[@amandadoverspike2949]

I would be LOST without your videos. You are an angel! Thank you.

[@adinastewart4636]

Thank you! This was a great tutorial for a beginner, I really enjoyed it & can’t wait to have a go with this technique. Please do make some more metal work videos!

[@rosegaither]

Thank you. More metal tuts please. Love your tutorials

[@tauraslady]

You are good teacher. I watched you you tube videos and tv program. Learn every time I see you.

[@flyingsquirrel5213]

So happy I found this! I haven't worked with metal sheet yet but would love to incorporate handmade metal pieces/charms into jewelry - would definitely be more comfortable trying it out with shears rather than a saw first.🙂 I hope to try these materials out soon - thank you!

[@ascholz6638]

Fantastic demo! More metal tutorials for me too! Can you tell us when to use a wooden doming block vs. a metal one? Thanks!

[@joycehinds7440]

The most helpful episode I have seen! Thanks Susan! I'm new to the craft.

[@janpeterson21]

Love these! Trying this weekend!

[@jennygurubatham3777]

It’s beautiful easy tutorial, thanks for sharing.

[@nancymulkey6491]

Susan, you’re a great teacher. Like when you said to cut the metal sheet on the outside of the line, makes it it so much more clear for me. Love to watch your tutorials, thank you for sharing your talents! Have a wonderful New Year!

[@nenitamoore9531]

Thank you so much for sharing this . I love working with wires, I just learned some basics design by twisting my wire here and there.😁

[@angelinabrown6839]

Susan, you are AWESOME. Love, love, love all your videos....!!!!

[@Eileen-nv6dd]

Thank you. This is so cool. Loved it. Yes please more wire vids please Susan.

[@katielong902]

Thank you! Love all of your videos, they are super clear to understand and you do a great job introducing new tools and techniques.

Hi I really love this video and I want to add components like this in my jewelry making. Where did you purchase your stencils?

Excellent!! I looove mixing metals!

[@kimberie]

Love the metal video and you teaching about it! You're a great instructor! Thank you!

[@deborahsimonson5844]

Thank you for your wonderful video's. I don't see that you posted the kind of sheers you used, and can't find anything that looks like these on line. Everything is big and heavy looking. The one's my husband has are to hard for me to use.

Unfortunately we don't carry these anymore, but they are made my Beadsmith if that helps! A quick internet search will find you some!

[@ninamcrae7295]

The oxidation liquid is called Liver of Sulfur . Check out Rio Grande Jewelry Supply ,or google any other jewelry supplier.

[@JewelSchool]

Hi Bee! The liquid is liver of Sulphur (can be purchased here, www.jtv.com/product/finishing-kit-incl-buffing-blocks-liver-of-sulfer-gel-protectaclear-spray/JMKIT591).

[@mult1coloured]

Would aluminium metal be suitable for this? Would it be too thin/soft?

[@susane945]

Fabulous tutorial. Thanks Susan. 😊🌈🌸💖

[@FoxySparkles]

Love this! What shears do you recommend for cutting the metals? I have everything else due to my jewelry/resin/polymer clay work, but do not have the shears :) thanks again!

[@JewelSchool]

The ones used in the video are made by Eurotool. They are great!

[@donitafichter8298]

Hello! You likely won’t answer this since the video was made long ago but I just came across it and I’m wondering about the patina on the copper. Will it come off one a persons clothing or skin while wearing?

[@JewelSchool]

As you probably already know, patina is when copper turns green over a long period of time due to oxidation. This is a surface condition, meaning once cleaned, it shines it up like new. Most people love the patina that happens over time (the best example is the Statue of Liberty) and choose to keep it once it occurs. Raw copper that is used in jewelry can have the tendency to turn your skin green. You can do one of two things. Should you choose to keep the patina that has occurred on a piece of copper jewelry, you can coat it with an acrylic sealer (assuming it doesn't have ANY natural gemstones set it in it - you don't want to spray those with a sealer) to keep the patina in place and protect your skin. Two, you can clean it up with tepid water and a mild soap every so often, then give it a quick buff to keep it looking nice. There is a third option, which is to spray the "all metal" copper base of the jewelry with acrylic sealer before adding any stones. This will help stop oxidation and keep your fingers from turning green, if this type of metal does that to you. Hope this helps!

[@donitafichter8298]

[@elsacastillo9855]

One question :Where I can buy this tools for working metals?

[@jayrox4464]

Two questions: (1) What is the size of your bench block? (2) If I only want to buy one hole punch which size would be more useful, a 1.25mm or 1.5 mm? Many thanks! Love your videos! I have saved so many that it is going to take me months to complete all the projects. A very nice problem to have. 😁

[@DebyNieto-kq2ci]

You do not tell the number of file. When you first hook the wire that you cut you waste so much wire. You do not tell which direction to use the flush cutters to cut the ear wires that you are using and the gauge for the ear wires, and sandpaper or file the ends of the wires so they do not cut your ears when putting them in !! Make it safe !!!!!!!!

[@ninamcrae7295]

@Deby Nieto Not quite sure why your calling me SNIDE , I added a smiley just to let you know it was not meant to be rude.I just figured that since SHE wasnt answering any questions (as it seems) That maybe you could share your abundant knowledge on this subject so others who read the comments could learn from your experience.As well as you telling her what she seemed to leave out of her video.

[@DebyNieto-kq2ci]

@@ninamcrae7295 Sorry honey, my mistake..with the quotations around the word class and I took the laughing face differently. If you cut the very end of your wire that you are making ear wires for with a flush cutter the cutter should have the flat / flush side towards the end not the outer side as the result will give you a very sharp jagged cut..practice on a piece of wire first. The end of your earring wire should be a neat flat cut then it can be filed smoothly removing any burrs by using a small fine diamond file or even fingernail file .,there are even concave cup burrs , you can find these on Ebay pretty cheap. The wire gauge you can use for ear wires is usually 20 gauge but you could use 18 for a slightly thicker ear wire or 21 - 22 for very small ear holes as long as you strengthen the ear wire on a steel block with light hammering when the ear wire is done. Sorry about the mis- understanding.
