Yessssssssssss
This guy is the Bob Ross of silversmithing. Great video.
John Hartman the real deal silversmith a teacher of his craft.We thank you so much and we are thankful to have you.we know your busy and we appreciate your time.thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I love seeing something beautiful being created from nothing. This skill is worth more then people think and yet they want to pay pennies for their work. Amazing work, and thank you for the tips.
You’re kind of a Bob Ross-style teacher! Great work!!
Really fantastic tutorial! At 71 it’s never too late to learn. Been to your place in Durango but now have a connection!
Thanks 🙏 Shaun
Boy oh boy do I appreciate you teaching us. Your experience and knowledge is wonderful.
I’m sixty year old retired nurse and I grew up in a family steel fabricating shop in Detroit MI. We made the assembly lines for the auto makers. I’ve been working with metals when I was a kid up to college. Im so excited to now transform metal working to a smaller level - like you as a machinist - to precious metals - to make jewelry for the stones I find and polish & make cabochons as a rockhound.
Thank you, thank you again. Ahhh to enjoy the smell of metals, fire , metal filings, etc. at 60 yrs old, I feel the excitement.
You are going to help make my retirement enjoyable 😊
As below, I was just about to say, this person reminds me of Bob Ross in his calmness to doing, what I have found quite stressful. I now have him playing all the time, just repeating the videos, some really good tips.
I need a logo stamper now.
I have the heart and spirit of a jewelry maker. If I hit the lottery, I will buy the supplies to create what I envision.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips for making silversmith. Great series
John, I've been following watching many of your video's. Thank you for being such a great guy and helping with such great tips you've collected over 40 years! I'm in my 50's and just love hanging out with you. I feel like I'm in my dad's shop and he's giving me pointers too. Again, thank you we all appreciate you!
It was a pleasure to watch you Sir... and very informative. The pendant is very beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent and your skills with us all.
You do make it look easy-and you do your best to make it easier for your viewers, and I thank you, Mr. Hartman, I am barely a novice tho I know I have learned some just watching you at your craft. Beautiful setting and the pendant is so fine! Thanks again for sharing your time and skills and experience with us, you are greatly appreciated!
Thank you. Perfect step by step. Fastest bail maker in the West!!
You would be an amazing mentor.
I am new to metal working.
I have however worked with bone and turquoise since the early 80’s.
Thanks for sharing your infinite wisdom!!
Respectfully.
After watching your video last night , I made 2 settings the same, only small enough to make a pair of dangly earrings. Thank you, John 😊
Such a joy to watch.. your attention to detail is unparalleled.. your explanation of each step, profoundly insightful... thank you for sharing the knowledge that it took you so long to fine tune...obviously, you were always a gr❤eat student, as well...this will help to carry on age old tradition, for generations to come...
thank you! i really love watching and learning from someone who knows the tricks. and I appreciate the detailed information...I hope you keep making these videos!
I am happy to share my knowledge. John Hartman
Great instructional video. I have been a lapidary worker for a little over a year, I have plenty of material and a work shop in a corner of my garage. Silversmithing is the next logical step for me. I do have a jump on soldering though which is a big help here. I was certified in soldering for electronics plus I also did brazing on rotors for electric motors, I have the concept for flowing metals and I love to watch it flow! Ha! Thanks for your advice here.
Thank you for passing down knowledge to the next generation
And past generations also!
One of THE best videos I have watched on fabrication... thank you... have subbed.
Thank you for the video. Learned so much. Your an amazing teacher
An hour worth watching thanks.
Love your style of teaching. Thank you for the awesome videos.
John, thanks so much for all the valuable info you share! I’m a new silversmith and you’re really helping me a lot!
Great video, informative and detailed… your tips and tricks were very helpful for me as I was just learning metalsmithing❤
Love your videos and your humble nature. Your tips are so helpful! I look forward to seeing you in more videos!
The videos by John Hartman are amazing and so informative! Thank you!
Hello there, thank you very much for your professional, detailed video. I love your
pasión for teaching and please consider me your student. I learned a lot from your video today and I am feeling very satisfy.🙏

I’ve purchased jewelry from Durango in the past, and it is PRIMO! Thanks for sharing your process.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. It matters. ~ Rich, Santa Fe, New Mexico
You're a godsend, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
i like your work sir
Just wanted to thank you for taking your time and sharing your 30+yrs of knowledge with me 😊 I decided I would love to learn how to make native American pieces. I have been making jewelry for nearly a year but not soldering. I've taken notes through out this entire video so far I've got 3sheets of paper front and back lol I know it'll be a journey but I do believe I'll love it. I've been collecting jewelry this I was 12yrs old and I'm pretty good at making it but pieces like charm bracelets etc. My grandma jewelry I inherited last summer and I've been deconstructing the pieces that aren't my taste. She was Apache so I have so many Turquoise stones 💙 I hope you continue to make your videos because I am soaking it up , again thank you for sharing 😊
You may want to have your grandmother's jewelry looked at & appraised before taking any more apart. Native American jewelry can be extremely valuable. Just a thought...
John- I love your videos! Straight and concise and very informative. I'm a beginner and I feel your videos leave me with NO questions and some great tips! Its the best when you answer my questions as you're demonstrating! I think I'm going to get one of those sanders😊 Thanks for taking the time to show us 'how to' in the best possible way.
So thrilled to find this video ... I'm just learning the basics of silver jewellery making here in Australia ... and making a bezel for a stone is my next project ... so I feel I'm a bit more prepared than I would have been ... so that's excellent ... thanks so much :)
Thats really cool, I'm just getting into opal carving now. Setting my finished stones is the next step. Great video.
You're less than 40 minutes from me, someday I'll be visiting. Thanks so much for such great videos.
Thank you your teaching style and the quality of your teaching is awesomely and much appreciated. Watched you 5 plus years ago and getting back into it and I am glad I remembered our tutorials. Thanks again!
I cannot tell how thankful I am for your videos. Thank you so much to teach us how to make jewelry
Thank you !!! So helpful...great teacher .!!!
As someone who started silversmithing in the late 60s and taught myself from Opi Untracht's books, after having been away from this art form for many years, coming back to it now and watching your video, I learned so much from you...nice shortcuts and new ways of doing things. Thank you so much! Such a joy! :)
Thank you so much John! you have a wonderful manner and excellent teaching skills. I can't thank you enough for sharing. its making the wold of difference for me in learning.
You are a great teacher!! Make more videos!
I have watched a lot of how to do silversmithing videos and John Hartman from Durango Silver is the best. His tips and extra information on tools & supplies is clear and useful. Thanks John & Durango Silver!
I love your videos! I've wanted to take silversmith classes to improve my skills. You are so inspiring and make me want to be a better silversmith. Takes a lot of equipment though. I feel like I can't get better without the equipment. You really know your silversmithing skills. Thank you very much for sharing!!
I'm a silver and turquoise lover, but from now on, I will appreciate even more the silver jewelry I buy ...
Thank you for your generosity in sharing a lifetime of valuable skills carefully honed. You're an excellent teacher, explaining things in a way that's easy to understand and flows naturally, step by step.
The best, most complete silversmiths skill tutorial! Thanks very much!
An artist always make it look easy. And no I can't do it sir.
Such joy to watch a master at work! You are a treasure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I’ve learned so much!
Thank You John Hartman, I'm 84 and have doing silver for a long time. But old dogs can learn new tricks and I have. Making the double bail, finding ctr of the base plate excellent video. If you are a beginner, you should watch all of his videos. It would be time well spent. Thanks again John.
Thank you so much for the extensive video!!!! I'm a rockhound in Utah and have been wanting to make jewelry out of my finds forever. This is extremely informative and makes me feel more confident in starting to try to make my own pieces. I've wirewrapped and played with soldering over copper wire and this make me feel ready to start. THANKS!!!!
I really enjoy your videos. You have clear details and give me confidence to start silversmithing. I have wanted to start silversmithing but couldn't find a local instructor or good videos......until you. Thank you for this. Also, thank you for giving tips and giving resources for supplies.
This is one of the best, most detailed and well explained videos I have seen. I am learning how to make jewelry out of the stones and minerals I collect myself.
Super video!
Great content. Bless you, for sharing your experience and your artistic talents.
Navahoes had propane torches! :D Great movie, thanks for many good advices :)
Thank you very much, for the great tutorial.
Thank you for taking the time out to make these instructional videos John & family.
Great Video... i learned a lot about tools and metal choice and just overall production. Awesome!
Thank you so much, I learned a lot and great tips!
I LOVE John Hartman honest silversmith way of explaining what he's doing. It's also good to know that after all of his years, little "goofs" can happen (probably because he's moving slower to explain what he's doing). It's good to see how to fix a problem because as a budding newbie, I make a bunch of goofs🤪.
Thanks John. That was awesome.
I enjoyed this video, thank you!
Fantastic watching you, I appreciate your talent and your willingness to share your knowledge with all of us. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks very much.
Fantastic job done very clear explanations and professional thank you for your 30 years experiences dedicated free of charge to people, i learned alot from you ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
My 1st Durango Silver video. Great instruction. Thank you very much!
Here's a tip for making jump rings....... Use a knitting needle, many come with the size in millimetres on the top, push them into the drill chuck point first, slot the wire in-between the chuck teeth and start winding. I got some from the pound shop (UK)....... But I'm sure Amazon or eBay will see you good. 😎
Very solid and durable pendant. Now I appreciate the work behind it. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Peru.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, you are a great teacher and silversmith!
very nice work
Thank you for this. I've been wire Wrapping and doing chainmaille for years. I just started into Silversmithing and Making Bails has been an issue. Thank you for a Clear and Understandable tutorial
I am just getting into soldering and silver smithing and this tutorial was PERFECT! Thank you
Totally enjoyed watching. Got a lot of tips which will use. Thank you
Excellent video. So clear, so detailed, I feel inspired. Thank you. Love you, love your work.
wow!! that was fun to watch!
I've become so fascinated with silversmithing. Your video is very interesting. You can tell you've made a few jump rings during your time as a bench jeweler (in addition to jewelry items, etc.). I'd cut my fingers to pieces cutting rings while holding it that way. LOL! I actually saw a homemade mill grain tool made from 6 to 8 small stackable plastic containers that screwed together. They'd drilled holes that decreased in size in each section, stacked them from largest to smallest holes, poured bead balls in and the balls would automatically sort themselves because the smallest would fall to the bottom. I thought it was so cool especially since you could sort so many sizes at once. I had no idea it was actually a tool sold in stores since so many people sometimes make their own custom tools (and this is all new to me). I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Beautiful job.
