Stone Setting Tips and Tricks with Blaine Lewis

He is absolutely amazing at his art. No matter how technical it may seem ,this truly is a form of art that literally reigns amongst the masters of jewelry making. Genius craftsmanship.

Thank you very much sir I learned so much and I'm going to continue to watch your videos I'm going to continue my lessons from what you're giving us and I appreciate it very much thank you sir you're awesome keep up the great work 👍

Me: "time to take the pliers, think about your ex and SQUEEZE" (it actually works, the metal will bend around the gemstone)

I hate how backed up your classes are, im right down the street and wanna go soo badly!!!!

Brilliant -Thankyou very much

So glad I found you! I've learned so much from this video and can't wait to try out your hints and tips. 😁

When your metal is to the right temp to anneal, a magnet will not stick to the hot metal. Than wrap it in ceramic wool and it will the softest it can get. I'm a blacksmith knife maker, besides jeweler .

Awesome, is there more?????

like you video well explain

Very useful information, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i am cad designer, do i need to cut these prongs in cad ?

He us an incredible teacher. He speaks clearly, demonstrates perfectly and does a great job of presenting new ideas to his audience.

Thanks great camera work and well explained.

That was SO HELPFUL! I'm no where near your skill level and am only silversmithing semi precious stuff and it's all very soft! Every bit of this video has so much good info but so glad I watched too the end! that last tip is going to help me infinitely in my current projects! Thanks a bunch!

Very informative.. Thanks

What are you holding the smaller with?

Very informative and I have learned a lot from watching this video. Thank you. I'm subscribing.

Great video. You’re really easy to listen to. Kinda like the curly haired painter who paints happy trees and clouds. Just a awesome teacher

That was amazing! I thought it was going to be a short video but I couldn't stop watching once I started. Some day, I'd like to be a proficient stone setter and I found your tips very useful. Since I'm nervous about messing up the stone during clean-up and polishing, I really like the idea of making a cup bur as well as annealing a file to protect the stone. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and talent. This was EXCELLENT!👍

I got all Swiss files !

Thank you for the information sir

Thank you for sharing such valuable information! Your grasp of visual examples made everything u said very clear and understandable. I very much appreciate your time and hope to see more of your similar content!

Hi, what tool do you use to hold the stone? What is That wax like thing that you attach the stone to put in place?

Hi, Do you have an update list of your links to the items you are promoting?

Super!

Great video this is a very hopeful tutorial in every shape of the way

Thanks! Super!

Thank you sharing your knowledge and experience with us , it’s a pleasure to watch you . Please can you , or anyone else , advise if any precautions are needed when adapting steel tools in your jewellery making area? I was once told that I couldn’t even use a tool on precious metal again if it had been used on steel, as it would contaminate and the harder steel particles would interfere with attempts to polish . Thanking you again . 😊

Great video, thanks

A small container of fresh pickle overnight will also dissolve drill bits.

Loved that last tip thx!

me gusta su manera de explicar es muy buen maestro felicidades buen trabajo

Thank you, just so much information. One to watch and rewatch again! I’m sure parts of this will replay in my brain as I stumble across a difficulty. Great help and no hard sell, just a confident statement that this tool or adaptation will solve the problem. Many thanks. Keith.

You’re awesome sir
