Beautiful work ❤😊
What is the name of the book? 😊
Melissa for a beginner what hydraulic press did you suggest that is not so expensive? Thanks 😊❤
@@jeannettesalazar6442 if you are to get one, spend your money right one time. I would want one that isn’t going to take up much space, and will use a 20-ton Jack. The ones I show in my videos will work really well.
@@MelissaMuir please tell me what is the name that you show?
@@jeannettesalazar6442 the one in this video is by Sandra Sirles and if you look at the description of the video, there is a 5% off coupon.
Great video! Thank you. I was looking for my dremel flex shaft, but now I just saw how quiet your motor is! Omg I am so jealous hahaha, I think I will buy one 😅
@@saphire_kraken1670 Thank you. They are great machines. This was my very first UA-cam video. I have a much better video on this if you want to check it out.

Hello,molim gdje mogu kupiti srebreni lanac za permanent nakit?
It looks like a Cuban chain of the puffy kind that makes a statement wich I like all the links real close Versus a Cuban curb flat has a little spacing in between Great work what I wanted to know is how do flat curbs get made real flat because I love how it shines and has sort of a edge look to it
@@andyflow180 Yes it is very similar to a Cuban. As far as the flat, i believe it is all done with the filing.
@@MelissaMuir thank you so much I appreciate yea it seems to be the filing I just was not sure
Great, thank you! Helps me a lot!😍
So you engrave there plates at the same time where you engrave a bat, how you did that like multiple pieces at the same time
I always heard this called Viking knit. Thank you for showing us and clearing up some things.
@@kristibbradshaw while it is similar, it is a different stitch.
@@MelissaMuir thank you. I really learned a lot.
I know it is a laser but will it wear down smooth a face ring for example? I know nothing about this but I am very interested in it. I love jewelry especially sterling silver. I would like to learn to fix jewelry also.
What hammers did you use? Thanks for posting the sheet gauge in a reply i was going to ask as well. Hi from Sydney Australia. Really like your style of videos. It is so easy to listen to and watch. The books here in Australia are over $120 each. Kindles are about $22 each but I like books so much better than electronic, I'm 70 so very old school.
@@peterrschuck thank you. I used an embossing hammer for the forming. But any ball peen would work. Yes. The book is pricey. I used the kindle version for a long time.
@@MelissaMuir thank you so much for replying. That is very helpful info for me.
great video, thanks! super thorough.
Magnifique! Merci...
Perfect, valuable information on softening and hardening wire. I probably canceled 100 peices of jewelry over the past 5 years not knowing this.
I’d love to see them on you! They are gorgeous.
Very nice! The studio looks great, BTW.

Hi, with this Device can weld aluminium?
Yes. You can
Hello when making wire do you stick to one track at a time tighten all the way down then start back again moving over to the next track size down and repeat? That’s the confusion for me Because it looks like you do a few runs on each track working your way down Reason I ask I’m struggling to make 1.5mm wire I only can get to 2mm then the flange starts you mentioned But I am working my way down like I mentioned Thanks
Sometimes there is a big difference from one groove to the one just below it. So I will run the wire through the same groove repeatedly, but I will tighten it a bit more each time I go, eventually getting all the way tight. Then once I have hit that, I will open it back up just a little bit and move to the next smaller groove and repeat the process. I hope that makes sense.
@@MelissaMuir thanks for the reply How can I get to use the smallest groves coming from 2mm over to 1.5mm it looks way to wide for the 1.5mm groove Reason I’m getting the flange on the wire and track flat marks ruins the wire I have tried so many times Has you know it takes a lot of work melting and getting to that stage at 2mm wire I just can’t get below 2mm
Comfort fit?
You would need to have a rounded groove in the mill in order to get that. Or pull it through a draw plate that has the shape you are after.

I don’t understand what you are asking.

Question: wouldn't hammering it to shape it after texturing flatten it and make the texture disappear? Thanks
It would depend on the type of hammer and how hard you are hitting. So yes and no. It just depends.
Hi. I would like to engrave on stainless steel watch back covers and some jewellery. I have the tts 10watts. It simply isn't etching anything on the metal. 100 power. 100mm/m speed. 10.000 lines/mm. Any suggestions.
Slow your speed down. I typically use a speed around 5-10
Thank you so much for this video! The store I'm purchasing my block from said to anneal it before use, but I was having a hard time finding a video that demonstrates how this is done. Thanks for covering the topic so well! They also recommend that if you live in a humid area and haven't used your block for a while you should place your block in a cast iron pan, place the pan on a burner of your kitchen stove, and gently heat the pan and charcoal block. This will allow any moisture your block has absorbed to gently escape as steam, rather than possibly causing cracks if the steam tries to escape while you're working on your block.
That is a great tip also about the humid environments.
Thank you so much for this review! I am a silversmith and just now researching starting up a PJ business. I really would like at least an 100c, however, I understand that may not be as portable. So I'm leaning towards this model. I do have a few questions though, does this have any way to program settings? If I want to upgrade at some point, do they have a trade in program? Sunstone seems to be the way to go regardless!
The 100 c isn’t as portable but it isn’t bad at all. Much better than a 200i. LOL. There is an upgrade/trade in option. This machine does not have the capabilities to store your programs or settings.
Thank you for breaking it down so well. You mentioned they are doing away with the older welders.. i have the PJ welder and was looking to purchase extension but have been debating on just ordering one of the colorful styluses since they are longer.. do you know if new stylus is compatible with the PJ welders as far as the plugin ports?
I will find out for you today. PJX starts today and I am here to teach.
Excellent video! There are a lot of mostly young ladies looking at this Permanent Jewelry business as I'll make a ton of money. My daughter is one of them. It's going to be a 2-3 year gig. When people realize they must remove their jewelry for X-rays, MRIs, etc.
Thank you. It can be great. And the jewelry is easily removed for medical procedures, and then they can easily be put back on if desired. I offer free re-welds for my customers that need them removed for medical reasons.
Could you make these to fit the A4 big shot plus?
Hmmmm, I don't have any experience with that. So I am not sure. I don't think you would have enough pressure though.
Boa tarde Melissa
Thanks Melissa. 😊

Hi! I’m wanting to engrave my own designs in paper to use in the rolling mill. Would this work or should I use a 40 watt laser? Thanks!
So sorry Mary, I am only now seeing this message. Yes, I would think you could make your own designs, but a 40 watt laser will give you far more possibilities.

I’m looking at benders but they seem to only go down to size 5. How do you make a ring that’s smaller than a size 5 US?
The Durston Ring benders go smaller and would be able to do what you need
