A Tour of the Studio | Jewelry Tips with Nancy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 кві 2012
- Nancy takes you on a private tour of her studio, which is where she makes her jewelry and where she films her videos for UA-cam. In this video you get to see where all the magic happens, and you get a peek at all of the STUFF she's been collecting over the years. A few people have been asking for a tour, so here it is!
Note from Nancy: By the Way, that stupid cabinet is called a Taboret! I remembered the name of it about 2 days later. Sorry about the stuff!

Thanks again Tim! The Empire has undergone a serious invasion of order and (well sorta) neatness. I purchased cabinets and removed a bunch of extraneous "stuff". Now, I still can't find anything - when I need it - but, I do eventually, when it's no longer of use to me! Love my studio's new name - I'll need to saw out a sign. Possibly add a warning: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here! Take care and thanks for another great comment. Nancy
Nancy, I love your videos. Please keep them coming. They are raw, honest, light-hearted at times, but meaningful to me.
I've been smiling for about 6 minutes now because you're so animated and spot ON about stuff and where it goes!
Hi WIllow, I am very grateful for viewers like you. You make all the hard work worthwhile. My studio has changed a bit since I made this video, so I may have to do another tour when I have it exactly how I want it. Thank you for watching and commenting, and good luck with the studio!
Nancy
Hi htrfdes, I love being in there 99% of the time. The other 1% though, after a big push to create or with deadlines approaching, that I have thought of getting a big snow shovel or a fire hose and scraping the mess into a trash can. All you need to create a studio like mine are junk stores, resourcefulness and tons of work! Glad you appreciate a good hoard! Thank you, thank you. Nancy
It's so nice to see another artist with "stuff" I come from a family where I seem to be the only one who inherited the creative imagination gene and for all the cool odds and ends I have picked up along my travels to use in my art, my family sees as junk. Even after seeing these things turned into 'art' my family calls me a hoarder and I am tired of having to justify having 'stuff'. Thanks for the breath of fresh air, the humor and the great video!
Hi Balistic, you hit the nail on the anvil! Yep, space. Although, if one doesn't overbuy tools and stuff, they wouldn't need so much space. Many jewelers operate with very few tools and little space. I am just an addict and love, love, love cool tools. It's a problem, if viewed as one. Besides space, I'd like more time AND more money. All in all, I'm happy with my hoard and yes, it is very functional. Thanks for writing. Nancy
Thanks so much Reneesmom! I always appreciate your comments. Hugs back at you! Nancy
Thank you so much Paxxie! I must admit, after filming and seeing my studio in the light of video, I de-cluttered a lot and finally purchased some cabinets to store all of the "flotsam and jetsam" - can you tell I lived on a boat for many years?. Still a bunch of stuff floating around but, much better. I just pulled a bunch of odd bits out the other day and may actually make something with them. Have fun in there! Glad to meet a like mind! Thanks and take care. Nancy
So do I Sammy. I use them all the time! There are so many good authors out there! I'm working on my own, in a digital version. Thanks for commenting and watching! Nancy
You are my Shero Nancy. Thanks for all the sharing you do and for sure showing us your studio...which I love stuff and all. You are the most generous, kind, talented jeweler I know. Literally.
This is great. I am designing my studio and collecting ideas of how I want to set it up. I have been doing beading for over 20 years so I have umpteen beads. I have started metal smithing recently so this is a lot of help to see how yo have it set up. My space is about the size of yours with higher ceilings. Thanks again for the video, it helped a lot.
Hi Ateammama2, Thanks for the laugh! I've actually de-stuffed the studio since we filmed this - twice. Still not perfect but, way better! Distraction/avoidance - I get it. From, the queen of stuff, Nancy
Thanks for the tour, Nancy. I have my husband watching your video, so he will understand my addiction to stuff ;-)
I feel so much better about my workshop now. lol. Thanks Nancy.
I would love a studio like that. I love all your “Stuff”❤️
I'm drooling!!! Love your shop! Very nice! 😍😍💖💖💖
Stuff is a good word because I can REMEMBER it! Mechanics, sales personal and YT video viewers alike, appreciate my succinctness and clarity, ahem... Pick up the stuff and do stuff with it - thingy is an acceptable substitue but, I may not remember the word. Thanks again Catalyst! Take care, N
Thanks Mama Wren, glad I'm not the only one who appreciates a good hoard!
Geeeze Evelyn, you are totally making me blush! Thank you, I do appreciate your lovely words. I thought everyone would write and say, "Girl, clean that mess up". Guess if you are a jeweler, people don't see it as a mess but as a good tool store. Thanks again. Talk to you soon. N
Coming from a person who digs up stuff, this is high praise! Go STUFF.
That was fun Nancy, Thanks! I would love to go plunder your studio....lots of interesting "stuff!" I absolutely love my workbench and area as well. It's makes it so much easier to be creative when you have all your "stuff" efficiently at hand. LOVE your videos!
Hah! Given time, money and an addiction to stuff - others can easily join our club. Actually, I bought a few new cabinets and am actually sorting through (slowly) my boxes of little stuff. Maybe one day, the stuff will be hidden from view. Thanks for the email and for watching. Write again. Nancy
Wow!! You can tell that you have been in jewelry making for a very long time. I understan having so much STUFF, we need our STUFF!!!! I just the tour and your workflow areas is great and that is what's do important. I have a small area in the house to which I work on small items in the winter months but when it get warm I am in my garage where all my stuff is, but would love to have an area like you. Love it! and thanks for Sharing!!!!
What a GREAT place to be!! I would loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this studio!! Your soo lucky! Thanks for the GREAT show!!!!
Nanc, I absolutely loved this visit to your studio. Good girl on the fire extinguisher! Loved the "stuff" counter, too. Please do not chastise yourself for using that word. English, our native language is very limited and there really are no synonyms for "stuff". Very cool video. Thanks!
Final "Stuff" counter = 31! Ha ha ha! Nancy this was great! I am currently re-organizing my own in home studio and what a cluster! I keep getting distracted!
This was so helpful to watch! I'm getting back into making jewelry and have been trying to figure out how to organize and set up my workbench/shop area. It's a real look and great to see that I'm not the only one battling how to make it flow and constantly reorganizing "stuff". Love your garden too! Thank you
Thanks Ceafva. I appreciate your comments. Thank you. N
Hi Classy, Well thank you. I have to admit at being somewhat embarrassed at being such a limited linguist but hey, life is all about some kind of "stuff" or another, after all. Thank you so much for enjoying my oddness. Nancy
Love your 'flotsam and jetsam' comment - I thought it was just me who has a stack of little containers/bowls/boxes with bits that I've started but didn't finish...they're all just there, thought, waiting for me to return to them :) Really love your videos and I'm learning heaps, thanks so much
Such a beautiful space. I love seeing where other people work - thank you for sharing your very special studio. I can't wait to expand mine beyond the one room I've taken over :)))
You da Bomb Nancy!!! Thanks for the info, I was able to find it...It's now on the top of my wish list!!
Yup...sharing a space is out of the question....I've got my own hoard started! lol
Thanks again Nancy
M
Wow...I didn't know I could suffer from 'stuff' envy lol...so much of it....so much fun...
Brilliant, totally excellent. Love it. Just like my radio shack / electronic workshop, which is already influencing the style and organizational entropy of my Jewellery Workshop.
I love it. I would call it Nancy's Empire. Remember: its not lost until you can't find it. I use the Columbus method: search and land. :-) your awesome!
Nancy I love love your videos .You are one funny and talented gal.I look forward to your videos. I want my studio to grow up to be just like yours,what a great space. Benita
Thanks for sharing....You're hilarious with all your "stuff"......
This is such a hoot! Bravo - you go girl!
Thanks for this video! I know it’s an old one, but I’d never seen it and came looking for some ideas to organize. I don’t have near the equipment you do, but I have sooo many flex shaft tool bits that there’s no way to organize them (that I can see), but it’s great to see your shop and know there really is a way to “get it together” so it makes sense to the person using it! I only THOUGHT I had too many pliers LOL... I could hold all mine with just both hands together! I feel much better, seeing all yours AND hearing you say you use them all at times. I haven’t had a “setup” in 20 years and IF my eyesight allows, I’m trying to start over. Never going back into platinum, gold and diamonds though; just polymer clay, wire-wrapping and cabochon setting... I DO wish I’d run across my centrifugal casting machine and little oven though. I’ve got 100’s of old waxes to cast... Waxes! Another organization issue!!! Anyway....thanks again! I’ve enjoyed your other videos and now, seeing your shop, am more “ready” to just get back creativity!
Lol 😆 thanks for the tour,I have experience the more space I have the more stuff for my arts I have 😝
Love ur videos
Thanks Miriam. Good luck on the studio setup! Enjoy. Nanc
Thank you for sharing. Love the studio. A little to messy for me; however, you have everything and anything to get the job done. That's wonderful!
Love all your "stuff" & "dodads" .... Love you & you in formative sweet vidoes ... So glad I found you ... Hugs xox
Brilliant space.I have a random statue of Mary looking over me too and one of Shakespeare, haha!
Entertaining, and informative for someone thinking about putting together a work space.
Ah Trek, I hope you took a few shots for me. I know I did! OMG, after we filmed this I was appalled at how many times I said the damn word. Wish I had thought of your idea. I could have been drunk by the end of the video and it would have been even more interesting! Keep thinking, "I wish I had thought of that!" I went to school at Santa Rosa Junior College (in CA) and got my jewelry cert. there. Studied under a goldsmith master, Linda Weiss. Tough and demanding. Saluté. Love ya. Nancy
Stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff. I know the feeling. I normally say "thingy" XD
18/4/2018 Nancy L. T.Hamilton you are a "BREATH OF FRESH AIR" YOU HAVE FOUND AN IRISH FAN FOR LIFE !!
Hi Mschelle, Thanks for the laugh and the saliva.
Hi
Thank you for the great vids!
So what i got from the get go is that SPACE is the premium commodity. Perhaps more valuable than any tool, or even the sum of the tools. So if one is setting up a studio / shop try both to acquire as much space for it as possible and also make the effort to plan and set up for the best use of space.
I like that you've paid attention to the layout of your studio. So, while it might be full, it's still very functional.
Double thumbs up! Love it
WOW...as much as I enjoyed seeing your setup, as a newbie it was jarring to see how much more I have left to buy 😆
If possible, out of all the books you have, is there a particular one (2 or 3) you would recommend as a "must have" or "jewelers bible." There are just so many out there!
I've learned so much watching your videos & I wanted to say, seriously & sincerely, thank you.
Hi Benita, Well thank you. Don't forget to feed your studio a lot of stuff and it will grow up big and ...messy? Have fun. N
Hi Ceafva, Thanks for writing. I wouldn't mind if you came over and helped me get organized... By the way, I have my eye on several new tools. Probably should put the catalog down, now. Thanks again.
I like the solution you found for your beads/gems!
PUT ME IN YOUR WILL!!!! LOL, I saw this and the new studio.. WOW!!! I have yet to get my 'studio'.. my 'stufffff' is everywhere..
took a shot every time you said stuff.I'm drunk....at 12 minutes i ran out of buzz.saving video for saturady . friends are going to love take a shot every time you hear the word "stuff". love the video!! Where did you go to school for jewelry making? I have some STUFF but nothing like you have. i need to make some tables for myself but i just need to make some room.Thanks again
Hi sprite, My mother would throw out everything not tied down, when I was a child. She still can pack up and move in a week. I suppose my stuff is a reaction to her austerity or it could be that I see stuff and realize its artistic potential. Anyway, I'm grateful to have stuff and a place to put it. Thanks for the lovely email. Ignore those naysayers, you are not alone.
Wow! You go girl! That's my kind of hoarding....
Thank u for so many tips to set up!
Kind of embarrassing - showing people my abundance of "stuff". I have no shame, I guess! Thanks for watching my "stuff" and for the laugh.
Nancy - you crack me up.
i LOVE how many books you have
Thanks Much!! I'm going to start looking more closely at yard sales as well. Have gotten A LOT of good Stuff at them!! lol lol
M
Thanks again Creative Critters. Once again, great tips. You should do some videos....???? When I get some time, maybe I'll focus on doing a web page on tips for the handicapped. Of course, I'd bug you for information. Thanks. N
I LOVE all your Stuff!!!!!! I have one small bench...and Too much stuff also, so I truly appreciate your wonderful conundrum!!
Could you please tell me where you got the round steel mandrel holder? I've seen it on one of your other videos, and have tried to find it on the web...with no luck. Harbor Freight doesn't carry it either. (also, they don't carry the big anvil with the hole anymore.)
Thanks again for all the time that you share with us. It is a HUGE help.
M
STUFF!!! Man you got it all gf! Nice STUFF! ;)
Dig up, great words to add to my new dictionary. May I steal? Thanks and Hi to Mr. Fixupstuff too. N
Thank you so much. Glad others love their "stuff" too. Although, plundering is forbidden as I have a somewhat proprietary attachment to my "stuff". It's all part of being a tool ho and a hoarder. Thanks again. N
Drooooool!
Thanks Stube, stuff is obviously my alternate word for crap, especially when it applies to my studio. I guess I could use the word things or objects but how stilted is that? Get ready for the ear wire video - which I am sure you will want to recreate in the garage. Thanks as always, my friend. N
You have two dapping sets? I'm very jealous of the hydraulic press. I hope to own as many pliers as you one day.
Thank you wildgift! N
I would love to fly out to wherever you live and be your apprentice for a season!
Nancy, love your videos. I'm setting up my studio in my basement and really just have a corner with two benches. One will be for work and the other for soldering. Which tool/equipment providers do you prefer. You mention Harbor Freight and I'll check them out; however, I'm assuming they aren't jewelry specific. I ordered my apprentice kit from Rio Grande, but they are expensive. Any other ideas? I still need cutters (guillotine and disk cutters), roller press, a big anvil for hammering. Thx!
Hot down here, m'love. Southern gothic romances aside, there is little appealing about languishing in the humidity and heat in South Mississippi. You've been on my mind a whole bunch. Heard about the loss. Want to chat with you but don't remember the lecture about the right times and wrong times. Think I'm gonna have some Sambuca and channel you, Darlin'. You and your excellent man. You can even show up with your handsome, artistic, over-achieving kid and the gaggle o'cats.
Hi Nancy!
I was wondering if you could do a how-to on acid etching. I have been looking forward to buying the etching kit from Rio Grande but I don't know much about the procedures and how to handle the chemicals. I've watched a few videos here on UA-cam and glanced through a couple of books at Barnes and Noble about it but nobody can explain things like you do :)
I look forward to hearing back from you!
Lavonne
hahahahahahahahah! We probably do know each other! Separated at birth? Thanks for the laugh. Nancy
I have had the privilege of being inside the shop! MWAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
Yes Lavonne, you caught me. I also have two mushroom former sets (different sizes though). I used to teach in my studio so, I have extras of many things. One set of dapping tools I purchased from Harbor Freight and paid 25.00 for it. So cheap and they work great. Now they cost 39.99 but still inexpensive. Here's a sorta link: (youtube doesn't allow links) harborfreight (dot) com/25-piece-doming-block-and-punch-set-93539.html. Have fun. Nancy
I believe we are kindred spirits, I too have a lot of STUFF!!!!!!!
Ah! So I'm not the only one who want others to stay outta their stuff. My husband has "hammer envy". I have more and better hammers than he does! He is NOT allowed in my stuff. Bless you and yours Nancy
LOL! Thanks babe! My husband is FIXUPSTUFF! LOL!
would love the name of that rolling cabinet!
Hi Nancy how did you make your uv curing box?
Hi Birdie road, Don't ever let him in there - he will "borrow" your hammers and you'll never see them again. If my husband asks for a tool, I tell him I don't have it - whatever it may be. Safer that way. Take care. N
Hey Nacho, I found one at Contenti. Wish I could post a link here, YOU TUBE!!!!! So, here's my attempt at a link, that is not a link: progresstool (dot) com/pd-universal-mandrel-turret-holder (dot) cfm. It's called either a mandrel holder, turret holder or a universal holder - take your pick. Thanks for writing and understanding my crampedness (new word). I'd share space with you but, I've got this problem with my hoard. Sad about HF not carrying the anvil. I'll research it.
Teehees! Yepperz! ;)
Hi again, Here's another link regarding anvils which discusses everything you've ever wanted to know or didn't know you wanted to know. anvilfire (dot) com/FAQs/finding-anvils (dot) php. The HF anvil is in the "crappy" class of anvil because it is cast iron. I think that if used for jewelry making, it's fine (I've had mine for 12 years). Blacksmiths are mean to their anvils so, they need to be tough (the anvils that is). Good luck. If I come across the one I have, I'll drop you a link.
I hope you don't feel bad about saying "stuff" and not remembering the names of things. I am the same way, and so was my mom before me. She used the words "thing-a-majigs" and thing-a-mabob" (spelling?) Sharing, in case you want to expand your vocabulary :) I am THE worst at remembering names, not just of things but of people. It's horribly embarrassing somethings, but I've learned to laugh about it (so I won't cry about it :)
Also, regarding a basic metal supply for learning metalsmithing...what would you recommend as a basic starter kit. I get confused about what gauges are best for basic projects. I'm using copper mostly cuz I'm learning and make lots of lovely mistakes, so I buy the sheets. I'd like to play around with wire as well. I am taking classes 1x week, but want to practice in my studio, especially my sawing and soldering, and general fabrication techniques. Thx.
Hi, The Only Engineer (funny name your parents gave you!) I am planning World domination, as I write. I'll let you have the UK though, as you know where all the shops are. Stuff is everywhere. It just needs to be discovered and obtained. I applaud you for abandoning reason, order and the rules. Stuff on!
Hah! Would that be Mr. FIXUPSTUFF? N
Apparently Nancy can't say no to the Pliers salesman. Is there any type of pliers you DON'T have? ;-)
XD hey whatever gets the point across!
That's because you are cute and very special! Miss you toots. Hot down there in the bayou? Kiss kiss. Me
Steal away. Sorry I just got this message!
It still look like tooooo many stuff and not like a real pro' jewelry studio,,, keep stuffing
