Very interesting

Hi, great video! Can you tell me what type belt to use with the belt sander, what would be appropriate for jewelry?

Thank you

The talking almost drowns out the music

Background music is too loud.

...a true historical vid. Thanks

Was thinking about you and your daughter and magically this video popped up for me to watch.

John, I never thought I would be capable of doing this. I don't know any silversmiths, or any jewelers but I got started on my own just a couple months ago. And tonight I just finished my first turquoise ring thanks to you and your awesome tips. Thank you! You are a true blessing! My journey has begun ..

John, this is the best video on KZbin in my opinion, you are a STAR. Thank you.

What kind of solder for making rings?

Beautiful piece John. I appreciate you sharing your expertise with all of us.

Thanks for the lesson in turquoise.

Where did you get your mill grain casting tool? Certainly would be handy to have but can't find one.

Clearly well explained steps for making a bezel, greatly appreciated your expertise 😊

Wowzza! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome

Best instructor ever, in metal smithing ❤

Kingman Ceremonial is my favorite. I live in Puget Sound where we have moss and underwater kelp forest ecosystems and Ceremonial Kingman looks just like that!

Way to erase the native people, colonizer stuff huh

You’re the best, I kept coming back to your site to check out whether I was right.. setting bezel around my Cabochon stone😊

Thank you so much for sharing your tips for making silversmith. Great series

I greatly appreciated watching your video, thank you. Brilliant to watch a master teaching a subject which they have vast experience and knowledge in.

Great video, informative and detailed… your tips and tricks were very helpful for me as I was just learning metalsmithing❤

Hello John, where did you purchase your spool of bezel wire used in this video? Thanks

Why did we make the other shank where did it go

Thank you

I have a lot of old pawn..torquoise

I love, love those rocks & slabs of torquoise!!❤❤❤

I never knew that across the pond you say solder without the L! Learn something new every day

Try a nail instead of a drillbit.

Great video!

You are a great teacher!! Make more videos!

You're a godsend, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

That stone is stunning!

Is Bisbee turquoise ever stabilized? Or is it hard enough so that it doesn’t have to be stabilized?

Mr.Hartman, If I may ask, I lost a centerpiece of turquois in my Navajo wrist brace. If I have a piece of Kingman, would it be doable to cut, shape and polish a piece from a lump that I have?

I like the idea of the raindrops but when I bought the casting grains, they’re different sizes I’m not completely round. What is the mill you’re talking about?

I love Navajo bracelets & rings, especially from Calvin Peterson. Great video…

Just purchased a natural turquoise on a matrix from a miner. I love to purchase natural gems especially when you know it’s authenticity is undeniable.

John you’re the best!!! I’m going to try to make this ring shank, hopefully for my next project, thanks for sharing your expertise 😊

I have a 100 lbs of no bull fine spiderweb I found if I can put a pic I’ll show u all that rock is too much trash

It has too much trash in it no good price is min

Thank you.

Great video and great info! Baby metalsmith here wondering if this technique works with pearl rings set in gold? Worried about the water/heat affecting the pearls 😬

Gr8 video
