Flush Setting Faceted Stones

[@stormyeffects4795]

I love your attitude. You have just enough of a sense of humor to keep the video entertaining while not obstructing the learning

[@rosemaryprice7431]

Dear Nancy , I have been working precious metals in UK for many years but there is always something new to learn ( sometimes for fun , sometimes for the ridiculous repairs and remodelling I get asked to do) You are the very best of instructors… thank you so much for your wonderfully clear and conscience videos and sharing your excellent knowledge & experience ( ie if it does this you can do that ….covering so many eventualities that only a pro would know ) Your videos are Pure Gold to any serious Jeweller or smith . You have taught me heaps , Thank you from the bottom of my ❤

[@orenishilewis2695]

Thanks for this video. I am a self taught designer of one of a kinds. I need to move up and start first by resetting some stones that I have saved for years.

[@mbzeppa]

I've been doing pewter work for a few years and am starting into harder metals. I love your videos, they're helpful and entertaining!

[@NancyHamiltonJewelry]

+Matt Z Thanks Matt!

[@maxine67torana]

Thank you very much Nancy for all the time and effort, love the humour, that you put into such informative tutorial videos. Glad I found your channel

[@Silversmith70]

I was thinking that if you ever retired, you could always put your work shop online, you have about 5 times more tools and supplies that Rio. :-) Thank you so much for posting this. I have learned so much from you and I always recommend you to others! Tommy

[@wonbadood8243]

Tommy Ward, Sell her tools? Sacrilege ;) I often wonder what will happen to my array of tools, a lot of which are self made bespoke, when I'm gone. Best not to think too much about that. She's a great inspiration and that's coming from a tinker for over 30 yrs. 41 Dislikes.? Pffhhh!

[@LionPunchForgeLPF]

You are amazing Nancy! An inspiration to me!

[@lindad5492]

As usual YOU ROCK! Thank you again! If you were in my area I would SO love to learn more from you!

[@szhcornanlim274]

Thank you Nancy. You are awesome. And I like it when you suddenly hum a tune or two... :) cheers.

[@hugoeski]

really good, clear and concise. You can also choose to make four incisions with a very pointed hardened object (that looks very similar to an engraving chisel) proportinally measured to have a steady set stone.

[@ronmaunder8662]

Wow! That was a TON of information! Entertainment that my brain will not forget! Thanks so much!

[@Sinsirink]

love ur personality

[@lindagrandstaff6256]

Nancy, I just found your videos and I love them all! You get right to the point and you always make me smile. So glad I found you on here!!!!Linda Grandstaff

[@robpetesworkshop]

[@annedarr1894]

It’s exciting to see after cataract surg. Colors

[@paulasaunamaki5050]

The most sweetest lady :D I love your video! Thank you for shearing vid and hello from Finland ;)

[@maryannpetri3230]

Awesome video! Thank you for showing me how to do this

[@falconridgedesigns]

thank you so much! loved the information and humor! you rock babe!

[@pennycraun2337]

Great video as always Nancy! I recently took a class on Flush Setting and wish I would have watched this first!

[@nancymarianik]

What a great video Nancy, very easy to understand.....you cleared all my doubt about burs and their uses, so AWESOME. Thanks a LOT !!!!!!!!!

[@DomartelloArteeamor]

Thank you for EXIST IN SHOW AND ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL WORKS. a hug ...

[@James-fs4rn]

👍 thanks for sharing! Very helpful. I have a stainless band that I want to set some 2mm çz in. I was thinking of a modified bead type setting.

[@tinarobbins6163]

Thank you for being so full of good information and laughs--really enjoyed the video!

[@Nancy4133nope]

An excellent video i learned a lot of information, thank you so much for posting this

[@leatherbyleah]

Great video thanks Nancy. The tip about the stocking over your vacuum has saved me a lot of money (and time) Regards, fellow over 40'something'

[@noelchrisjohnbenson8161]

thanks for taking the time to make this, I was hoping someone would. I have no trouble setting cabs, but for some reason a bit intimidated by the faceted stuff, but as a "native american" themed jeweler, it's hard to break out of turquoise and coral for some, I don't see whats non native about setting a nice tourmaline next to a sky blue sleeping beauty cab, and it costs alot for the DVDs from Rio Grande, thank you

[@roncaffrey5492]

Thanks for the great video.

[@101mosioatunya]

Thanks so much for this video - I've learned so much from it :-) Thanks, too, for all your good humour (see that spelling? I'm English . . . )

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

sometimes if you run the burr backwards it wont cut too much = but go slow and be careful = great video and thank you !

[@carianin5293]

So if your stone falls out......guess I cut to large. More practice needed. Thanks for this video, Nancy.

[@shirleymason7697]

Very good. Thanks forever. Cat lovers are nearly always the best people. (just as an aside)

[@morganmcgoldrickgrabiner4817]

Thank you so much for this awesome video! You are funny and informative :))

[@sarahmarie1391]

Great fun video again. Great info. Wish I could set those 2mm stones....but, that's okay. I have Macular Degeneration (yup the doc shoots me in the eyes every month) and a bit of a torn retina, so I stick with the bigger stuff. Still its an excellent video no matter the size and I learned some great new techniques. :) Thanks so much Nancy.

[@problemwithauthority]

I am all for re-purposing old tools into new tools. I have found that many of these old grinding stone mounts are chrome plated and you will need to use a bench grinder to get through the chrome. No need to ruin a good file trying to file chrome.

[@kimwhiteside21]

I like her rings!

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Excellent drmo

[@relaxnow1374]

YAY!! Finally someone who can demo a flush set without their fingers covering up the burnishing part! BRAVO!!!!! Hey Nanc.. exactly what are the polishing "points" that fit your flex shaft you showed breifly to clean up the scratch marks and where do i get them?-- Also Is it true you can set the stone with just one bur if you use a heart bur?

[@nuclearswan]

relaxnow I use the Dedeco Sunburst polishing pins, and got them from RioGrande.

[@joannefn2024]

Love your videos Nancy. I've been reading and studying about flush setting faceted stones. Your video put all the missing pieces and tips together for me. Just set my first 1.5mm cz tonight. And hey, the stone didn't fall out! I REALLY appreciate your approach which was so through. Now I need to work on making the edges more tidy. Any suggestions appreciated. You are awesome! Thanks So much!

[@silentscribes]

awesome video thank you

[@darpanlamichhane712]

How can I get those bits I can't find them in any market near neither in online..? Thank you for free teaching lesson Totally appreciate

[@lynettemasztakowski4456]

Great video. where can you find polishing pins?

[@mrsbeadsley9975]

this was so helpful. (and you are a gas to watch). Thanks!

[@texaslockpicker7123]

Awesome video!!! The only thing I would say that you should work on is getting a cam that can film in micro. So that we can see what you are doing close up.

[@kizmit6545]

Fantastic

[@phillynn79]

lmao @ 13:49 great vid :)

[@sarasaruzza5579]

Hi Nancy!thank you so much for sharing your knowledge for free.I am a beginner and self-taught and your videos are very helpful (and fun too!)I have a question about calipers : I need a digital one but I am confused, what's a fair price for a decent digital caliper?I saw a lot of them online, all similar to each other but some of them are very expensive and some are very cheap! Maybe too much to be some accurate tools.... so I need a professionist's opinion! Thanx again and cheers from Italy!

[@flyingcheff]

Nancy, where do you get that giant hunk of beeswax? Please and thank you.

[@KremenaVenkova]

great video....thank you...:)

[@idopyrotechnics]

Yeah now I can watch it :)

[@raadmirza227]

Hi, is the stone zircon or diamond ? cause when i use flush set pressing around the stone becomes scritch on the zircon .. i do not have diamond only zircon and moissanit .

[@crystalfabulous]

Thanks so much. I love you sweet master

[@pamsimerly7547]

HA HA HA does the cat fur help hold the stone? Thank you for the awesome tutorial. It's greatly appreciated!

[@Morganrcb1]

Thanks for the laugh. I wasn't expecting that.

[@chilotiko313]

Thanks a lot for the video !! But wat can we do if the stone is oval??? Please, please!! Thanks in advanse!!

[@jacksikora4623]

Do you know why when I do this the drill bit either stoops the drill spin or when I go faster it just scratches and bounces even when I use a proper vice to hold it still sometimes when it does the hole it almost jams the thing. I use a dremal 3000

[@shelliethompson6506]

PLEASE advise what size or type of bur set would be good to get started? Is there a general set? So many options and very expensive as you said.

[@carollacroix8002]

Dear Nancy :-)....do you have a brand recommendation for burs, drill bits, etc.??? Because I want to try this asap but am overwhelmed with choices. Many thanks...Carol LaCroix

[@djinman1837]

I did it! I got snap! Yay!!

[@djinman1837]

P.s. Who is that lady with the hat! Snap!! Thank you, Nancy! I'll look for the upcoming vid with hart burs. Cheers!

[@TheArtisanTouch]

Ty very much

[@Dazzledust22]

Can you do this Type of setting without drilling all the way through the metal?

[@haririalaa6487]

great..!
