I know I'm speaking to a man who's passed on, but thank you for these well done, informative videos. I'm just coming up in the trade, and these videos are pure gold.
Hi Steve, I have a question about the metal with graduated holes that you used when you drove the mandrel in to make the bezel round. Is that something you made or can it be purchased? Great video.
@@lithohunter Thanks. My brother -in-law is a blacksmith so I might be able to have him make one. I find it time consuming to tap-tap-tap to round up and your approach looks great. Thanks!
I noticed in another one of your videos that you were using shellac flakes to mount a jewelry piece to a back plate for work. I tried to do that once but had great difficulty removing all of the shellac when I was finished. How do you remove the shellac?
Steve, Thank you so much. Your skill levels are where I want to get to. Your techniques are amazing and a goal to meet for me. Thanks, Val

I made it by drilling holes through a steel plate.

Chilling the piece will help in removing the majority of shellac and the remainder can be removed by soaking the piece in alcohol.
@@lithohunter Thank you!
In the formula used to multiplied by three, why isn’t it the standard 3.14 instead.
Could you please explain ?
nice
