@@MelissaMuir Honestly though... You are my UA-cam crush. Lol... You are so talented, I've learned so much from your channel. I appreciate the time you take sharing your skills with the world. ❤
Excellent video , are you happy using CA glue if I fix pearls I always use square wire and twist it, then use epoxy. I have had problems with CA coming adrift I have also been put on to a great tip for polishing small hard to get at places, ( new to me ) cigarette filters cheap as can be, just thread them onto a screw tip shaft.
pijnto that is a good question. Quite honestly, I never use pearls this way and never use glue in my pieces, so we will have to see what happens. I was just following the instructions in the book. And that is a great tip about the filters. Thank you.
Thank you Larry. It is Pripps flux. It is such a good firescale barrier. I like this one a lot, especially when combined with the boric acid wash. www.micro-tools.com/pages/search-results-page?q=prips?aff=8 I buy the 8 oz bottle.
Wonderful trick! Also, I see you using the Green Lion Saw. I need a new saw because I hate mine! I’m going to order the New Concepts! I was contemplating the Green Lion... what’s your opinion?? May I ask??
Gripco1 I really like them both. I happened to use the green lion saw because it was in hands reach at the time of filming. And right now, micro-tools (www.micro-tools.com?aff=8) has a really good price on the Knew Concepts frames. I will be doing a video coming up shortly comparing my different frames. But I really do like the Knew Concepts saws.
Thank you for another great video. I just joined the FB group and am waiting for my book. What is the name of the “knife sharpening” block you use here for sanding the ring.
Nice work..

Beautiful ring Melissa. I don't have silver but I would use copper instead to practice. Thank you for another great tutorial😊.
Copper will move even more easily than the Sterling.
Wonderful tutorial. Just like reading a recipe book, I feel satiated without cooking a thing!
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed it.

@@randombrandon1940 I needed that smile today. Thank you! And thank you for your support.
Fantastic thank you. What was the size of the square wire? Can't see it in the list.
Let me check
Could you please tell me again the name/type of hammer you used and perhaps a source?
I enjoyed your video.
Thank you. The hammer is the Revere Goldsmith Hammer by Fretz: www.micro-tools.com/products/r-gf?aff=8
What size blade do you use in your saw for that gauge of metal?
I typically use about a 3/0-5/0 blade.

AWESOME job on the video Melissa! What is the orange flux called and where did you buy it?

How about working with bronze?
I am not sure how well that would work. I have never tried it.
Thank you for another great video. I just joined the FB group and am waiting for my book. What is the name of the “knife sharpening” block you use here for sanding the ring.
It is called a 4-sided Diamond Hone: amzn.to/2SNpyl6
