I spent months learning what tools i needed and the result of all that work includes almost everything in this video with only a few more items... wish this had come out sooner!!!
Can you make something from start to finish Can you explain the steps each and every step along the journey of making jewelry from start to finish it’s gonna be a long video but can you do it
Just from this video alone i can tell you deserve more subscribers. Great info, good presentation, excellent videography, and good sound quality. Everything a master videographer needs.
I put my pickle in and old dill pickle jar inside a wax warmer designed for, well, waxing legs and such things. I like the ability to swap out jars of pickle quickly, and have a sealed container that won't spill to much if it gets tipped over.
Absolutely phenomenally informative. Your explanation of each has been so easily understood. You are a great teacher!! I am really looking forward to watching all different videos to learn.. thank you
Lots of extremely useful information in your video here Lucy. Awesome precise and clear presentation. You also got across the ultra importance of wearing a mask to me. Well done.
Hi Lucy been watching from South Africa. Love your vidios. With every thing going on here i had lost some hope but you seam to have given me the insparation to get back up and working at the bench again. Thankyou very much
Ohhh thank you so much Martin! I have quite a few students in South Africa, and my best friend lives there too, Hope to make it to your part of the world next year!!
This is very helpful video,I’ve worked on repairing watches for years,been doing a little jewelry repair here and there,wasn’t sure about some of the tools,thanks! I’m gonna subscribe an learn more ..
Thanks Lucy Im only a beginner, Ive done lots of silver and bronze brazing but am mad keen to make some silver jewellery. Thankfully I have many of your suggested manual tools as my dad was an aircraft engineer, lists of very fine stones of all shapes and a similar array of files. Anyway thanks you did float my boat... so now to get started
WOW!!! Fantastic video! I wish I had seen this video before I spent countless hours trying to find all these tools by myself. This video is extremely helpful for anyone, such as myself, who's trying to get into jewelry making!
This video is super impressive. VERY well organized and produced with the perfect amount of information and very good information. Lucy, you are amazing.
Thank you Lucy, for an excellent demo, very detailed and very relevant. I am a novice in the jewelry making world. Thank you also for NO music to hurt the ears, oh joy!! Your workshop looks enviably organized, nice work. Love your tutorials. Subscribed. I hope to become a serious jeweler. So much to learn! Your take on the tools, with brand names, sizes, and suppliers was very much appreciated. I want to say here, that I have used a Dremel rotary tool 4000 for many years but they are poorly made and break down, need carbon brush replacements and never have the power. Foredom Flex Shaft set up is much better. The choices on Foredom are mind boggling, but you selected the most versatile (and cheapest) motor of the 3 available - my choice too. Glad to know which handpieces you picked as there are too many choices. Very glad to know what bits you picked too! I want to add that Diamond bits whether drill or bur or hole saws are very useful for cutting into ceramic, tile, glass (use water spray during cut) and I made many bowls into planters with these diamond bits, for everyday DIY use around the house. Useful for drilling into porcelain fragments or tile for making jewelry. Always spray water during diamond drilling into stone, clay, glass. In the US buy these here: Plastic goggles - Harbor Freight $2. Wire, metal supplies, jewelry tools - Etsy.com or Amazon.com. Stones - Ebay, Etsy, or local gem shows in your towns. On Etsy, you get all the Indian vendors from Jaipur, Rajasthan, home of stone cutting and great source of world gems. Pick your vendor carefully. Some are good, some are not good. See reviews. Ottofrei.com is a good place to buy pricey tools or kits, cheaper than Rio Grande. They are reputable and based in Oakland, CA. One thing I would love to get some advice on... what model ultrasonic cleaner do you use if at all? I have jewelry to clean from a house fire and overwhelmed by the huge variety and brands of these. Many made in China do not last or malfunction. I need a good one, portable size.
Thank you so much..I subscribed...I'm just starting this journey into jewelry making..so your videos are going to be alot of help...have a wonderful day...
Great video love!, just going into the industry and this is the best most well put together and organized video I've seen out there on setup. Subb for sure!. Editing and production is top notch as well!.
Hey Lucy, THANKS for the video! As a beginner there´s a high risk of buying wrong tools or bad quality. Wish I´ve watched it before I bought my start-equipment :D
Wow, you're a gem! thank you for a great video! A very good list & great explanation! Im an amateur jeweler that sells on etsy but dont have the means to buy EVERY tool under the sun, so this is very helpful list! I am saving this video for sure!
I'm just starting and I've got some basic tools from a home workshop like drill press, sanders, vices etc. I'd add to that video, if you've got generic tools you can make your own jewellery-specific tools. I made myself mostly simple workholding tools, punches and modified some existing hammers and anvils by polishing them. Cheap tools need to be polished again after some time, but I find it worth the effort.
Hello, Lucy it's a pleasure to meet you. Saying hello from California. Not sure where you are and looking forward to getting to know you and learning. Thank you
Hey Lorena in California! Welcome lovely :) I'm actually based in Malaysia right now, but born and bred in England. Bit cold over there for my liking though!!
@@LucyWalkerJewellery if you don’t mind me asking, what is it that you suppose keeps you from being “rich”? I can also understand if you don’t care to be rich in money.
Wow its really amazing and I wish you make more videos. Can you please suggest how to clean plated (gold,silver and rose gold) stainless Steel jewelry after engraved? I see lot of stains, marks. Also how to remove scratches or protect during engraved. Really appreciate your help
I have never in my entire goldsmith education used other hammers than a chasing, mallet and a basic cross peen hammer and thinking about it i mostly used a mallet
Hi Lucy! Love this video and the resources on your website. I'm a beginner and starting to purchase my tools. What weight would you recommend if I were to only have one good quality chasing hammer? I looked at the two brands you recommend for hammers, and they list several options for the head weights. Thank you!
i don't know much but this migh be a good replacement for the jeweler vice it is makable at home just ther for the video Antikythera fragment #1 on the channel clickspring might be usefull to you guys
Hey thank you for the video! I’m currently starting a small jewelry business, and I will be making Cuban link chains to start. I’ve watched as much videos as I can, but there are still some items as far as tools and such that I am uncertain about. Could you give me a list of what I would need please

Thank you Lucy.
Fantastic valuable message. Thank you very much
Thanks
Hi Lucy, ur videos are absolutely transparent and honest, 👍🏻
I'm just starting and I've got some basic tools from a home workshop like drill press, sanders, vices etc. I'd add to that video, if you've got generic tools you can make your own jewellery-specific tools. I made myself mostly simple workholding tools, punches and modified some existing hammers and anvils by polishing them.

Great video, well done. I’m thankful for your expertise and information. Thank you!
Thank you so much Sandra!

You nailed it! I love your video just starting in metal smithing and I'm loving it😉

Thank you so much Paul! we are super busy working on more right now :)
Hello, Lucy it's a pleasure to meet you. Saying hello from California. Not sure where you are and looking forward to getting to know you and learning. Thank you
Hey Lorena in California! Welcome lovely :) I'm actually based in Malaysia right now, but born and bred in England. Bit cold over there for my liking though!!
Wowwwww!!! That's a lot. But very very informative
Thanks lot
Love this video. Making jewelry is a great way to make art, and even create a small business that can lead to a path of fulfillment and happiness!
I'll never be rich! but I'm doing for a living what I would pay to be doing as a hobby! that's winning right? :)
@@LucyWalkerJewellery Absolutely. Make the best with what you have, and do what makes you happy. Thats winning :)

now i love more than ever doing jewelry
Glad to be of service Mr Red! xx

Really love your plier set behind. Hope you can show us someday
That's actually a brilliant idea Gemma! thank you so much xx
Wow its really amazing and I wish you make more videos. Can you please suggest how to clean plated (gold,silver and rose gold) stainless Steel jewelry after engraved? I see lot of stains, marks. Also how to remove scratches or protect during engraved. Really appreciate your help
In jewellery making the most important tools is black wax for soldering so pls make video on wax for jewellery making
I cut opal I'm just getting into jewelry. I welded for 20 years, whats the best piece to start with?
Very helpful, thank you
Great video. Amazing. I am thankful for information.
Great video, Lucy! Where would you recommend someone goes to buy metals as a hobbyist? Does rio grande sell to anyone or just professional jewelers?
Absolutely love the accent!
Awe shucks thanks! it's a bit of a mish mash of everything these days xxx
Great video, thank you. Where is the best place to buy these tools and supplies in Europe (I live in Germany)?
Thank you for sharing. Great tips. 👍
Thank you so mush.
I have never in my entire goldsmith education used other hammers than a chasing, mallet and a basic cross peen hammer and thinking about it i mostly used a mallet
Cool and helpful video,thank you
Thank you for sharing 🥰
So informative, great content! Thank you very much for this video!
बहुत ही बढ़िया जानकारी 👍👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏
I don’t make jewelry or plan on it. With that being said I loved your video. Great points. Foreman is better then a dremel by far.
Thanks for sharing! KANSAS USA
I appreciate you! ❤
I might be in love
Very good advice
Hi Lucy! Love this video and the resources on your website. I'm a beginner and starting to purchase my tools. What weight would you recommend if I were to only have one good quality chasing hammer? I looked at the two brands you recommend for hammers, and they list several options for the head weights. Thank you!
i don't know much but this migh be a good replacement for the jeweler vice it is makable at home just ther for the video Antikythera fragment #1 on the channel clickspring might be usefull to you guys
And you will actually use all these tools! A rolling mill next on my list.
I use all these regularly! Ohhhhhh a rolling mill - I love mine. If you can go for Pepe or Durston!
@@LucyWalkerJewellery i hear english american Australian abd something else there lol
Do you like your plier holder? Where did you get it?
this video is super informative and useful , thank you Lucy .🌻
Hi I was looking to know more about the bench you working on. What bench is that. I like the large surface.
I am also in this field
Good job you also work same like me i do in my channel
What do you use to melt the metal?
Love your videos! where do I get that rack that holds your pliers? Thanks for being so thorough
Love your information I'm a master Jewelers as well
I wish I was a master jeweller! thank you so much Alfredo
Lucky Skywalker!😆❤
I’m a beginner, and I have a dremel, do you recomend buy the foredom right now or I can start with what I have?
You can definitely start with what you have! the most important thing is to get started xx
Hey thank you for the video! I’m currently starting a small jewelry business, and I will be making Cuban link chains to start. I’ve watched as much videos as I can, but there are still some items as far as tools and such that I am uncertain about. Could you give me a list of what I would need please
The first video of yours that I’ve seen, and you just got yourself a new subscriber ❤️
So i also have a questio why not use a soldering iron when it comes to soldering?
