Mr jim goes through a complete unboxing and explanation for diamond painters that could be brand new to experts alike. We all quite enjoy his company. Great vid as always jimbo 👍

Awesome video, this was very helpful. I agree that it would be nice if DAC would leave the pens empty and let us decide if we want to use the putty or the wax. Thanks for making these videos!

Such a fun project! Thanks for sharing 😊

Hi Jim. He's so cute. Looks a nice easy thing to do in-between canvases. TFS.takecare 😊

Super video. I may try this to see if it will pick up the AB’S cause I’ve had bad luck with using a regular pen with the pink wax it was aweful for the AB’S to where I used tweezers for the AB’S. This was a very interesting video. Thank you

Thank you for showing how to fill the pen I’ve been curious. I really enjoy using it it’s great. I think I have quit a ways to go before I have to refill and I use it everyday. Have a great day😊

Thank you for this!

Thanks for the video, I have my first DAC painting with the new pen on the way so I'll see how I get on with the new putty and consider swapping it out following your tutorial 😊

Great video ❤

First time here, and yet we are 45 mins in and haven’t even seen the canvas yet. Way too much waffling about nothing. Just got so bored. So I left.

Gorilla tack by the gorilla glue brand is brilliant it lifts straight off with tweezers

Thanks Jim - just got my first storage container and thinking about the best way to use it. Happy painting 🎨🎉🏁

These are adorable. Cute way to have kids learn to do the diamond arts too.

Cute 💜 👩‍🍳

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊

Do you have any videos of your pen collection ?

This is brilliant 😮

Have you tried tweezers with rubber coating on the tips? I'm just starting out with diamond painting and in my head it seems like they would be easier to not slip but I'd love the opinion of an experienced diamond painter, such as yourself. TIA!

Where do you buy those tips?

Hi Jim. A good step by step in your unboxing. This canvas will keep busy for a few weeks . Take care to you 😊

G’day Jim I bought an ergonomic pen similar to yours from TEMU only the one I have you can’t replace the tips. My friend Anna who got me into DP bought one from TEMU which looks like yours but I don’t think there was any tips. She tried putting the wax in the hole but it was a waste of money. I have lent her mine to try it. She actually still uses the pen she got with her first DP. I found my pen was very comfortable to use. I don’t have problems with my hands I got it as a novelty. It was very handy for me when I am using a magnifying glass as it’s only small and doesn’t get in the way. I would definitely recommend the ergonomic pens. The one I got from TEMU is a bit prettier. It also maybe be plastic. The pen does what it is designed too. Cheers M 🎉

G,day Jim I just watch this video and I was surprised to see I had the exact same led light. It does have a couple of draw backs , first being I can only use it via the usb cable as for some reason it doesn’t light up very bright now. Perhaps I dropped it one to many times lol. The other issues are the reflection from my large magnifying lamp. But I must say the magnification with the light works really well. The last issue is my cats hair gets trapped behind the glass somehow. I have 3 cats so I’m forever getting tweezers and picking up the hair from my canvas. Still working that one out. I have trouble seeing the drills even with my fancy magnifying light so the hand held works well. I liked your idea about using a power bank. Atm I am doing a cheap TEMU painting and everything is so tiny. The legend is so small and have to use a magnifying glass to make out the code. Fortunately it’s only 30 Color’s some of the codes were printed so badly I couldn’t make out the little squiggles I had to use a process of elimination to draw the squiggle on my stickers on my bottles. This is only my 3rd painting and my first square drill canvas, it has been a real challenge because I started using glue dots as well. Even after watching several videos on the subject the glue dots are too sticky and they keep stealing the drills back lol. After getting glue residue over the drills I decided tweezers is the way to go. I was using a streamers tip of rubbing the pen on my clothing which didn’t work for me. (Besides after dragging the pen across my PJ’S cat hair got stuck on the glue haha) I’ve found I prefer to use tweezers on my square drills, much less aggravation. By chance I found myself on the page for the same tweezers as you and I was delighted to buy a one of set. I have never bought from France before. I can wait to receive them. Hopefully you’ll get a notification about a new comment on this videos, thanks for all your help with my DP experience. So far I haven’t been online if you have done a live as I’m in Australia and your I think 8 hrs behind me. Cheers M 🎉

Thanks so much for doing all these tests with the new pen. This one is a real game changer for placing AB's and I know I will definitely be using the new pen for this purpose. I wish DAC would give us the option of whether we want a tool kit, and perhaps give us a small discount if we don't take one. How many trays, pens, etc. do we really need? Thanks again.

Hi Jim. Iv struggled with my first square diamond painting. Your Chanel helped as I was trying so hard to stay straight and no gaps. I will try again tomorrow. Happy times. Thanks jo-anne

Thanks for such a detailed review, I've just received my first DAC kit (Alpine Serenity) and will work on it whilst doing another from Craft Buddy that I'm not too keen on. Good to see another husband and wife team doing diamond painting together 👍😊

We been using round drills but I may have to go for square drills in future. Just started this and wondered how people placed multiple drills at once lol. Take a sub,keep up the work.

That’s a stunning piece of art

Thank you for this video. Love your educational videos. 😊

Thank you for bringing me to this video! Also if you check the.. all kids come with. Under the blue on the right. The description there is diffrent with the new stuff.

Hello thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try mine out, though I'm completely new to diamond painting in general, yes it's putty changeable but can u ball up the old style wax and put it in? Or putty only.

Oh, Jim! You are SO SO lucky you are NOT here in this 112' 🥵🥵🌶HOTNESS of California right now! I love to hear your voice. Have a great one, and look forward to see what is coming. I am going to try your Frame bars secrets you sent me. Richard

I am currently working on this one. Have you completed it? Can you post a video about your completion?

Thanks for the info Jim how are you & Tammy

Good to know! Thanks for the info. I tend to push down quite hard when I use a pen so maybe the excess wax won't be so much of a problem for me.

The new drill pen didn't work for me with ABs. The drills just shredded the putty and I kept having to scrape putty of the drills. It works fine for regular drills though.

Thank you for this video. I ordered a diamond painting yesterday with a new tool kit, it is interesting to know tips for when I receive it.

Great video Jim. I’m yet to invest in a DAC kit. Are they worth the expense? I usually buy the 30cmX40cm kits off of Temu.

Thanks for the view I got some coming now that you said it’s good

It's nice to see that this new pen works so well for ABs which can be so frustrating to place with wax. Thanks for the demo.

I was wondering how you reload the pen?

Thank you for the demonstration! So appreciated!

I recently bought a set of mesh rulers. I love them. They are time consuming but, the end result.. I see a huge difference in my diamond paintings.

Thanks Jim I am going to be starting at the beginning of July DAC Love is Blind how is Tammy

So cool! Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you so much. I also ordered peace on earth and it comes with the new tool kit. I already have the new tool kit from an order I got last week but great tip on checking the thumbnails. Great video.

Thank you very much! I ordered “Peace on Earth” when it came out on June 15 and just checked and I’m getting the new toolkit! Yay! 😊

Hi 👋 Jim thanks for the extra tips as well

Thanks for sharing! 😊

I can’t seem to find this new pen I’m a beginner and I am interested in using this. Do they sell it separately? What painting did yours come in?
