Describing the internal wire curve tip and how it relates to tightness of the curved tubing is especially helpful. No body on line has explained this as you have. Good teaching- Thank you!

Thank you. Im stuggling with making my first brooch pin right now. You deserve way moẻ sub

As someone who is making quite a number of replica jewelry that is based on archeological finds, I'm very pleased to see such a video come up. Still, you are missing a 5th type of fibula: the pin fibula and/or ringed pin fibula. This is basically a long needle with a hole and/or a ring on top where a cord (or chain) is attached. The needle is stuck through the cloth and then held in place by the cord (chain). The top of the needle often is used as a base attachment for decorative items as well (like hollow spheres with decorations of filigree and/or granulation, or sometimes also just chased patterns). The ring itself can be decorated as well. Lapel pins are based on the same idea, just that they are not used to hold things together.

Do you make spring hinges?

Thanks for this video Greg! It’s great to see these ways of attaching jewellery. I’ll be making my own from now on!!

Thank you so much for yet another great video!

have you tried the cross lock tweezers with ceramic tips?

Amazon has titanium wire, I haven't tried it but it seems like a good idea.

I'm making a engagement ring for my fiancé I was going to use no coin ring like in silver wise and then I wondered could you take like an ounce of silver is that or does it have to be a different type of silver like a silver solder can I actually use just coin or is that different

Greg, curious: in your opinion, what is the thickest gauge wire the Lindstrom Flush cutters will cut?

Your tutorials are always spot on! Thank you!

Did you make all those attachments, they are fantastic, this is one of your best videos, a tutorial on how you make some of these would be awesome.

Thank you, I have been wondering how a penannular worked. The other attachment methods give me a lot of ideas. This is very helpful.

Oh my goodness Greg I'm only halfway through this video and I've had to stop at so many times taking notes, screenshots, and writing down explanations. This single video has solved several problems I've run into in the last few years. What a wonderful video!

Love it! Could you explain what a reduction flame is? I am leaning all of this at home.

Fairly new subscriber here. Just getting started and appreciate your videos

Fine lookin stuff. What metal do you use for springy pins.I've used piano wire for springs in some mechanical lock repairs but I have doubts about using the same for jewelry that may encounter perspiration. 👍🍻

Thanks for the ideas!!!!

What a wonderful video Greg! This will definitely be my ‘go-to’ on fibulae! Thanks for posting!

That was brilliant!!! Thank you so much for this!!!❤❤❤

Ty. I been having problems buts i thinks its because i use hard solder on all my pieces. I need to use medium and easy

Awesome video Greg! Thank you so much! I sure could have used this video yesterday. I had a bail float on my piece yesterday. After much thought I think it was because I used way too much solder. I had to reheat my piece and remove the crooked bail. I was so afraid I was going to ruin the piece. Luckily I did not. THANK YOU for this video. I am going to take another try at fixing it today.

Do you mind if I ask what kind of flux you use. Great video thank you so much!

That's a beautiful stone what is it please?

Thank you so much for another wonderful video! You're an amazing teacher!

Another great video! Thank you, I really appreciate your generosity ❤

Couple of points on brass brushes... Old suede leather brushes have more bristles, work great and last longer than you might think. If you find you need a more aggressive action to the brush, just trim down the length of the brush wires by about half, using a pair of scissors - this gives a stiffer brush. While I am using the file, I find regularly giving a quick pass over the file with a natural rubber block shifts almost everything before it builds up into more of a problem. [if you don't have one, a pencil eraser will work too] These can be found in block form and are used for cleaning abrasive belts. [also great for cleaning the crud off diamond plates]. Files are under rated and often misunderstood tools ... so look after them properly and they will give great service. Get into the habit of thoroughly cleaning them before you put them away

Thank you Greg Greenwood! This is exactly what I needed to see and remind me what I needed to do.

I was so confused as to what compound to use. Thanks for clearing it up!

Thank you Greg!

Amazing! Endless possibilities. You’re an amazing teacher. If you make and online course, for sure I would sign up. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thanks for the detailed explanation

Thanks for your videos. Very useful

Excellent teacher thank you. What kind of a stone are you doing the work on? Thanks 💜

good teacher you are thankyou so much

good teaching

thankyou sir

Why would a steel file card be any more damaging than filing regular steel? The brushes even have some flexibility to them. A scriber on the other hand is very hard and surely going to damage the teeth edges if you push into them.

Hello sir🙌 I'm sorry sir. I want to ask a question but it might be strange. Can this silver solder be applied to iron-containing media such as stainless steel? Because I saw some stainless soldering videos on KZfaq using silver wire. Thank you sir!

Hi, thank you for all the knowledge you provide. Would you please show us how to get rid of the white surface after the last turn in the pickle if I don't want to polish it afterwards? Thank you once again. 🎉

Gorgeous designs 👍

You are marvellous ❤❤❤

This is very impressive. I really like your approach, detail in video, and your calm voice teaching so many things I never knew or didn’t fully understand. Thank you!

Hi Greg, what kind of nails/pins do you use to hold your work still? And where do you get them?

Hi Greg thank you for the video going go try this. What are the jewelry pins called and where do you get them?

Please make a video on how to make silver solder, what metals are mixed into silver, what percentage of silver and what percentage of other metals is good for making silver solder😅 thankyou!!

Thank you so much.

Brilliant lesson! Love the different methods you show at the end as well, very useful ❤ But I have a question: in the second method, if you file the hinge instead of the sheet metal, will the hinge still turn? Doesn't the tube you insert het stuck because it is thicker than the filed tube?

Thanks for the videos. Love welding and precious metals. This seems like something I want to get into. Binge watching your videos to learn. Looking g into buying what I need and start making stuff!

Fantastic video ! Really enjoyed it ! Can I ask you what flux do you use ? Thanks a lot !
