Hi. Here’s a suggestion I figured out the hard way: Take a little scrap piece of copper wire and string the components on it before putting them in the tumbler. Then you don’t have to fish for each one!

Thank you! Yes! It puts a nice polished shine on them! ☺️💜

I hadn’t watched this one for whatever reason, but I needed it today. I really appreciate the lengths and gauges that you give us. It makes it very easy to plan! Thank you!

Great video! Thanks for sharing that! I didn't know how a tumbler worked. It's also good to know you don't always get the components perfect! Makes me feel better, as a complete amateur.

Hey! Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think in the comments! I make the swan clasps second so if you want to jump ahead it starts about 5:50 👍🏻 Enjoy! 💜

when i make my jump rings i tumble them! this also gets rid of any little burs. I make a 3/4 to 1 inch jump ring out of 12g -14g wire,(the heavier gauge the better, keeps them on better) then I place all the jump rings on the larger jump ring , then close the larger ring. then tumble them, no need to close the smaller jump rings, almost all will stay on the larger ring. No more burs, and they are stronger! Oh--I also store the jumps on the larger ring, no more tangled mess, and no more sanding off the burs---Yay!!! another tip, I store the jump rings on the larger ring-- in one of those pop up pill minders. A pill minder for each gauge of jump rings! Will try this with the clasps so i don't have to do a search and rescue!

Yea, that’s weird! 🤔 I tumble my jump rings and things too. That’s a great idea to hook them on a larger one! I never thought of that lol! 💜☺️

Where did you learn to put them in the rock tumbler? I have never heard that and because of my arthritis it's hard to make jewelry but I must have watched a thousand videos 😊

Hi, thanks for the video! I’m new on wire work. But I wonder why need to use ss shot to wash them 2 hours ?

@ZurickDesigns

4 жыл бұрын

Hi there, thanks for inquiring! SS shot polishes and work hardens the metal really nice. It also smooths out the rough edges and saves a lot of time hand filing and polishing. 2 hours is pretty standard I think. I’ve always done 1 1/2 - 2 hours with great results. Hope this helps! ☺️

I watched your tumbling technique, so I did purchase a tumbler, but one with a black rubber barrel. I used steel shot that you have listed below and put a drop of hand soap in and put in 5 pairs of sterling ear wires and about 7 lightweight finger rings. After about 1 hour I removed the jewelry and found that black rubber from the barrel was on most if the pieces. I was able to remove the black rubber using dawn dish liquid, but of course that was extra time to handle each piece. Do you have any suggestions as to how to keep the rubber off the jewelry? What did I do wrong? Should I use a tumbler with a plastic barrel?

Thanks for your reply and the link. I did read the article, the info was helpful. I did, however, return the rubber barrel tumbler today that I had ordered from Amazon, and I purchased a plastic barrel tumbler similar to yours, using the link that you have provided with your other information. If you use it, it must be good for the pieces that we make. I watch all of your new videos, and repeatedly watch your others, any that I can find by Zurick Designs. Thank you for sharing all of your designs and talent.

@@rosanalbandian2572 oh ok, I would’ve thought those types of tumblers would be better but it doesn’t sound Ike it. Hopefully the new one does well! I’m glad you enjoy my videos! ☺️
