Regularly Im told that I talk too much in the videos. They are meant to be educational jewellery making guides so I thought the more information I pack in to them the better. Apparentely not....
So heres a video with no talking at all! You can see every step of a pear shape collet being made but that is all.
If I had spoken you would of learned about why I was making it the way I was, different ways it could be made, different claw designs, their positions and soldering them on. Cuts of gemstones and how they effect claw angles which need to be considered for a collets design and probably something about how I went to hopital last week to get 1cm of saw blade cut out of my finger.

Don’t let the haters silence you. You are one of the best fabricators on UA-cam !
I for one appreciate everything you do, no matter how you do it, because it’s free knowledge and it’s awesome. Thank you!
Excellent video! I appreciate any words that are spoken about why/how you do what you do as it adds value to what you are doing. Don't listen to the naysayers! Thank you for your hard work in teaching all of us.
I feel you got subs because of the explanations and the stories...I know that's why I subbed...keep it up you are growing fast, because of your supreme content. Haters are not real fans they don't deserve your silence.
Haha… 😂 that was hilarious, excellent way of making your point. Love your explanations please bring back the voice. Can you also do a video of making a halo around this collect?
Thank you yes it was kind of a mock of those people who dont understand the channel is educational. Without explainations the videos are just a bloke making jewellery and no one learns anything
I like it when you talk in the videos, your explaining what your doing
I really prefer your explanations, could you please do a repeat of this video with a voice over? Ignore those people who don’t like you talking.
I asked for a repeat too bcoz now we have a collet makin video, with no tips or tricks😔 dang them lonely Trolls
I also would prefer to hear Chris explaining what’s going on. 😂
Honestly I found it amazing how you could explain all the steps and still do a really good job. I know how hard it is to explain all the steps you do and concentrate on the work at the same time. Not an artisan but an Engineer in the optical industry who had to train many new colleagues over the years
It definitely knocks my skill level down a bit making things and having to talk about what Im doing and why. Also moving a camera about etc.
Long time watcher and I seriously never comment, but I miss the banter, you are such a character, don't go changing. Bring back the banter.
A suggestion for those who don’t like the talking, turn the volume down! Meanwhile the rest of us can enjoy the talk. When someone says I have lots of knowledge I’d like to share, why would anyone say “ok but give it to me in silence”😆
Here Here!!!!
Good idea!
Gosh, I thought you didn't talk very much. Just said exactly the right amount of explanation to be friendly and informative. Thank your for this video, but I think it needs some chat!
What I find in this vid is no educational narration here Chris. The vid is well done but leaves so many questions out there for "new to the art" subbers! To hell with the NAYSAYERS! I'm gonna post this to our great group, Inspiring Metalsmiths Jewelry, where, I think you will find a lot of support for speech for explaining the process as you go!
Not enough talk :P Ive learned so much from your videos, always look forward to your content, keep it up! And THANK YOU for all the work you put in to help others!
Great ASMR relaxing sound video.....😂🤣 Chris, you are teaching, and for me anyway, knowing the reasons you chose to do what you do - which is reflected in your commentary - is SUPER helpful and enlightening for my open student mind - I WANT to learn.
I want to do an asmr video lol
I seriously cannot believe how anyone can it teaching annoying ! Because you’re answering all our questions without us having to ask… you are thorough and clear, top tips continually… please don’t let the ones who think they know it all ruin it for the majority that appreciate your personality, make us laugh and just for being you us so refreshing no stiff collars please ❤ Snd thank you !❤
Ok so I've watched a lot of your videos, and well, that's because I like them! I will admit to you, I have done Diamond Mounter marathons. So, IMHO, you do you...chat away and thank you for sharing! Don't silence yourself, silence the haters
I so much appreciate your style Chris! I love how you communicated even though you were not speaking. I kept cracking up every time you showed a past comment, so so funny. Thank you :)
I love your explanation. And the way you explain everything. Please don’t listen to those who are so disrespectful,
Don't stop talking, it's so informative and enjoyable! Keep up the amazing work 🤩
Those people who complained probably didn’t pay attention in school either! Keep talking as you have lots of great useful information to impart to people who really are interested in learning new jewelry making techniques. There are very few others who give you more than visuals while they work.
Thank you very much! This is the simple tutorial to follow I needed , I was always mind boggled how to set pear cut stones :3
I hope this was a tongue in cheek poke back at the critics. Chris you are high up in the list of best jewellery instructors on you tube. Every video of yours that I watch delivers a wealth of information on several levels. Watching your hands, the position and the grip helps me to mimic and improve. Your description of the task and the difficulties are invaluable. Lastly every anecdote or aside is worth inclusion as instructional value or comic effect. I say well done and thanks. Please ignore the criticism of talking too much, those clowns either can switch off, or turn the volume down!
Lastly an open question, do any of these critics actually have any on line output that allows them to demonstrate any video teaching technique at all, let alone a better technique.
Keep up the good work man. I like your work.
Fantastic craftsmanship and great teaching video, even without sound! We appreciate your verbal nuggets of wisdom. You should teach the way you like and detractors should turn off their audio!
I like the punch sound effects when you add the comments on screen. Makes it feel like a punch in the gut. You do fine, no need to worry about how much you talk.
Please continue your commentaries - they are great!!!
I appreciate the detailed explanations becouse im getting into advanced silversmithing and im a perfectionist also love your work
I love your videos and your talking, and personality adds so much.
I love the way u talk on videos! Your voice remind my mind to relax & let’s get into studying mood 🤓🔥 Thank u for the content u share, just finished 5 years master of jewelry design & metalsmith.. & enjoy learning from ur knowledge!
Please continue to make audio instructions. It is easy to fast forward or silence devices if people would prefer less of anything. I am an intermediate metalsmith and would prefer the instruction and explanation. Thank you
The one video in a while where I actually wanted loooads of information because I’m crap at setting pear cuts!!
lol sorry maybe I should do a normal video on a pear shape again
Same as all others... love the chat and banter. By far the most informative guidance I have seen around!!!
Hey, I for one love how you talk on all your videos explaining the process and whats going through your mind.
Actually the spoken instructions you give for producing your work are very helpful.
I think the video is great with the talking and explanation. It helps to make it understandable I only imagine it's not cool for someone who doesn't speak English as you could imagine. But I wouldn't stop talking because people say. so people complaining if you don't like the speaking then turn down you volume and don't spoil the videos for people like myself who appreciate the spoken explanation. Thank you.
Thank you from Brazil. Like and subscribed.
AMAZING job!
Awww Chris mate i love hearing your golden words of jewellery wisdom that you choose to share with us on you-tube. Maybe the ungrateful a-holes who don't should just turn the volume down? I've only recently found your channel and wish i'd found it a lot sooner. Hearing you explain what's going on in your head as you're showing us how to make things is what makes your channel so fantastic and informative. Please ignore the ungrateful NUMPTY's that are complaining.
Chris, I love your videos! Talking too much? Na. Let the haters be the rain, you are the parade my friend. Be yourself! Ilove all you offer and your honesty. Thanks.
Don’t listen to the trolls! I’ve never had a problem with your commentary
I like the commentary. You are a much more skilled jeweler than I, so its nice to hear your thoughts as you go along. Dont let the snot bags on here take away from your art.
Chris, Love all your videos .Great the way you show every step and your attention to detail really help. Keep making them, I'm a massive fan. Thank you
I love to hear your voice ❤
Your talk always with great sense of humor...
Please don't listen to those haters nonsense advice ……they know nothing !!
Your talk are always one of the best elements in your videos.🥰🥰🥰 and you explained the technique well.
Sorry I can't finish this silent lesson because I don't understand many details. 😢😢😢
Totemo shinsetsu arigato!
Oh....and to those complainers, a compliment or joke followed by a criticism doesn't make your comment appropriate or constructive, just make it a cheap shot.
I very much enjoy your commentary when you make something. I think dialogue is an integral part of any explanation and was greatly missed in this video. Seems like quite a few of your viewers are saying the same! Many thanks.
Yes im humbled by all the positivity being spoken!
Bro don’t let anyone influence what you do by something they say. Your videos are amazing and I learn so much from you, you’re a huge inspiration. Please make audio for this video because whatever troll said something to cause you to make this video silent, they don’t matter my man…. It’s all about spreading the knowledge and doing what you came here to do. Don’t let anyone throw you off course. It’s just a voice in the wind man, no one of real substance even looks at those comments because we’re too busy learning what you have to teach us 🫶
Thanks! I made this video to make fun of the people who don't understand I'm teaching not entertaining. It also highlights the importance of explanations. I have done pear shapes on other videos since this with explainations
Hey Diamond Mounter,
I'm new to jewelry design and have been following you for a little while now. I think you're absolutely brilliant and funny as hell. I have learned a lot from you and I love the fact that you continually talk unfiltered as you work. It allows us entrance into your mind and trains us to think as a real jeweler should, continuously and constantly. There will always be haters out there, no matter the individual or subject matter discussed so please don't take it personally. Seriously, keep up the great work and don't change a thing. 😉To all the haters on your channel I say, we're tired of your trolling and negativity so either check yourself or phuck off somewhere! 😡
Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.
Good for you mate. How about people appreciate what you are offering rather than complain about something. 'Too much talk'. What a direct comment. Speaks volumes of the person. Perhaps all your videos should be only accessible by payment. This sense of entitlement people have and the complete confidence is criticising from behind a screen is woeful. Those details you provide, and reasons for doing something a particular way are valuable, and the stories show you are human. How bout you blacklist anyone who makes simple direct and judgemental comments and let them find someone who offers the same level of detail you do. I'm a teacher, and also have been criticised for too much talk. Limit it and then others complain. I think your vid proved it's point. For those criticising, don't ask questions now (e.g. material thickness, how stone should sit on collet before blocking etc). Do a demo on setting fancy shapes (specifically with points e.g.. princess cut, baguettes, heart, pear, marquee etc) and be sure to turn the camera away during vital prep prior to setting (you know what I'm referring to), then watch the complaints roll on over broken stones during setting. It saddens me how a whole generation complain about something they are getting for free, a sense of entitlement, and that their voice is louder than everyone's. I applaud you for your videos, and for this latest one inparticular. Sometimes saying nothing in response to those complainers is stronger than saying a lot.
Amen to all that!
As for doing this video with no talking it was brilliant because now I HAVE to go watch another video to see what all the trolls are talking about 😂😂
More talk! Your videos are entertaining and educational. Definitely better than some dry educational videos or like back in school with a teacher that's monotone
Those that dont want to listen find your mute button, CHRIS DO IT YOUR WAY its your si,te you provide a lot of good advice Im guessing most of us are greatful Thankyou!
This is my first time watching your videos and I missed having someone talk me through the process. Please talk again 🙏. Aside from the silence, your video was really really detailed and thorough and helped me immensely. Thank you.
Anyone who wants you to talk less clearly isn't here to learn. What kind of idiot wants somone who's teaching them to not say a word? You make some of the best and most informative content, thanks for all your video, and thanks for talking through all of them
Perfect and nice shape work, thanks for share you knoledge, greetings from Spain
I like to hear explanations of how something is being done. Your videos are great so ignore the people who don't like to hear you talk. Nobody's forcing them to listen so they can just vote not to listen with a tap of their finger and move on to a different video! 😄
Question about the equipment you use. I cannot find the thick-jawed hinged flush grip plyers you use can you provide a link, please. Thank you in advance.
I am always stumped by what I would refer to as "assinine comments". I would also assume that the "talks too much" comment was the only fault the one viewer had about your videos! Keep up the good work Chris!
Your talking points are always informative and casual. I enjoy letting the videos run while I’m at the bench. Today, however, I stopped and actually watched because there was no narrative telling me what you were doing, only the visual to follow. It was like sitting at my own bench, doing each step carefully and completely, checking for fit and accuracy at every point. It was valuable to have to watch closely, actually paying attention, so I could catch each detail. Valuable lesson, but I do like hearing you. 🙂
I personally like with sound better, all those little extra bits of info you add in with audio are great. You also got some good camera angles in this video. One more thing, i noticed you have a decent torch now. Love all your videos, keep it up and be yourself.
Omg 😂 and I’ve been waiting for all your tips on this one!
I was so confused on why you were making your bezel wall too small until I realized it was for prongs to be added 🤣. Nice work
Lol, well played Mr. Bilton, well played!
Dude!!! Why did someone have to comment about the voice?! Now it’s a silent video and that’s much less knowledge for us now!!! I needed to know what’s going on, I love the explanations, they’re vital!
I like the commentary, I like to hear your thought processes and the explanations behind them. I spent most of this video thinking , what's he doing there, why's he doing it like that and what's written on hisT shirt.l
I want to hear what you say, ignore those comments! You’re videos are great!
Hi! I was curious if you would mind sharing what thickness you are using for your collet and your prongs?
Its not like the haters have enough of an attention span to make it worth your while dude. Just do you. I for one prefer to hear you talk because I always listen first then watch again after work.
I missed your Bander Bro !!😢
That's sad, I'm hear to learn, I think your video is exactly what I need. I don't know if in other video, you explain the steps or if it's just small talk, but I would have loved some explanation. Thank you for the video.
Damn i hate not talking haha videos it's why I watch to hear your stories n experience how much you love it makes me love it. This silence is boooooorrring ;) jk thanks for making videos and putting in work!
The whole premise of your channel is to teach, you even say that in your intro, that these are "instructional videos". These people complaining about you talking too much, will never learn anything in life, because if they can't sit through 15min of instruction, with tips and tricks from real experience, then they obviously are not even open to learn.
Channels like yours are few and far between. There are many other channels that just show the process, with no explanation, and those channels have their value. But finding channels where someone is willing to talk through the thought process, share tips and tricks that are only learned through hands on experience, address questions, etc, that's rare.
You can't please everyone. The complainers can grow up and use the mute button, or find another channel. No one is forcing their hand.
Keep up the great content and the great instruction, and passing on of the craft! You're appreciated!!!
Thank you Bart! I'm planning to remake this collet video with the full instructions as usual.
Talk! It adds more depth to your wonderful, instructional & entertaining videos.
Thank you very much for this great video - would be even better with words of explanation!😉 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's pretty sad that haters made you not talk in the video I wanted the most haha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
By the way, the link for your second channel isn't working in the description, it's missing part of it I guess.
Haha sorry maybe I will do a marquise video again but do it differently and say all the things I wanted to say in this one
Hi came to subscribe after seeing Jim's fb post ....looking forward to watching your channel .
Welcome!
Don’t listen to those Twats make your videos the way you want. Your comments are helpful.
it seemed as if you worked even slower when not talking,lol. love ya man
But please talk however little or much you want. Your videos - your rules. 👑 And thanks again for sharing your skills. Your humour cracks me up all the time. Keep it up.
Mate.
Dont worry about these comment's.
Is this the place to try a win a fat cap necklace??? I want to buy one too!!! That way if I win me and the queen can match
Youre on the list! They are available to buy from Etsy UK. CBilton Jewellery store
O my goodness! I LOVE your accent, and your personality! There are some really strange people in the world who seem to exist only to make others miserable. Take complaints with a grain of salt. What percentage of your viewers is it? Likely less than 2%…and likely that’s on the one video they didn’t like. I’d invite them to watch a different channel if they find your personality to odious. There’s a few channels that show jewelry making without any talking, but there are things that you teach with your talk that they are not teaching. Keep being you! 🌸
I'm just gonna say it, W. Anchors complaining about you talking too much, go somewhere else then ya bunch of Angus Bull Danglers! I also love the talk with Your Vids Mate, Thankyou for what you do!
😂😂😂… love your reaction… ❤but I love your commentary better… awesome video… ❤
I am always perplexed by people who take the time to complain about a video not meeting their expectations. Surely if you don’t like it you just move on to something you do like. It’s not as though it is compulsory to watch to the end or that they have made any contribution that entitles them to feel aggrieved. In my experience it is those who have the least to offer society that always have the most to complain about.
yes exactly how i feel
Thanks for sharing 👍👍😁
Just found your channel and gosh I needed to hear what you were doing 😔
Im planning to do another pear collet video I will speak as usual in the next one
@@DiamondMounter thank you 😊
Please return to your normal routine of taping... ignore their inexperience! They Know NOT the value of your explanations of complications when hand fabricating. Me 30+ years on the bench ... I enjoy each and every video that I have watched to date. You are providing a great service for new, upcoming jewellers; providing them with a great resource! Seriously ~ the cheek!
People can be real idiots. The knowledge in this particular video is very hard to come by. I know, having scoured the web a few years ago for it, and wound up paying $25 for a downloaded tutorial, the only lesson on this setting I could find.
It helped, but everyone has their own ways, and I would have valued anything you had to **SAY** about it, you being only the 2nd source I've ever seen, and you also bring generous to share this knowledge freely!
You do your own thing, there are enough of us out here that appreciate it. Let the others go elsewhere and miss out.
Maravilloso!! Muchas gracias
Frustrated, I would have loved hearing your description. Fabulous
Love the talking. Need the talking! 😊
And, what a shock, people on the Internet have been moaning about something again. I quite like the chatter xx. Enjoy the vids either way.
Well I don't know about anyone else but I need the talking. It's all part of the training process. Those who complained are probably just know-it-all's who watch to complain rather than to actually learn something!
Can u please make this video with audio .. I’ve pacifically searched for this type of video for instructions and it’s the one u say noting in
Hahaha great video Chris.. What a slap in the face for the trolls. But man, u will have to do this video again with all your commentary and tips bcoz that's what I know the vast majority love about your channel and why we subscribed an follow in the first place and now we lost out on a pear shaped collet instructional, without any instructions thanks to a few lonely ole Trolls! 😔
I really hope u pay no attention to the chatter of a few numb skulls, an readi. The comments u can see how many of us appreciate your tips an knowledge of the business.! I for one thank u once again and hope normal vids return soon. ALL THE BEST CHRIS🍀✌🏼
Ps z with all the cristism about talkin too much, not one person gave u a thumbs down an i noticed this in most of your vids! Just sayin lol. Please come back! 🙏
Hehehe… I need words!!!! Words are good!!!😂
I can’t watch this in silence as I only half watch but always listen….bye bye crickets!
Don't go!
@@DiamondMounter I’ll be back! Love your chatter!
Oh eye candy 🍬! 😁
Great video please keep talking from now on
Personally I like vocal instruction
MORE TALKING PLEASE, SPEAK UP! Who luvs ya? The people who DO know where the Mute button is!!!! Not that I'd want to miss one utterance.... love those punches!! You tell em'!
