Oh My. I SO applaud your channel and shared videos…I was especially excited to see Mark, from Rio Grande, endorse your method of forming rings! Kudos to you! I am so thankful you and your sweet wife have chosen to share your gained knowledge with an audience who will continue your techniques in the future. Your altruism is so appreciated. Again, thank you.❤

I wish I could spend a year working with you!!

Oh my God the bloopers on this video were just as valuable as the information 🤣🤣

Love bloopers. It just goes to show how much work goes into these videos. Thanks Andrew and photographer.

Ah, good point. 👍🏼 The photographer deserves praise too!!

I'm re watching these and this time I'm watching on a big screen. A weird thing just happened Andrew. I was closely watching you piercing the name plate and turning the metal on the peg, and I found myself blowing the lemmel dust away. I was definitely absorbed.

I loved the bloopers so much haha

Always good to have a refresher in piercing, as I have a tendency to fall into bad habits when I've been away from my bench for too long. Thanks again, love the bloopers btw.

Thank you so much for covering sawing and piercing. I have been struggling with this, now time to practice, practice, practice!

Thanks so much for covering this today! Love your channel!

Love the bloopers! LOL

Such a useful video thanks. On the bench pins I am still confused about not only the types of bench pins, but the different ways they are mounted and the variety of sizes. Hopefully this will become clear during this series.

Another great tutorial. Thanks Andrew!

A great video on a basic technique! Tx again!

Thank you! This opens up a whole new door for me! Love the bloopers!

Thanks for sharing the clip.

Thanks for all you do!!!

Had to watch this before I sleep (it's 12.30am) because I'm going to be sawing in the morning with the option to try piercing. Very helpful, thank you.

Great! Very clever!

Thank you so much for your knowledge and tips to be a better jeweler

Fantastic explanation as always Andrew! Thank you so much for all your tips. I seem to be able to saw the curvy, fiddley bits but actually struggle with straight lines. I’m going to put your tips into action and see how it goes!! 😁🤞🏻🙏🏻

I love your Tutorials is so super thank you so much.

Praying information! Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you so much very helpful

Good work !!!👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you VERY much!

Thank you fore your Tutorials i learning much thank you

Good job, Thanks

Thanks so much for the videos to for a beginner. Been cutting Australian opal for a few years and now going to start setting myself. I've gotten everything needed for smithing and preparing for months. Haven't even lite my torch yet because like the opal I'm learning every single thing I can before I start. Then I can retake the tutorials as I'm starting bug will have a working knowledge first.

Watch ALL THE WAY TO THE BLOOPERS! TOO FUNNY ANDREW!!

Thanks for great explaining from india

A video on pendant drill burrs would be helpful... I like the way you simplify things down to the essentials, so how about the 5 types of burr you need? My foredom came with a set of bits that i dont know what to do with!

A feature of the Knew Concepts saw is that the blade can be rotated 90 degrees in either direction relative to the handle/throat so you don't necessarily need the deeper throat saw or to cut the work into smaller pieces.

Bruce Fulton yes you are right Bruce. Silly of me as I have one of the late Brian’s prototypes He let me play with

Thank you so much for the videos! Love watching them! ❤️ My question is if your wrist move while sawing? Someone told me to move the wrist up and down and also move the underarm no shoulder movement). In some other videos I saw not to move the wrist and hold the whole arm completely straight and just move it up and down. Hope you understand, what I want to say. Nice greets from Austria!! 🇦🇹

Thank you Andrew. Great video. Doesn't the lubricant clog the blade teeth or does it melt as you heat up the blade by sawing?

Thanks again Andrew for giving your time. I find that drilling an extra hole, next to the bottom of the M in your case, helps keep everything stable when you arrive back to the start point. How do you do the dot on the i ?

I was thinking drill bit. The dot is round and not elongated so a bit should work fine. If it was elongated, I would drill the fat end and use the saw to finish the tight end like Andrew did with the inside of the 'A'.

I ordered some brass and copper plates to practice on

I just liked the video and it became 1k likes. 🙂

What do you use to drill those holes in the metal?

I love this. I was just making these a few months ago. So many tips I could use here. ❤️

Thank you so much Andrew. As a beginner I find myself returning to your channel time and time again to learn the techniques I am struggling with. I appreciate the time and knowledge you share with us, not to mention the amazing inspiration you give. I do have a question... I would like to attempt the name plates as gifts this year (brilliant idea!!) When you have to pierce the letters (like the a and l in this demo) how would I then get into those places to file and nicely finish? What tool would you recommend for filing these tight spaces? Thank you again and Happy Holidays to all at At The Bench!! 😍

Buy a nice fine cut thin round needle file and a safety back flat file too. The more you practice the less you will have to use files

Thanks Andrew, love the videos. They’re very clear and specific.... but ummmm how do you handle the dot of the i!?

@lalloumaJewelry

Sorry to give input on this. But I would suggest sawing out a very thin imaginary line binding the dot to the i. That's what I would do at least. Or just making the dot directly straight on the i

Hi. How have you attached the wooden bench peg to your work bench?

@Atthebench

2 жыл бұрын

With 3 screws from underneath in a triangle shape.

Andrew...thank you for your amazing videos! In another one I watched, you said that when cutting curves, the bench pin should be flat out not at an angle? I see that here you are using the bench pin at an angle. Why, please?

@Atthebench

One, I am lazy. And two, I am used to cutting with the peg at an angle. If you are starting out it is easier to have the peg level

Hello im in Africa im a jeweller exactly in Mali as you working the name I really want to exchange with you. Thank you

Andrew, could one use a scroll saw with the proper blade to do these cuts? or have you ever known of a jeweler to use a scroll saw for faster production? Time is money

Can you recommend a good quality saw blade. So many different brands out there, I'm having trouble
