Awesome JEWELRY MAKING tips and hacks! #4

[@jodyab71]

i love the baby bottle warmer, that will work great for warming up resin bottles to help eliminate bubbles

[@jasonsgems3369]

Nice tips. I use a cut down milk bottle when I have my handpiece in the bench vice and using it for polishing - catches all the dust thrown behind it instead of covering the bench. I use a slow cooker for my pickle, but the baby bottle warmer would also be great for keeping your liver of sulphur solution for patination warm for the deepest colour. Those hole punches are handy. Keep all the little divots then you can use them to texture a presoldered sheet with nice little circles.

[@celesteg9020]

LOVE the sanding disks!!!!💕💕💕

[@MountainAirOrganicBeds]

The pickle pot was my favorite, I love the hole punch too.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yes! They are both great and helped me a lot 🥰 thank you 🙏

[@alvinadesir5801]

These are invaluable tips... thankyou for sharing... oh my favourite? At least 3..4....6 😂😍... plastic dust catcher, the Tommy tippee pickler... ❤

[@fromthedarkpool1863]

Wow. I honestly didn’t think you could give us any more tips 😆 Amazing stuff Basia! Thank you for your generosity. My favourite is definitely the hole punch; total game changer!!! 🤩🤗🤘

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Right?? I love it 😍 mine is 150mm and seems perfect. Hahaha, I actually still have lots of tips saved for next few videos! 😁 Thanks so much for watching ❤️

1. Protective shield for rotary tool - so simple and brilliant! I have never thought about such solution. Thanks a million for this tip!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

isn't it! I love it too, was going to try with the small bottle first, but then figured that the larger bottle will be perfect! Happy you like it! :))

[@jasonsgems3369]

p.s. Instead of the blue tack, I've used the red wax shell off Baby Bells - goes soft when it gets warm and easily removed from detail its got stuck in with hot water

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Shiled for rotary tool handpiece? Hole punch pliers instead of drilling?? These are some of my absolute favourite tips! Which one is your favourite??

These are so awesome, love that sanding disc one especially!!

[@karin9373]

I use a crockpot for the pickle. More or less the same. Love the holepunch idea! 👍🏼

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yes, it's a great option too! I used to have it, but after it broke down, I needed a replacement. All of the available slow cookers were too big, so I decided to try hot plate. It wasn't bad, but it smelled horrible and wasn't too handy. This bottle warmer works the best so far 😃 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

[@Susanarylander]

Love the sanding discs. They were all awesome but last one the best

[@kerrischwarz7124]

Thank you for the great tips! I especially like the sanding disk.

Ooooo if you turn one of the sanding discs around you have double sided sanding discs for those hard to reach areas. I made a plastic box with room to get my hands in for when I'm cutting and polishing opals and no more ducking!

It honestly works great, doesn't it! 😊 Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@HarmonicEnigma]

Thank you for all of the great tips! :) I would love to see how you use those templates (I have never seen it done before).

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm thinking about making a tutorial where I could be using them them too 🥰 But it's very simple, you cut it out, stick in onto the metal and use it as a guide to saw out. You use the size markings to choose your desired size. And you pick appropriate template to appropriate metal gauge 😁

[@HarmonicEnigma]

Drilling was a bust for me at a looong time, then I come over a dental micro handdrill at very good price, changed my life, alomost never broke at drillbit sense that, total control even with a 0,5mm drillbit on 2-3mm deapth of drilling. That micromotor is not cheap tho if you buy it new, around 2.500$ in Sweden, but I got a used one for 150$! Normally they goes for 5-700$ used but in good shape, worth every penny even then…👍😊

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh I have to try this! I'll havce a look if I'm able to find something like this. Thank you for the recommendation! Also, I agree, used tools aren't bad and they can make a great alterantive. It's just important to do a little background check and make sure the tool is safe, other than that it's nothing less than a new one :)

A small crockpot is very good and cheap to, less plastic.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Small crock pot is great, had one before. It broke quite quickly though, so it depends on the item. This plastic bottle heater is now lasting longer than the crock pot did, so I'm quite happy with it

[@user-ox9mb7jg4n]

Metal of a crackpot gets corroded by the acid ( vinegar is acetic acid) in the pickle. Plastic will not be corroded by the acid/ vinegar. So the baby bottle warmer should last longer.

I immediately ordered some of those pliers after watching this. I don't mind drilling but that seems so much faster.

I have a question. I live in Belgium and I used to buy sometimes some supply from the UK (gemstones), but now it's terrible cos of the high costs of import taxes. How do you manage to sell your jewelry to people who don't live in the UK? It must be a lot harder right now;

[@Moongirl68]

Great tips Basia! Can you tell me the name of the metal hole punch? The link was no longer available. I wonder if I can get that brand in America?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh dear, I'll need to go through the links and refresh them. These are called hole punching pliers, they should be available on Amazon and other craft or jewelry stores. I hope you'll be able to find them!

[@msandigail]

Why do you stack multiple circles of the sandpaper? It seems wasteful to use sandpaper as backing - is there a reason that you didn't use the cutter to make matching sized cardboard backing? Or does stacking the sandpaper pieces let you just rip off the used up one on top and keep going, and you don't really need multiple pieces for backing? This hack seems so promising but I'm just a smidge away from understanding it!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I stack them for some added sturdiness, while keeping them flexible. Adding a cardboard would've made them too thick or too sturdy, and I wanted them to bend a little. Also, it helps to change them quicker, so that I don't have to waste time removing an old one and attaching a new one each time :)
