I love a hand forged piece of jewelry.

Very informative video! I'm taking a jewelry-making class soon and I'm excited to try my own attempt at a cuff bracelet. I took a look at your website too and your engravings are super cool, I particularly like the bird-themed rings!

Your voice is wonderful to listen to. Well chosen music, and a fine display of craftsmanship.

No annealing? No ear defenders? Nice finished piece. Good tip about how to straighten bends.

Always on our list of visits when WA reopens to the UK.

I'm DIY ing a cuff bracelet. I'm using an 8oz bar of. 999 Silver bullion. It's actually hard work.

I want to be an elf in your workshop :)

Awesome video sir, I wish I was there to learn from you.

I enjoyed you video and hope you will make more. It was easy to understand and encouraged me to make it myself

Please make more videos John! This was beautiful!

I like your approach. Very simple.

Ready to see another video Sir John 🙌🏻

Thanks for producing this video. The production quality is phenomenal. I appreciate your insights on tool maintenence and forging techniques. I'm just getting started on my jewelry journey and have really enjoyed working with my hammers.

So much knowledge! And liked the phrase he said remembering the other jeweler, in his young days

Would love to see more please

You really ought to make more videos! Absolutely enjoyed this one.

Thank you, John, wonderful to see an artist in action.

You should do more videos! I'm doing some of these now and love your info and wisdom. Thank you sir.

So NICE to see you in action - and who knows maybe I would be able to spend some time with you again once OZ opens their border so SA.

Beautiful piece !

Thank you. This was a wonderful video!

Absolutely beautiful work John, thank you for being so generous with your experience and talents !!! Inspirational !!!!!

Thank you sir, i will get my hammer to try it :)

Great little bracelet sir, but as 47 years of making jewelry would’ve likely taught you, annealing in between processes would make your life oh so easy. Heck, you’d avoid the step of bringing your peen hammer back to remove stretch marks, because you wouldn’t have stretch marks to begin with if the metal were annealed prior to forming on the mandrel.

Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful years of experience with us! Do you take students? Love your work!!

Is there a reason you don't anneal the metal to make it easier to work? By the way fabulous bracelet!

I noticed you did not mention annealing this at all. Don’t you have t periodically anneal the silver?

Do you sell any of your punches.

Where'd you get this mandrel?

Had it made locally at a machine shop

I was wondering if you could help me? I can not seem to find 6mm round silver. In Us do you have any recommendation on where to buy it from?

Your voice astoundingly sounds like spongebob’s miltary driving instructor

Did you sneak at any time ???
