Hi Sue, love watching you, you are a hoot! wish we were neighbors we would have a blast. I've been making jewelry for over 10 yrs. love the bracelets you are wearing in the video. Thanks for the info. On bending cuffs. Carol R.
I like how substantial your pieces are! I have been looking for nice bracelet focals! Will check out your site for sure! Hope you still have these in stock!
I added that one to my wish list too. Couldn't find the whirly gigs either. Are those out of stock just temporarily or permanently? I like the propellor but the whirly gig really caught my eye.
Here it is; what you call a "whirlygig" at 3:35 in this steampunk video; ua-cam.com/video/5SAinqdSTW0/v-deo.html You mentioned it in the video where you showed how to make a spinner propeller ring too.
That is very true. But for most 24 ga stampings, which is mostly what this tool is used for---or lightweight aluminum blanks, it's really not necessary. In fact, this tool is like a helper for newer ones while they learn the process of making jewelry. I also have a technique for bending using just my hands, and it works very well. If the metal is very heavy like the old 17-19 ga French stampings, there isn't much that would bend any of them, unless they are filigree. Gilding weight is almost as hard as cast brass to bend; but most of us would never be using that, either. Another thing, Susan, is that many newer ones don't have torches, and some don't even want one. Some are afraid of them. I do have videos on that, and it's an excellent idea to learn to use one if for nothing BUT annealing or adding some patina. But, some just want simple. So they aren't going to anneal anything. It's nice that there are ways to get around it, in most cases.
@@bsueboutiques Thank you for taking the time to respond so thoroughly to my comments. I have learned a lot by watching your videos and always look forward to the new ones.

IAMGiftbearer I’m sorry but I don’t know what is the whirly gigs one.

For the viewers who use torches, they might want to heat the metal first to anneal it, which would soften the metal.
