A Jeweller's Workshop |

You asked to see my workshop and here it is! We don't just say that we are guided by what you want to see, we are! We hope you find some value in something in this video.
A workshop is a very personal thing, created as an extension of one's process and, it makes sense that, it varies depending on the kind of work you're doing. It makes sense for me in many ways and I love how it's constantly EVOLVING and developing character.
This is the workshop I've recently put together for our new RETAIL STORE in Henley-on-Thames. It's called 'JEWELLERY WORKS' and we're very proud to share that we have opened our doors, for the first time, last week.
We've been incredibly busy! Setting up, planning and putting our love into the shop and although the doors are open, the work is very much just beginning.
So, we hope this video is well received, Damia is juggling many tasks but our commitment to bringing you weekly, informative - jewellery making videos is strong as ever.

Do you have any questions about this set-up or suggestions for the next video? You know, we'd love to hear from you! Thank you for watching and, as usual, we'll see you NEXT WEEK with another video.
Have a great evening!
Jaco & Damia

You must be the tidiest jeweller I’ve seen, my bench is like a war zone ! You’ve inspired me to have a tidy up today and get a bit more organised. Great video

[@jacothejeweller]

I’m glad you liked it. Yes, I just function better in a clean space. Enjoy the cleanup and thanks for the compliment 🙏🏻

[@polosandoval]

Love the hammer rack - beautiful shop space

[@jacothejeweller]

The rack cleared a little of space for me. Thanks for that.

[@JustME-ft4di]

Fab space.

[@jacothejeweller]

Thanks

[@Aerodauphin]

Do a video on the Lindsey graver please. I’m getting ready to purchase one and I would like to know what you have for a set up. Thanks J.

[@jacothejeweller]

I will, but go ahead and get it. They are great 👌🏻

[@micaelasiljeur3145]

[@jacothejeweller]

[@marcoantoniovento6347]

Thanks for sharing, we will shortly be moving into a new space and your tips will be very useful. Greetings from Portugal

[@jacothejeweller]

Portugal is such a lovely country. I’ll be moving my workshop there one day 👌🏻

[@leothomasjohnson6698]

I would like more, but I can’t afFordom made me giggle 😂

[@The_circular_square]

Love it! You’re motivating me to make upgrades to my shop!

[@jacothejeweller]

I’m glad you liked it - it was a lot of fun putting it together.

[@matannawi9777]

Man, I really would like to know more about the Lindsy air graver, I've been eyeing it for months!

[@jacothejeweller]

Okay, definitely looks like we need to talk about it 👍🏻

[@jacothejeweller]

We made a mistake and put 'THE END' instead of 'THE BENCH' at 4:18 ... 😅

[@emy_themua2015]

Ohh this is so fancy and amazing, I also love that you modified so much yourself I was luck to have my neighbour who’s a carpenter build my bench but my proudest part I did myself I build a little hanging rack for my pendant motor just the actual pen that you use to engrave etc so that theres never any stress on the shaft so it will last longer, I was proud of that 😂 thank for showing us this guys, much love 💗

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

I’d love to see how you use the various tapes in polishing. Nice shop.

[@jacothejeweller]

🙏🏻

[@anniepoulton8501]

Yes can you do a video on gravers,sharpening and using please

[@jacothejeweller]

Will do 👍🏻

[@barrenfields]

I would love to see more on engraving tools (maybe you could say something about EnSet/GRS/Foredom PowerGraver gravers if you have any opinions on them). Also the benchmate system is interesting! Is it worth investing in the long run? (It seems so 😅). Love your videos! ❤ Thank you so much for all the work to provide us newbies with useful info!

[@jacothejeweller]

@@barrenfields we will talk more about the gravers for sure 👍🏻 and as for the benchmate system, definitely go for it. It changes everything for the better.

[@aropals672]

Great space and such a functional set up! I love it and you did a great job!!

[@jacothejeweller]

Thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@pepmeto94]

Really good placee, amazing tools etc.. but one question, me, i'm changing my workshop to another place because i don't have windows, don't you have?? And if you don't have its a problom for you??

[@jacothejeweller]

Windows are great and you can’t beat natural light - I would prefer it too but as long as I’ve got good light around I’m good to go.

[@pepmeto94]

@@jacothejewelleryeahh okeii, thaanks!

[@michael_jones]

Great video and awesome workshop! What are the safety rules when it comes to keeping propane and acetylene tanks indoors?

[@jacothejeweller]

Good question and also a good video idea actually - are you referring to the UK? We are just opening up and still going through a few changes so I will have to get to you on this. It’s been a mad time.

[@michael_jones]

Yes, UK!
