AWESOME!!! I've been wanting to make my own burnishers and here you are showing me how easy it can be! 😁

Thanks and Enjoy!

I've made a dozen burnishers before I watched this...finally i get the nuances to making a correctly shaped one...thx for that.

Wow. I have watched a number of videos on flush setting and have had some success (and some failure of course), but in the first minute of this I finally understood something which hadn't been really clear in the other ones I've watched. Thanks so much, I think it will make a difference.

You are welcome.

Thank you! I have been wondering for a while how pressing the burnisher on the stone could possibly push metal over it. Your drawing finally explains it.

I had been wondering the same! This is the best explanation I've seen out of the 20 or so I've watched/read!

I saw your tutorial on doing a gypsy/flush setting on your website and that led me here. Both tutorials are very informative so I will be checking out more of them. I'm still a novice and have never done a gypsy setting but it is on my not-so-distant to-do list. I tend to never throw things away so making a burnisher out of old bits is a great idea and it'll probably make burnishing Gypsy settings much easier than with a manual burnisher. Thanks so much for sharing this! BTW, I subscribed. 👍 Have a great day! 🙂

*Excellent Tip, thanks for saving me some money on buying my burnishers!*

When doing something like that, I put a mark on the burr with a speed marker or something, so I can keep an eye on, I don't hit one spot more than others.

Thank you for explaining the burnisher. 2 questions. 1. I don’t have yellow rouge. What would be closest? Red rouge, Tripoli, or zam? 2. What do you hold the burnisher in when you use it? Thanks.

He did a great video tutorial for doing Gypsy settings on a pair of earrings. You'll probably see what you need to know there. I don't have the link but you can find it at his website or on his KZread channel.

Nice ❤️🇧🇬

I am setting 1 mm diamonds - any suggestions on how big the tip should be? I am guessing smaller than what you are showing here. Thanks for sharing this!

Yes, a little smaller. you will have to experiment.

Let me first admit I have never done Gypsy settings; HOWEVER.... I've studied several videos that recommends using tools that are a percentage of the size of the stone and was wondering if you might be able to figure out the size you need based on recommended percentages? But like he said, you may have to experiment even if you do use the percentage formulas. I am really anxious to give this a try myself. Cheers! 😊

Will jewellers rouge work please?

I don't think it is aggressive enough for steel, but you can try. If all else fails, you can use newspaper. The ink print will work better than nothing.

​@@DougNapierJewelryMonk That's rather interesting. I shall file that away in my memory for future use. 👍
