Using a ball bur to add texture to a ring. This hammer-like texture is ideal for when you have the perfect size ring and don’t want to make it too large by hammering. It’s also a great one for students to try early on to help them develop bur control for stone setting later on

Roller printing with texture plates. Finding the right distance between your rollers may take a few tries. It should feel like a solid cardio workout, not a powerlifting competition

Absolutely love these small bow closing pliers from @gessweinco (item #180-0006) they work a treat for closing heavy bezels and with the outer jaw being made from brass they don’t leave nasty marks on your work. #toolporn #jewelrytools

I love the 3M polishing papers from @riogrande - no polishing machine or tumbler required - at just over $1 a sheet it’s a pretty cheap hand job Sand to 1000 grit sandpaper, followed by 1200, 4000, 6000 and 8000 grit polishing paper for a mirror finish. Remember to sand on a flat surface and change direction with each grit. Do not move onto another grit until your current grit has removed all the marks left by the previous grit.

Having trouble with using solder pick? When flux is cold it’s hard like glass...... What it’s hot it’s liquid like water....... When it’s in-between it’s like treacle, treacle is yummy and STICKY (don’t eat the flux ok) What this means is when you want to pick up the solder you need the flux on your pick to be like treacle - sticky, not to hot and not too cold, but just right! When you want to place the solder on a join, you need to heat the pick while you’re placing the solder so the flux becomes liquid and easily releases the solder.
