Super video ! Often wondering how they made such fine detailed work in the Middle Ages (I’m a European and we have those incredible shrines in gold). Spit, soap, etc. and these days we tend to use expensive tools that go quick but not necessarily finer jewelry. Re burnishers : I saw someone on YT use a burnisher to get that ‘melted’ look on the sides of his pieces. Loved that ! Do you have a video on that ? I’m learning a lot from you and I love the ‘no expensive tools needed’ !

Hey Ryan, Glad you liked the video. Thanks for your support! : )

Im no jeweler but i ended up dropping my ring and denting it. So I used a stainless steel ear picker as a burnisher and it smoothed it out! But thanks to your video I will definetly use spit / dishdetergent as a lubricant next time!

Sounds like a plan. Glad you learned a trick from the video. Thanks for watching! 😀

Hi, love your videos. When I polish up the surface on my polishing tools, I sand and buffer them like you do, but for the final shine i use a fine ruby or diamond powder and a piece of thick leather (pig or ox), and rub the polishing tool against the leather to get that extra finish. A lot of work, but it's worth it. A small drop of ammonium (is that correct in english) together with water and washing-up liquid will make an exellent base for a great finish.

When you say to sand it with the buffer, do you recommend a compound on the buffer, and if so, which one(s)? Thanks!

@OnlineJewelryAcademy

8 жыл бұрын

No, I said to sand the burnishers to about 400 or 600 grit and then take them to the buffer to apply a mirror polish. Good luck with your project. Thanks for your support! : )

+OnlineJewelryAcademy I meant polish at the buffer- so it sounds like no compound at the buffer, if I'm hearing you right. thanks :)

You can use the same polishing compounds that you use to polish your jewelry items. It will work just fine on the tool steel. Glad we uncrossed our wires. Thanks for your support! : )

Is the chrome coating to keep the tool from corroding before you buy it?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy

Yes. Other steel tools maybe coated in an oily material to prevent corrosion on warehouse shelves. 😀

That was pretty much the creepiest jewelry lesson I've ever watched... anyway what burnisher would people recommend for flush setting small 2 or 3mm stones?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy

6 жыл бұрын

Hey Dan, If you found that video creepy, then be sure to skip this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5yTr9Gdj5Pbg7g.html On a serious note, the best burnisher to use for flush setting is one that you have to make yourself. What you need is a large round graver handle and a 3 inch length of 3mm round tool stock steel. First, put a tapered point on one end of the steel shaft and insert it into the pre-drilled graver handle. Then, place the handle against the middle of your palm and then grab the steel shaft with all of your fingertips. Mark about 3 to 5 mm below where your fingertips touch the metal. Cut off the excess (assuming there is some) at this point. Apply a point to the end of the shaft using a grinder then finishing on a belt sander. Sand the end to a 600 grit and keep the point kind of rounded like an onion dome. Then, high polish the end using your buffer. There you have it. Thanks for your support! : )

Haha, what a tool 😉
