[@dalia3745]

I was just wondering if you had ever done gold nails lol! Awesome vid!

[@StonedMetal]

I figured I should make a video while making my first ones! thank you!

[@Mononoken]

You are an absolute G for sharing your process and not gatekeeping your work. I plan to have my artsy partner make us a set of silver ones. Hoping it goes well 🤞🏽 what’s your current process if you don’t want to make the dyes, and are not too worried about losing a bit of silver?

[@StonedMetal]

It shouldnt make me a G it should just be normal! The next video I make I will go over that. I literally just use the harbor freight dome dap set and the same two hammers along with the little blue pliers. Oh and the ring bender!

[@Mononoken]

@ hell yeah!! Can’t wait for the video!

[@StonedMetal]

[@JSloan7777]

It’s hard to believe you’ve never worked with gold, but ig all that self teaching pays off big!! Keep it up brother ❤

[@StonedMetal]

I appreciate it! stoked they turned out so good.

[@JSloan7777]

For real, i’ve been following you for a minute so i’ve seen a lot of stuff i love from you. My goal is to get a full set from you one day 🖤🙏

[@StonedMetal]

@@JSloan7777 thanks for the support! This is the best community 🤘

[@taylinajeffers6271]

I've followed your Instagram for a lil while now but only just was aware of your YT and let me just say this video is mesmerizing!! I have so many questions, but just wanted to say: wow! You are such an incredible artist !! Looking forward to following your journey and I absolutely can't wait to get my own! 👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@StonedMetal]

Thank you so much for coming to support what im doing! who knows, if I make videos that accomplish my vision, maybe youll end up making your own instead needing me to make you some ;]

[@ericroberts101]

That bench pin setup looks very useful(about 2 minutes), I know the actual pin and clamp are Knew Concepts, but I've not seen that extender and catch tray! Can you share any information on it?

[@StonedMetal]

The extender is the Slide and Lock by GRS. That and the catch tray are on the Rio Grande website which is where I got the slide. But I found the catch tray on amazon for a couple bucks cheaper. I think good keywords to search would be "dust collection for jeweler".

[@carinasouris]

I am also trying to find the catch tray. Is there anyway you would post a link?

[@Vincifer]

What press/rubber are you using? Thats a great forming set up! If I had all the money I want the tiny forming stake set from Fretz hahaha

[@Vincifer]

Also as someone who used to do jewelry then fell away from it- your process makes me so happy. Its really inspired me to get my craft area set back up and I actually got my old tools out to start working on some copper roses again. So thanks!

[@StonedMetal]

@@Vincifer awesome! Chase it! The rubber is a urethane puck I got from Rio Grande 🫡

[@christinalove2482]

♥️🔥⚜️

[@StonedMetal]

❤‍🔥

[@motion-trash_]

this is amazing to look at!:) how much do you charge per nail (silver/ no engraving)?

[@StonedMetal]

It all depends! For a basic silver nail its $150 per nail at the current pricing with a 20% discount if you get a set of 10. If you check out my website there is info on pricing, options, and process. [e-mail] =]

[@alecwienczkowski967]

These are killer! What gauge of sterling silver do you use for the nails?

[@StonedMetal]

I use 20gauge but it thins out just alittle as I work it 🕺

[@Mononoken]

What hardness 20 gauge silver are you using? Dead soft? Soft?

[@StonedMetal]

Dead soft, rio grande 💅

[@tayoh4026]

When will the shop be back open?

[@StonedMetal]

Im working as fast as I can to get through my current batch of orders but there is a newsletter on my website for folks who want to be ahead of the game! last time I completely sold out in 12 minutes! stonedmetalnails.com

[@jennaschultz3065]

How do you get the nails to stay in the jewelry box?

[@StonedMetal]

I use a piece of foam that holds them down tight so the presentation is good when thy show up to their new owners!

[@MultiSWAG007]

Awesome video, you inspire me. I found the video super helpful! You inspired me to make my own silver nails!

[@StonedMetal]

@@MultiSWAG007 I’m glad! Try to make a video or something if you can. More people need the same kind of encouragement and I can’t reach everyone 🙏
