Pendant motor ATTACHMENTS! My favourite accessories for flex shaft and rotary tool.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

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!

Thanks so much. Have been stuck as to what to use for what. Has helped immensely x

[@drflavorflave3536]

Thank you so much for making this video. It has helped me greatly on gathering the necessary tools I need. I'm going to make an engagement ring and wedding ring for my girlfriend that I hope to propose to within the next couple years!

“These little … thingy’s” Not to have to say “bristle “ again. You’re the cutest Basia! Love your videos!

[@amccaffrey1443]

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 ☺️🫶🏼🙏🏼💛

[@mrsmaniac]

Thank you so much for all your videos! I know most of them are older that I've been watching but they are great and i've watched a ton of videos from a lot of silversmiths because I'm trying to learn and yours are my favorites! You seem so sweet and nice LOL! Thank you from Michigan, USA

[@jades2904]

Thank you for posting this... Exactly what I was looking for in my journey of making jewelry

[@ninjadanny7261]

awesome video! would be cool to see some examples like before and after polishing or metal removal :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I wanted to make a separate video with that, because I was worried this one would get too long and too complicated :) So please stay tuned for part two, where I will show how I use these bits! :)) And thank you so much for watching 🙏

aww, that's so very sweet! Thank you so much and I'm very happy that you enjoy my videos! I hope they will be helpful 😊

[@HannahinL]

As I mentioned on Instagram already I just discovered your channel but I am so thankful I did 🙏❣️ Thank you for sharing all your experiences and thank you for helping other people developing their skills. I am in making macrame jewellery and also a bit of Electroforming but I am so interested in silversmithing but will probably start with copper pieces to practice. I will have to wait before I can buy all the tools I need but I am looking forward to it ❣️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm so happy you've found my channel Hannah! I really hope it will be helpful whenever you want to try smithing jewellery :) Although I don't have any tips regarding copper or brass metals, many techniques can be applied here as well. Good luck and thank you so much for watching and your sweet comment! 💞

[@HannahinL]

Stardust Mine Jewellery thank you for answering 🙏 I think I will start off with copper to practice before using silver and to see if I like it. I have the problem that I can't draw at all and feel it's essential for designing 😱😂 Maybe I'll take a course.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

@@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!

[@stevecoster322]

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...

[@Kindri9]

Thank you! I'm just getting started with using my flex shaft and had no idea what to use for what. So helpful. ❤

[@SamKilgannon24]

Oh wow thanks for this! Just asked if you had a video on rotary attachments in another comment then this popped up! Brilliant explanation ☺️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Awesome, thank you! I still use all of these attachments, they are my favourite! I have some small additions, but I use mostly these ones :)

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-ox9mb7jg4n]

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.

ANOTHER LIFE SAVER!! quick question, my flex shaft on my pendant motor keeps heating up, do you know why this may be and how I could resolve this

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hmm, I've never had that issues, but maybe it could be due to the lack of proper grease/oil? You could ask a shop or a manufacturer of the flex shaft about this, I think they should be able to help you. Hope you find the answer 🙏 Good luck!

[@albertpartridge6716]

great video again flower, hiya have you tried the diamond grinding bits not only do they shave of access metal but they also can give a beautiful mat finish to a piece if used carefully, I use them quite often to do that, you take care flower keep up the good work.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

yes, they are great too! :) And very useful. Thank you Albert, have a lovely weekend! :)

[@shericepotter1567]

hi Basia I love the pumice stones too. i got a kit off rio and it's amazing! same with the foredom!! I just got mine a few weeks ago and why did I wait so long?!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

sometimes it takes us some time to realise we actually do need something and that it's a good way to spend the money lol 😆 I'm always double guessing my purchases while they're not yet complete, and often I'm just like that when something arrives - why didn't I get it earlier?? hahaha

[@yeanchingchen6209]

Hello thanks for making this video, it’s really informative, I would like to ask a few rotary tools brand that you recommend for me as a beginner. Much appreciated ❤

[@mkivy]

I just found all my dads tools from his lapidary kit. Including a Fordham motor, long cable with attachment tool and still looking for all the attachments. Lucky me huh? Where do I buy a jewelers block? Amazon? I am enjoying ur instruction so much. Thank u for taking the time to explain to me. What do u keep in ur pickling solution?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

lucky you! That's awesome :) Have fun with all the tools 😀 Check my video about soldering surfaces, I believe you'll find all necessary info there: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIakm2dtlJ6Ub6M I bought mine at Cooksongold (that's in the UK). But in the US I know Amazon and Rio Grande are good places

[@mkivy]

Stardust Mine Jewellery thank u...I’ve checked out Amazon and ordered some of the pieces u suggested. I will send pictures of my soldered jump rings for ur observation and critique. I use silver 18 and 20 gauge half round...but I am going to try and make silver rings with my raw hide mallet I ordered and a mandrill. I have a hand held mandrill but I need one that expands...lots of money huh? Bless u and thank u for ur wonderful personality and assistance.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm sure it will all go well! :)) And yes, that indeed takes a lot of money, but it is a specific field, so it's unavoidable. However there are ways to be smart about it, there are places where we can buy second hand tools (like facebook gropups etc), modify other ones and slowly gather everything that's needed ⭐

[@livesomewhere9432]

I really like your videow, I bought most of tools as you suggested. So I bought Foredom Pendant motor and Parkside attachment kit, but I found these 2 are not compatible.How did you solve this problem?

[@stephencoster9532]

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...

[@meriemnadjladrabla8568]

It is my 4th time watching your video ^^ can you please tell me from where you bought the 3M scotch brite, radial bristle wheels...? I tried to buy a lot on cookson clal but they are not available right now

That's a shame tehy aren't available right now :( I did buy mine at Cooksongold at that time, I have a big stock, so I haven't been buying new ones recently. I hope they become available again. You might want to check Cousins UK if you're based there or on Amazon

Hi, Thank you SO much for those amazing tuto. I was wondering, I saw these 2 items on Rio Grande : #326 125 versus #332877 One is NEW and so much more expensive. I figured if it si so much more expensive there is a reason, as for being new as well. May I please ask you what you think, please ? Teri

Hi Teri! Would you be able to add links? I tried to find these products using these numbers, but it wouldn't work for some reason. I'd love to check that for you

hiya flower I bought a knock of made in china Fordham pendant moter 100 pounds saving me at least 180pounds, I have had this now for about 2years and it is still doing everything I ask of it, my bugbear and what narks me is what makes Fordham and all these other big name products on the market is you are paying for the name and that in my book is wrong, if joe blogs is selling a tool for 20 pounds of self same specifications and quality as mr j fancy stuff who is selling the self same thing at 300pounds I know where I will go, another example I bought a wax waterproof jacket 20 odd pounds if I had bought a top name product at the self same spec well over 200 pounds no way will I pay that kind of money I cant even afford that amount, anyway rant finished great vlog you take care and I look forward to seeing your pretty face again.

I found these www.thecuriousgem.co.uk/gold-filled-soft-wire/gold-filled-wire-12-gauge-2mm-soft-round-by-the-foot.html. But that is brass, and i can't find any goldfilled silver wire with 2mm in diameter. So do you know anywhere I can buy that?'' and just wanted to ask u here instead, because I hope u see it on here :) - Magnus

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi, I'm sorry but I won't be able to help with this. It's definitely good idea to contact the suppliers and ask them directly if they stock or will stock any particular supplies, or if they are able to point you in the right direction. Hope it works, good luck!
