I am new at this. I started watching videos about 7 months ago on how to make jewelry. And I have watched a ton of videos that are on UA-cam. You are one of the most thorough and Knowledge instructors I have come across. Thank you for helping me to understand this wonderful art that God himself has instructed me to pursue.

Good clear instructions as usual.Thumbs up!
I think I understand the method of turning the dials to 0 but not sure why.
The increments on the dials of the roller I use go from 0 - 14

Glad you enjoyed the video. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't thinking about the rate of reduction that the rolling mill causes. I was rolling until the edges of the copper completely disappear. But, I like that you cleared up the rate if compression for others.
Thanks for your support! : )
