Wow... thank you so much for this video and providing the list. I have everything that you mention except the stones settings and burs. Very informative video.😊👍👍.

[@GomeowCreations]

Chain is a very time-consuming thing to make but it's a good thing to learn. Hey is a tool that he might find very handy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opqpZmtuZt2FZrM it makes and cuts jump rings really fast. As for making the Cuban chain you need a mounted vice to get that nice twist and to make them flat you need to file them down. You can get a flat board and screw it down to it and clamp or bolt it down to your work bench. This way you can file it without it moving around. 😁👍

[@elcuy7518]

This video is so insanely useful and is something that other jewelry creators on youtube have not done. At least as concisely. Thanks man!

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem

[@Babette17C]

Holy Moley! What a long list of materials... it's impressive that you took so much time to help us with all these links! Thank you. Thank you. You're really some kind of wonderful.

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem and I'm just trying to be helpful because I know it's hard to find tools if you don't know what they are called. 😊👍

[@KC9RXP]

I always asumed a flex shaft was out of reach for me. Thanks for the heads up on this one.

[@jimbettridge3123]

Hi Randy! Thanks, gonna share this to my group! Tip, go to the hardware store's plumbing section and you will find cast flanges that will accept threaded black "water" pipe that comes in various lengths and choose one that is close to the height of your flexshaft motor hanger, bolt the flange to your bench, thread the pipe in and voila! A very sturdy stand for your motor!

[@annh3599]

Thanks! As a beginner this was very helpful. Happy to say I have purchased 95% of these tools already. Very encouraging. I worry about needing a rolling mill, hydrolic press, & other large equipment I see my friends using.

[@GinaVaccaro]

Thank you so much for linking every single item!!! It's very much appreciated as I get started on this adventure!

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem 😊👍. If anything is missing or no longer available let me know so I can fix it and point you to the right item

[@scottbenson8105]

Thanks for making this video it’s especially useful for people like me I’m just getting started. And now you’ve made it a lot less overwhelming, 👍👍

Thanks dude other youtubers have not done this I really need it thanks once more

Thanks a lot. It's a chore to find this information. Most channels have this information in little bits all over the place. And of course, they don't explain nearly as well as you. P.S. love the name.

[@trejayne]

Thank you so much for making these videos! Extremely helpful

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem, I'm happy to help 😁👍

[@shaipw]

Loved the video. You break things down thoroughly but still make it so simple. Keep up the good work.

[@GomeowCreations]

Thank you for watching! 😀👍 I'm happy I was able to make all that info clear. I know it was a lot of stuff to go over for one video.

I like how honesty you are we your public, all your advices was always taking me to a great path. Please keep up your amazing work, there is a lot of people who feel good with you around. Congratulations for your beautiful piece of work.

I realize this is fairly old posting, but I've found it to be very informative and helpful. Thank you!!

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah it is very old now but I still have a lot of the tools in this video haha. Check out my website and you can find a full list of all the tools I use 😄👍

[@clarewillison9379]

Very clear and useful guide. To keep moisture from rusting steel dapping tools have you thought of upending them in a bowl/box of rice? Might not look as cool as the wood form but could save you time better spent on creating...?

[@GomeowCreations]

Haha yeah the rust on my tools... This was due to me having to keep it all outside and it got rained on. Now I have everything inside so it's no longer a problem 😁. But thanks for the suggestions.

[@nixgamx4086]

And I appreciate that you linked everything

[@moetoknow2181]

How about rolling mill for wires ? Do you have another method since it's the most expensive. It's one of the best videos for beginners. Thanks for taking the time of making it.

[@GomeowCreations]

You can't really get around a roller mill well other than just buying wire and sheet metal. I do have a roller mill but It is one of the cheapest ones that I can get my hands on. This is the one that I have amzn.to/2O9NGeP 😀

[@damok9999]

That's the same one I use. Have made 100s of feet of band material, sheet and square wires. But never round wire, easier to buy. I've even broken the dies and still it works, takes lots of practice and effort. But i wasn't going to buy material since i have the silver already.

[@peterdeans4635]

Thankyou for taking the time to make this video. I'm sure just like myself people will save time and precious rollers knowing what is really neededrather than a must have tool not because it's needed but because it's just wanted . I think this was one of a very few videos that took time to help I'm subbed cheers🤪

[@GomeowCreations]

😁

[@NicoleLisaGreen]

Thanks Randy for all the links. That must have taken a good while & I appreciate it. I have used several of them to fill my cart.

[@adrothemix3r725]

On the smiths torch is it only compatible with the oxygen acetylene tanks?

[@GomeowCreations]

You can use it will propane and oxygen as well but you have to look into what tips you can use with it

[@adrothemix3r725]

[@jonjensen4514]

Pro tip with the mandrill is to avoid hammering the ring over those ring size markings, always hammer to the side of them at it’ll last a lot longer

[@mzjazz5737]

I am subscribed to your site and would like to know if you have any videos an learning how to solder using the propane and mapp gas tanks and the difference of the metals and gauges? I use map gas for lamp working and wanting to learn soldering for making silver jewelry. You are good and i like to listen to you videos, Thank you!

[@GomeowCreations]

I don't think I have many videos using propane and I don't have map gas but I was thinking of doing a video using tools you can get at your local hardware store and show how to use them.

Hello sir I in to diamond manufacturing but in recent months I have been thinking a lot of getting in to jewelry making too.. But I want to know whether should I get some training first or should I start by learning myself watching videos and give it try after purchasing this tools!!!

[@GomeowCreations]

Hey! So that is going to really be up to you see you would know best in regards to how you learn best. I would do a little of both if you have the cash to pay for training. I like the freedom to just try some stuff out on my own. 😁👍

[@DontAskHowIGotIt]

I like the shell casing on the solder pik

[@GomeowCreations]

Haha thanks, you are the first person to point that out 😁

[@ramonlarson6806]

Hey!!! Do you think a beginner starting out would need all these things except for the expensive torch?

[@GomeowCreations]

So it really depends on what you are making to start. For example if you are just doing simple rings you will only need some basic tools from this list. I do suggest getting something better than a small food torch.

[@ramonlarson6806]

@@GomeowCreations thanks! I already have a propane tank with a torch attachment thingy hopefully that will work. I want to start off with just some metal rings and maybe chainlinks, would love to get into silver/gold/platinum as a side hobby/business but might be a while for that lol

[@GomeowCreations]

Oh ok that should would for now and you can do the same things with silver and gold. I suggest working with copper is you don't want to put much money into this and get some skills down. After that get some silver, it's not too expensive really, and if you are selling it you will make back your money plus some profit. Gold is not something I really work with seeing that the cost is so crazy high. I only work with gold when a customer wants it and they understand the price. I don't suggest using Platinum, you need a hydrogen torch to work with it and it's a very hard metal along with being very expensive.

[@Sierrarosemorton]

Hi! Could you make a video on how to buy silver? It's a little confusing on rio grande

[@GomeowCreations]

What part of it is confusing?

[@damok9999]

I like the dowels that's something i can use. I usually end up using my bench pin as a dowel hah good idea. After the other grits, you can go from green radial (1000) to gray (2000) then just some regular silver polish like blitz with a fine soft towel and water, gives you mirror like surfaces and skips compounds and buffers all while cleaning the pieces (i use an electric tooth brush to final rinse). I stack the radials brush discs three deep usually too.

[@GomeowCreations]

Well I'll have to look into getting some 2000 and try that out. 😀👍

[@smalcstein]

Great video! Are there any benefits of using oxyacytelene instead of propane burners, apart for faster heating times ?

[@GomeowCreations]

Thank you! With the smith's little torch you can heat smaller areas with a lot more heat so I fell like I have a lot more control over heating the piece and making the solder flow. One other thing I like to do is fuse silver jump rings closed so I don't have to use any solder and it can make metal balls in seconds. 😀👍

[@jr6786]

Thank you for this! Much appreciated!

[@GomeowCreations]

No problem 😊

[@mzjazz5737]

This torch head you have listed " BernzOmatic Basic Use UL2317 Brass Pencil Flame Propane Torch Head " can it be used on a mapp canister ( Yellow )? Thank you!

[@GomeowCreations]

You can but I wouldn't do that though, the air and gas mixture will not be right and make a lot of smoke.

Thanks, I suddenly realised I did not have a tripod, and visiting my old workshop (I'm divorced, so whilst visiting my children I can spend an hour or so in the workshop) I just forged one. So, great idea, thanks.

[@lynnmoore2984]

I also have an oxygen and acetylene set up with my smiths mini torch. When lighting the torch the acetylene puts out soot before adding the oxygen. Do you have this problem? If not, what do you use to alleviate all the soot? Thank you!

[@GomeowCreations]

Yeah soot is a common thing but for the most part if you have good ventilation this isn't really a problem. If you work next to a window but get a window fan and have it blowing out so it sucks all the soot out.

Have you ever used ProtectaClear? Did you like it? Or do you still prefer Permalac?

From where I got all these jewellery making tools in India

[@GomeowCreations]

sorry but i dont know 😅

[@argentummoonjewellery3503]

Why do you choose oxy-acetylene over oxy-propane, seeing that propane is a cleaner fuel?

[@GomeowCreations]

At the time I got the oxy-acetylene due to it's higher temps. I could have really gone ether way and I still can always get a propane tank in the future if I want to give that a try. I just got a full set up for lost wax casting so the extra heat will come in handy.

[@garywishart7715]

Excellent video's dude, but can you stop calling solder sodder, there's an l in it, a sodder is a bloke who likes to put a part of his anatomy up a part of another blokes anatomy. It's pronounced SOL -DER.

[@GomeowCreations]

Thanks and no. That is how it is pronounced with an American accent. I have got a lot of comments about this over the years and it looks like we drop the L sound in a lot of words and it's just how it is. 👍
