This is a super cute chain. With the price of silver wire going through the roof I'll need to figure out the exact measurements as not to have to trim waste pieces. The nail file is genius 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@VondaInWonderland hey!! I made another one last night and 3.5” seemed to be just about perfect with a little trimming. You might even get it to 3”. Let me know how it turns out! 🤗💚✨🧡

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@VondaInWonderland and yes, silver is going crazy!

[@VondaInWonderland]

@@carriefoscatodesign I was thinking 3". It is crazy right. I'm trying to figure out a way to get it at silver cost, maybe pawn shops or gold and silver exchanges. I've been bidding on bulk silver lots on eBay and cutting things apart to solder together :/

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@ yeah, I’m sure you do too… save every single scrap. I’ve melted down my scraps into pendant shapes, but haven’t done anything with them yet.

[@VondaInWonderland]

@@carriefoscatodesign That's awesome!!!

[@lisaharner3720]

Thanks for showing your tumbler and polishing steps. I’ve been wanting a tumbler and this looks perfect! Love the link bracelet too!

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Oh fantastic! I am in love with this device! One commenter said that over time there could be cracks in the plastic, but I haven’t experienced any issues at all as of yet

[@kellyq8132]

Hi Carrie, thanks for new ideas and your creative talents. I am researching for a tumbler and I appreciate the review. I belonged to a sterling and stone club in Arizona when I used to winter there. We had a vibrating polisher and magnetic polisher. One helpful tip I can offer... you can buy drain strainers in various sizes at the dollar store. We put the smaller strainer in first and the larger strainer over top that fits flush. This prevented losing stainless shot and or jewelry pieces down the drain when straining the liquid off. Saves your shot and your plumbing 😂 Thanks again for sharing. New subscriber Kelly 😊

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Oh fantastic info!! Thanks so much! 🤗🧡✨💚

[@Gumby25D]

Haven’t been able to make anything for a while with a new puppy in the house, but having this on in the background is cathartic. Can’t wait to start making this. Very pretty.

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Oh fantastic! We almost got a kitten last night, but we didn’t make up our mind soon enough and he found a new home. That just means that are hearts still are holding a space for the right fur ball!

[@rosegaither]

Thank you for demonstrating finishing techniques. I would definitely love a tumbler!

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@rosegaither yes! Put it on your wish list!

[@rosegaither]

@@carriefoscatodesign that’s just what I did

[@consueloyoung4484]

You and I definitely think alike!!. I follow your exact path to a fantastic, professional finish to any piece I make. I figure that I have already put a lot of effort into a piece, I might as well finish it correctly and I do ‼️♥️

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Exactly! Happy creating! 😁💚✨🧡

[@birdsong63]

How does your camera automatically focus? I like that your work area and close ups of your creations make everything easy to see.❤

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Hi!! I’m using an iPhone 1080p 60fps. I could go higher to 4k but I’m always running out of storage 😂 Then once it’s recorded I put it through CapCut and I will manually pull in the shot to where I want the viewer to look. Or pan out if needs be. Nothing irritates me more when watching a video and I can’t see what they’re doing! What’s the point? 😄 Thanks for joining me! 🤗💚✨🧡

[@lillielong7426]

I love that ring with the white stone on your first finger. Could you show us how to make this ring on you right hand?

[@syfylover1]

Another Great Video. while the Vevor tumbler is a good deal if you can get one with a good lid some are made with plastic that will crack within months of using and it can damage bezels in some pieces

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@syfylover1 oh no! Well, I’m thankful I’ve had no issues, and it’s had a lot of use! Thanks for your input - I always appreciate it!🤗💚✨🧡

[@Pepperratholley]

great tutorial! The design looks like it would be fun to try! I may have missed it, but I was wondering what type of wire you’re using with the Tumblr and the Dremel? Is it solid silver or copper? Have you ever done this with a silver lacquer coated copper wire that’s in a different color? I’m thinking that the lacquer color coating layer might strip off when using that technique.

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Thank you so much! I’ve only ever used bare copper and sterling silver wire in jewelry making, so I honestly can’t say. But I lean towards your thinking; tumbling around can’t be good for any type of coating. I think I might have to get some colored wire and test it just to see. Thanks for joining me! 🤗💚✨🧡

[@Midask9]

First time visitor - thank you so much! I do want to mention that the background music is a bit distracting.

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@Midask9 oh ok! Thank you! KZbin makes it so hard to edit that. I’ll tweak it some more. 🤗🧡✨💚

[@jilllederer9628]

Hi Carrie would you recommend using the tumbler for hand made ear wires?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@jilllederer9628 I haven’t had any problems with delicate things or 20-24g items. I have not done really fine wire, but everything else has been holding up nicely! I would simply try 10-15min at first to see how things are going. Thanks for the great question!🤗💚✨🧡

[@SS-jb8wj]

Love your videos and creations. I have a question about the tumbler. Will it wash of the liver of sulpher application?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Very good question! I don’t know first hand but I would say it would be ok if you used all round shot. I use shot that is all different shapes, rods and points to get into nooks and crannies but round might kind of work like a polishing tip or steel wool. And I would only do it for 10-15 min (not the full hour+) first to see what it would do. I don’t use LOS so I don’t have a lot of experience with that 😢 Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤗💚✨🧡

[@SS-jb8wj]

@@carriefoscatodesign Thanks for that. I'll let you know the outcome. I won't know until after xmas because the tumbler is my pressie from my daughter.

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@SS-jb8wj aren’t daughters the best?! And yes! I would love to know the result!

[@hollylowery26]

To me it looks like barbed wire without the sharp pokers! 😮 I really love the look for men. I can even think of a few who need the sharp pokers left on 😂 joking of course!

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@hollylowery26 ok! Funniest comment so far of all my videos! But that is a good observation you made! 😁💚✨🧡

[@LiveByDesignNotByDefault]

Carrie, can the shot be used with copper and gemstones or crystals?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@LiveByDesignNotByDefault I have been using with those items, except crystals, so far, and have seen no damage or issues. I would just take it slow and test with 10-15 minutes on a low speed and see what happens. I’ve been very pleased so far 👍🧡✨💚

@@LiveByDesignNotByDefault hahahaha! I knew what you meant and it didn’t bother me at all! 🤣🤣💚✨🧡

[@lisafarin7770]

Does the tumbler do the same thing as using the dremel?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

In a sense, yes, but oh so much easier. But I still use the dremel for deep scratches and serious smoothing to start with 👍💚✨🧡

[@lisafarin7770]

@@carriefoscatodesign That makes sense. I have been eyeing tumblers for a while now and the one you have is on my list. It was great to see it in use, very helpful. I was also wondering about the shot and the shot that comes with these tumblers. Thanks for all the great info and all of your beautiful jewerly tutorials!!

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@lisafarin7770 awww you’re so sweet. Thank you! Yes, invest in I think it’s 403 steel. You know how Sterling is .925, well that number is specific to high grade steel. The tumbler does come with shot that works fine the few first times and then it starts to rust. The other I bought has lots of different shapes to really get in the nooks and crannies. It’s been wonderful!

[@traceyowen6136]

Is it sterling silver wire you use for the tumbler? Won't be able to tumble plated metals?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@traceyowen6136 hmmm good question. I never thought of thought of that because I’ve never used plated wire. Let me do a little research 😎

[@carriefoscatodesign]

@@traceyowen6136 ok, so it seems that you can, you just have to be super careful and limit the time. In my video, I did it for an hour. You might be only able to go 10-15 minutes. You’re going to run into the same issue if you try and sand with discs or other medium. You’ll just have to be extra careful. Let me know if I can answer any other questions. 🤗💚✨🧡

[@ldybgd]

Why do you get dead soft wire if you have to make a point to work harden it?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Good question! I like the flexibility and the workability. Is that a word? Anyway, it’s easier to manipulate the wire and then harden it. I’ve used half hard wire and it was soooo hard I couldn’t bend the wire correctly and it ended up hurting my hands

[@Turtledove72]

I use a magnetic tumbler and it’s much easier to

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Oh boy, and I gonna have to get that too? I’m a sucker for new tools! 🤣💚✨🧡
