you are right, nancy hamilton should have a book! i am going to get the book about the different soldering techniques because that is my biggest challenge a lot of the time. i just learned how to pick solder and that has been helpful
Since that video, I also have another book worth recommending and that's Jewelry Making by Metalmith Society. A great beginner book and soldering is very well explained. For advanced learning, the one shown in this video about soldering will be a good choice! :) I agree, the techique where you pick the solder and apply wherever you need to is extremely useful and handy. Good luck with soldering! :)
One of my absolute favourites is "Eco Jewelry Handbook: A Practical Guide for a Healthy, Safe and Sustainable Studio" by Christine Dhein. When I started out, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the hazards and chemicals that are present while making jewellery, and thus I looked for ways of working safer. This book became very handy at tackling all my concerns and it is a great source for more sustainable materials to use while on the bench :)
You must ABSOLUTELY buy the Bible, the SACRED book .. where you will find practically everything !! “COMPLETE METALSMITH” by Tim McCreight. Thanks for your helpful videos. 🙏🏽☺️⚒
Oh right!! I actually have the student version of this book! But I left it at home 😱 and couldn't show it in this video... But I completely agree, this book is a must! I'ts brilliant!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Yes is the best One..I have the most complete and largest new version, I bought it through “At The Bench” I love this book 📕⚒😍 Instead I would like to know about all the books you have recommended, only 1 can be bought..which one would you recommend to me yes or yes?? Thanks 🙏🏽 😉
Finally a great Jewellery channel based in the UK. I have the same books and you have encouraged me to re read them. Also I am a huge fan of Nancy LT Hamilton, she is so clever and always cheers me up, as does your channel. I look forward to bingeing all your videos xx
that's amazing, Vanessa! I hope you will enjoy all of them 🤗 Thank you so much for being here and watching. I also love Nancy, I've learned a ton from her and she's hilarious! :)
Thank you for sharing these really helpful books, so nice to see physical books instead of digital! I'm just starting out and love watching your videos. One request is if you could list the reference info for books or tools. This would be very helpful. Thanks again 😀💗
Excellent books, all! They guided my beginnings too! I especially love Jinx McGrath's book; The Rings book, very straight forward. Though, she hired a stone setter to do her stone setting, but that's always a real option.
Thank you for the wonderful information- I adore books, especially on silversmithing! I also agree that Nancy Hamilton is terrific, I do wish she’d put a book out! I can’t wait to order a bunch of these extremely helpful books!
Thanks for the great video, just starting out so will definitely need all the help I can get. Also, it seems a couple of the Amazon UK affiliate links in the description are mixed up - Elizabeth Bone links to Jinks McGrath and Wing Mun DeVenney links to Elizabeth Bone. Thought you would like to know.
A great video, thank you Lady Stardust, Keep Ventilated! I love it. All these books are very good, I don't think there is 'Just One Book' that says it all, but The Complete Metalsmith, by Tim McCreight does come closest. A fantastic book that provides more answers than I have questions! Yet again a well thought out film, well shot with excellent sound, I feel I don't tell you that enough but it's true, you are very good. Have you seen Stephen Goldsmith's video on Kernowcrafts channel? Well worth watching. When people on here ask where to get the information when starting, I point them at books. Cheap and very easy way of providing a lot of very good information to a lot of people in an easy manner, fast. I love my 'Wave' thank you, Basia, stay safe, Steve xx...
will do! Good ventilation is a must 😄 I have the book by Tim McCreight, but the student version... It's ok, but I wish I was able to get the complete version, it's much more detailed. This one is sort of a summary. I totally agree with you and would highly recommend the complete version to everyone! :)) I'm very happy that you also liked the video itself, I think I figured out the filming set up a bit better now. Oooh, I have to see that video! I haven't seen it before. Thanks for letting me know :) It's possible you recommended it before...but I completely forgot! And yes, books are excellent and timeless! :) Take care xx
Thanks for more great books, I have been looking at the soldering one for a while because you have mentioned it before but didn't get it yet. I did get the first book you show here though because of your recommendation a while ago and it is great so thanks 😊 I love your new space it looks so nice!
I'm so happy to hear that! I'm sure that you'll love the soldering book too, I found it super helpful and handy. Thank you so much for watching lovely 🌺🙏
Your enthusiasm and enjoyment for what you do really shines through in this video Basia 💖 I couldn't help but smile and giggle with you, especially when pronouncing some names 😂 thank you so much for sharing! I will be putting these on my list to Santa this year and buying the ones he doesn't bring me lol happy holidays and stay ventilated 🌲😏🤙
Omg, STAY VENTILATED!! This is a perfect slogan for jewellers, I love it! 😍 I'm going to put this on my shirt and no one can stop me! Hahaha 😁 Thank you so much for watching lovely! I'm very happy that you enjoyed it ❤️
Hi Basia! Another wonderful video, thank you :) I just picked up Mastering Contemporary Jewelry Design by Loretta Lam which I’ve found to be very inspiring so far! Do you think you could maybe do a video on drawing tips for jewellery designers? I really struggle with drawing but am currently taking some classes online - it would be great to see your process and technique, especially given your educational background in art! Thank youuu 💛🧡
put some on your gift wishlist! They make a great gift 😄 I think they would make a great collection of books. If you're past beginner stages though, go for the soldering and stone setting ones, they will level you up! :)
ahahaha what goggles and mask, i lean over the pickle with my face close up :') no seriously, it's super important and some of us need to follow those rules :P
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing i’m learning at a jewellery studio, where there are actual jewelers doing their thing, and people come in for masterclasses. my teacher told me to come over and check out something super cool that he got. it turned out to be a fire extinguisher - 6 months after they opened 😂
@@alisa.maks26 OMG hahaha 😂 I can totally relate Steve, if you happen to see this, ignore it! You see, one of the viewers, Steve has kindly gotten me a fire extinguisher back in Bristol, but I couldn't take it with me to Poland. I was going to get one as soon as I got here and, as you can see, 4 months in and still don't have one! ;)) I need to fast track this one!
Wow, that's so awesome! Thank you, I'm glad m,y recommendations were helpful :)) As for the white compound, I haven't tried it yet, but now I have to! Thank you for the tip :)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing yes they are very soft. I only work with Australian Opal so it's a bit harder but does still like to break if I'm too heavy handed with it 😅
The sad image is kind of weird. The hoody. The position. Sort of over the top I think. Love you tons. But you don’t need to work so hard at the drama. Your great without its
