If you're struggling to understand the attachments for the pendant rotary tool and what they're all for, I hope this video helps to clarify things! It's taken me some time to grasp it too, but now it all makes sense. There's many bits that essentially do the same job, so it takes some experimenting to see which ones will be best for your needs. And then you can build your own set and use it for different stages!

Thank you so much for making these ultra informative helpful videos! They are essential for self-taught beginners such as myself! My question is: if I have a tumbler (as well as a tumbler) do you find it’s still necessary/a good idea to get the polishing bits? I’m looking more for the best attachments for sanding & finishing work versus buffing & polishing. That said, would the first bunch you talked about be good for the sanding/finishing process? Thank you again Basia! I’m a huge fan of your content I’ve seen every one of your videos! More than once ☺️🫶🏼🙏🏼💛

@@HannahinL Not necessarily, it depends on what you would like to make! :) There are many designs you can make with a simple drawing or even without, so don't let that stop you :) The course is a great idea too, you'll learn all the basics and will feel much more confident. Good luck!

Hiya, I'm glad you've found Basia you can learn a lot from her. Watch her video on basic tools also 'At the bench' and 'Soham Harrison' for their basic tools but you can learn so much from these three silversmiths on design and technique. I started with bead jewellery and am now doing silver. Yes the tools can be in the 'Ouch' range but there are others that work without paying for a name. Watch review videos to learn what are worth your investment, also going through the supply company web sites to see the full range, budget tools are not all bad but the best are often from Germany and Switserland. The price often tells the story. Would I buy Fretz hammers? Never at their price, I've been using different hammers all my working life and flash wood is not worth a high price. Cooksongold is a very good supply house for tools and all the metals we've been on about, as I live in the UK they are the only one I've had a lot to do with. Take care and good luck...

I loooove the pumice wheels, I recently accidentally got too near the stone in my bezel (turquoise) and it grinded into it, even the fine grey pumice grinded right into it O_O was not expecting that as all the other stones that have been in contact with the pumice have been unaffected, I'm not sure if the turquoise was just very soft turquoise or if all turquoise is just too soft to be touched by them, I am not sure. Off to purchase the other silicone ones (white, black, blue, pink) tomorrow! Can't wait! Thank you once again for your videos :D
@user-ox9mb7jg4n6 ай бұрын
Turquoise is 5-6 on the mohs hardness scale. Pumice is 6-6.5 on the mohs hardness scale, so yes pumice could damage turquoise.

Hiya, in what way? Do you mean the shafts don't fit the handpiece? Quick-release handsets have a fixed, I think it's 3/32 'hole' If that is the problem you may need an H30, that's what it's called here, handset. It has a chuck like a larger power drill that you close with a key. These handsets take everything I've needed to fit, and are used in a lot of accessories made by Fordom. I hope this helps, sorry Basia didn't reply to you but the pressure of work sometimes catches up with her. Stay safe...Steve...
