.

@MelissaMuir 4 года назад

These metals are so soft that it isn’t an issue. I would never do that with steel. When I pull back, there isn’t much pressure, it is more to keep it as a guide.

@lizmathyssen6462 5 лет назад

Hi, I made these, but trying to put them on is very nearly impossible! Have you any tips thank in advance

@MelissaMuir 5 лет назад

Some people have had a hard time with that and have changed the shape of the ear post. I open them up by inserting my thumb and index finger and spreading them apart to open the earring. It works for me, but I guess not everyone can do that.
