Thank you so much for these videos! I had to build a ring shank similar to this and watching this video gave me very clear instructions so I was efficient in the studio today 😊
Thank you for all your video's, Soham, they're very instructive. What I don't understand about this video is how you make the bezel. You said you would solder the bigger ring on top, but in the second video I see a bezel on top. Is it a ring with a strip of metal around it or how do you make this?
Thank you Mr Harrison, another easy to follow lesson, I am ready to start, trying to put your instructions into practice, however I think it will be a lot harder than you make it look!.
Thank you Mr Harrison, used my 3rd hand first time today........LOVE IT!!! I bought the same as you. I was wondering if you can make a video on polishing, what to use and how to use it. I know it sounds simple but it's those last touches that matter.
Thank you. I intend to try this with two wires of 12 gauge already soldered together in their mid point. Used hard solder and it took FOREVER to flow. The first piece of solder ran around to a side, added another piece, continued, and now I have a piece of solder to file off, and a headache. I have a stone and matching bezel cup ready. Not good at fitting, measuring; if it doesn't fit a finger, I'll put tape under. :)) ........(Making it BIG.)
Fabricated rings are interesting. I have made a ring from one piece of material. Would you consider posting a such a ring? One with a mounted stone of course.
Dear Shoham, thank you for a great movie. can you elaborate on how you would set the stone on your original idea with the 3mm round wire after it is soldered to the ring base? Many thanks !! Dana
You have a jeweler's hands, Soham. You're right handed. That's clear. You have more arthritis in your right hand from years at the bench! I am also right-handed, but I'm more arthritic in my left hand from playing the mandolin for 30 years, fretting with my left hand! Gee, I'm Multi-Talented! LOL! Haha. Not so talented with the mando, but I play Bach. Also not as experienced with jewelry. Bach is hard to play well.
ye i will. i like to have all the tools, half the battle isnt it, your right ill make one, better than using the punch to do it, One more question, been reding up on etching, seems a good way of getting pattrens on, Can you etch gold ? thanks soham
I wanted to ask what third hand or third hand system you're using, as it looks like it's very sturdy and reliable! Are the tips something other than stainless steel? Many thanks!
Hugh Messenger - Hah! Good call. Love that system, and wish I could afford it. Someday! Still working on developing my bench, but I'm definitely getting there. Thanks, mate.

hello soham,I realy like ur work and all the things how u explain...I want to ask you if u can show us this typ of chain how is made...its realy popular in our country so take a look on google on this name: königskette (idk how to write on english) greetz
yes, but it takes a strong acid. you need to buy tim mcreight's book "the complete metalsmith" it if full of useful info like this. the student version is good enough, but the professional version has worthwhile additions.
So many tips with all your videos besides the project! Love these!❤

Beautiful work, Mr. Harrison! Thanks again for the wonderful video.

Nice Soham...thx. where did you pick up that cool boarder punch?
ye i will. i like to have all the tools, half the battle isnt it, your right ill make one, better than using the punch to do it, One more question, been reding up on etching, seems a good way of getting pattrens on, Can you etch gold ? thanks soham
Ps especially if you don't have all the polishing equipment. Do have a grinder that may double as a polisher.

Looks like a GRS, to me. Actually I wouldn't have a clue, except he says, around 6:30 in part 1. :)

Great video, really informative!!! You are my new favourite :)

Something caught my eye in this video. Your torch hook, did you make it or buy it. I've searched all of eBay and there all the same, just a stand.
So nice! I love it! A question: do you use borax?
+Said Prado yes, borax base flux
ohhh... thanks!
Thank you, you are very kind !!!
Ahh! I wasn't expecting you to fill in the sides - interesting. Got my brain ticking...
Wow, I never thought of that. Thanks again. Lol.
Thank you! Now I am going to work! :)

just make one out of an old file. anneal the metal, cut and file to shape, then re harden. mc creight has a good section on tool making
either rio, or santa fe jewellers, dont remember which
it is just a screw in cup hook from the local hardware store turned sideways
