Really lovely earrings! I just found your channel and I can't wait to watch all of your videos. I do have a question: I'm not clear on the angle of the hole drilled in the top for the ear wires. Are they at a 45 degree angle from the middle of the top surface to the back? Thank you!

Thanks Pat. I was wondering if you might consider doing a project that involves bending thick triangle wire. I’m really struggling with it and can find zero information in books and or online. Thank you so much for everything you do for us students

These are gorgeous! As is all of your work!
Do you have daughters Pat? If my dad could make these things I would pinch it all lol

Is also don’t understand the drilling for ear wire. Does it go straight down and then out?
Can’t see how that is done.
Maybe it’s two drill holes.
1) down
2) side as far as centre hole

Yes straight down and out see 4:57

Thanks, that is very cleaver. Didn’t think that was possible.
I have recently purchased the jig, after 20 years making now realise how helpful it is. Also purchased a chaneir cutter as hope to keep making till at least 80+. Forever hopeful. Your teaching is so, so helpful. Thank you.
