What an amazing tutorial on making a bezel setting with a cable or rope design! The presenter's attention to detail and skilled craftsmanship were truly impressive. I loved watching the process of transforming raw materials into a beautiful and intricate bezel setting.

Great very helpful video! I think Rio needs to give you a little commission for all those plugs you gave them!

I’m green with envy over your workshop! Some day!

[@amberhohman829]

Thanks for the demo John, never seen anyone file the rope into the backplate. Also, your polishing setup is the most awesome one I have ever seen, wish I could come and work for you there!

[@michaelirvin2415]

John, I love your videos, I'm just a 71yo beginner and you have helped me move forward with all the basics. I watch all your presentations several times. Thanks so much for sharing your years of experience. Mike

[@KayGasnerKGDESIGNS]

Very nice, beautiful job. Thank you ;-)

[@barbarabriggsdesigns]

Thank you! I have some twisted wire for decorative bezels and your video is so helpful re: how to solder a beautiful piece using it!

[@elisawithington5991]

Very helpful video. Thank you very much for teaching me😘 Elisa/Ca

[@artistcg]

This was great, I appreciate your slow and thorough manner of speech to describe the process so that it's easy to follow along. The added touch of filing the base to merge with the twisted wire is awesome! I see the links for the videos that preceded this one, but not for the ring shank to complete the cabochon ring. I'd like to watch it too. :)

[@donlaroque8028]

I’ve used Rio-Grande equipment since 98’ still do, appreciate the demonstration and mentioning Rio jewelry supply

[@LeTrashPanda]

Beautiful, clean work....I really appreciate the detailed filing & tips. I learned a few things & am a GIA trained Bench jeweler....Rio Grande rocks, no question. Inspiring vid, thank you!

[@brianszymanski2971]

Enjoy your craftsmanship and the easy explanations of your craft. Makes one want to try to build something awesome,thanks and have a great day.

[@larryrickmann3326]

You do really nice work my friend!

[@MJ-nr8ev]

I have scoured the net looking for straightforward info on silversmithing and your tutorials are ON PAR with the books! Its one thing to read the techniques, but to see them being done by an obvious professional makes a world of difference in the learning.. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...

[@wylenezopfi7827]

I chose this video to watch the twisted wire application- but your knowledge and description had me hooked till the end! I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to go thru all your videos!

[@Ca110fDutyGirl]

I cannot wait to try my hand at this! Your videos will definitely be a great help! I wish I could learn behind you, I do better training hands on. Also thank you for showing specific tools and places where they can be found!

[@lizsteel6745]

super lindo, Graciassssss bendiciones para usted

[@laurenseidler4512]

Thanks so much for this wonderful video. Great tips and techniques I can use. Going to buy myself a belt sander from Harbor Freight! Looking forward to your other videos.

[@liz-annawaugh955]

Thank you! I like you!

[@barbarchibald6255]

From Michigan and wondering what I'm going to do with my tumbled rocks! Lol This is such an informative tutorial! Having worked as a dental tech in the 80's I'm aware of key factors you discuss. Will look forward to more of your videos

[@i_love_shiny_things]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make such wonderful silversmithing tutorials, I'm just starting to learn all the theory to get me prepared to start my silver jewelry making journey! I've been laser cutting for a few years, but now I want to start making fine pieces .. I can't wait to watch all your videos! Thanks again, Donna (from the UK) xx

[@BlueLineofthesky]

You are a special person. Amazing teacher. I love the video and I thank you for your generosity to show all these details for free. God bless you and your family and of course your team.

[@DurangoSilver]

Wow. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. We will continue to put up free educational videos.

[@jamesfarley4759]

I love your work! My wife and I started about 6 months ago and we're having a blast.

[@michiganprospectors]

Watching your videos and learning how to solder silver for jewelry. I have been gathering up mineral and ore samples last year from the mines. Hope to start making jewelry this year.

[@alebows]

What a beautiful video! You explained so many things in such an easy way! I learning so much with you! Thank you so much!

[@lawrencefontenot6835]

[@blozom2022]

That was so neat, love the finished look! Can't wait to try it for myself.

[@jeffreybecker7020]

All your tutorials are hands down the best I have ever seen and I have seen zillions! Thank you.

[@DurangoSilver]

Thank you so much Jeffrey. We really appreciate it.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Never knew about pickling castings

[@harmonylavenderfarmopenbya4576]

Hi John, just wanted to say Thank You for THE BEST TUTORIAL SERIES I HAVE EVER WATCHED. Also that is a gorgeous forged jeweler saw may I ask where it is from?

[@toddraisch5299]

Your experience shows, I really appreciate your help and I'm wondering exactly what torch handle and tips for soldering and casting please include what gas mixture. ? Thanks again Todd

[@lapidarydave]

Fantastic! I have had my wire slip out of my drill in the past 🙀you guys make it look easy

[@JohnHartmanDurango]

make sure your drill chuck closes tight, also you can fold the wire over to double up.

[@lapidarydave]

Thank you so much for the reply mr. Hartman it's really a pleasure you and Dillon are fantastic and I always look forward to your new videos thank you so much

[@michelleknight7362]

Yes I was on Rio Grande and your video came up too.. But I had already watched you teach and you do a awesome job. I’m a self taught metalsmith... There is so many ways to do the same thing. But I know I’m going to have to get out of my comforter zone to become better.. So far I have been only working with tube silver soldering paste easy, medium, hard. But I really enjoyed learning how to use wire solder and silver chips.. And thank you for mentioning the tools and their names and where you get them. I live a lone now because I lost my 26 year old son 3 years ago September 22, 2017.. I thought he had a lot of tools but my son would be so proud of me.. Anyway, I’m going to start watching more of your videos. Thank you so much 😊

[@ruthdederich3622]

So very sorry you lost your child. Best wishes to you now.

[@Kera.S.]

Also, do you have a solder starter set you suggest for beginners. I'm new to jewelry making and definitely like the metal aspect of it more than the bead weaving side of this creative outlet. I started with chainmaille to wire wrapping then to how jewelry is actually constructed from melt, to final piece. I'd settle for starting with soldering and you are the 1st person who has actually made sense when explaining it! Thank you so much for your help 💙

[@SpAsthmaticShef]

Hi John I'm a new subscriber and I absolutely love your channel. I was glued to my phone. You are like the Bob Ross of jewlery making. John how do you get your wire in your drill. Thank you for making these videos

[@bellashealingartistry8934]

Thank you so much! Subbie here!

[@dmfclay]

Love your tutorials! Can you tell me about the crystal cooling block? Where would I find one? THanks!

[@SmokeyQuartz]

Learned so much with this vid! Could you please let me know what grit you are using on the belt sander please.

[@JayKay-fg6dc]

John, FANTASTIC! What grit do you use in your 42" x 1" belt sander there? I couldn't believe how fast it was for you to sand the edges, then buff it, and done (after polish, of course). I've spent hours manually filing down a pendent and 2 earing edges. Thank you!

[@joannefunk8917]

My husband started drooling over your anvil when I showed him lol. I also would like to know what kind of material you are doing the soldering on please? Thanks

[@larrymoremckenzie3029]

John,please do a tutorial on adding half round or triangle wire around the bezel,please,if u would!

[@c.wanchai]

👍👍👍💥

[@nikkifrance100]

very professinal, how you finished the rope twist at the end

[@belindaczerkowicz5465]

Thank you for this video! What is the brand of the cutters you used?

[@shelbyrokus4694]

John excellent advice. What brush/wheel are you using when you’re taking all of the fine scratches out of your hand filed rope boarder? Is there a brand and product you recommend?

[@heatherwilson9187]

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

[@paigedamman5376]

Hi, What was the product you used to stop the solder from flowing? I want to solder a jump ring onto a pre-wired rose quarts stone. Great video!
