    How can we purchase his work? Would a link or finding some way for his work to be sold internationally be a better help for him and his family than just taking donations!

    His work is exquisite!! This is so inspiring to me as I’ve only been studying jewelery making since the pandemic began. My father was teaching me and he believed you should be able to make beautiful jewelery with only the most basic tools of a hammer, an anvil, pliers and a saw. Thank you so much for making these films Mr Cheminee. I wonder what the ratio mix is if borax to water because I can’t get the pieces to stay still when I go to solder they always jump around, even when I let them dry in the borax/ water first.

    Just found out about this through Rio Grande podcast, this is wonderful! :) I began trying jewelery recently. The feeling of creating something with very few tools is amazing. And giving those tools to ones that need them most really is amazing :)

    It's just amazing to see how he handles the wire and it just hangs so straight like string. And with what he is working with he can make such amazing jewelry. 🤗💖
