I was on a website on specialized tools, I had no idea what a doming block was, luckily when I googled it your video came up. Thank you for the video, demonstrations, and education.

Thanks for posting. I learned something new that I never knew existed.

[@izzyyellowhair7117]

This is very helpful for me as a silversmithing worker.

[@bartmueller1730]

Very interesting. Never used one seen them but didn't know a thing about them till seeing this video.

Just saw a set on an online auction, didn’t know what it was. Now I do, thanks for posting.

Lovely demo, very interesting to learn so much about dapping, many thanks!

[@alexanderdavis5332]

I just bought a dapping block kit, like the one you have here. I am going to start making rings out of coins, and this was one of the tools that was suggested. So I look up how to use one, and came across your video first. I just want to say thank you for sharing this, and I will practice on different materials and sizes. I am happy that you showed the things that could go wrong when forcing it instead of easing into it. I’m sure I’ll be back for a quick rewatch once it comes in the mail! Also, I love your accent! 😍 thanks again for sharing!

Thank you for this demonstration, i hadn't heard of this before and plan on getting one to use for some projects that I had in mind.

Good video. Was thinking about adding a block kit like that to my shop for something to do. Enjoyed your voice as well. Was very relaxing for some reason.

Also work outside of stock first working toward center will help prevent edge wrinkles,

To protect from rust on iron I prefer OSPHO (a brand name of phosphoric acid) to convert iron oxide to iron phosphate. I also use wax coating especially on brand new metal cutting tools such as files.

[@waltrautwhite8178]

It kind of makes me nervous to see the cube kept in the holder and see all the tools jumping around during work.:-)

[@ShelliesMan]

Thank you! I’ve been wondering just what all you can do with this Set, and I pictured the ability to make Hollow Solver Beads, of all sizes. Do people do that, or is there a way that is easier, that isn’t coming to mind?

[@skazkinano4]

Thank you for the video! If there is a video somewhere of how to remove rust from the tools?
