Using SILVER CLAY for the very first time! Start making silver clay jewelry

It happened... I finally tried SILVER CLAY! Basia, but what's the big deal, you may ask? Well, I tend to procrastinate, when something is slightly intimidating for me, a mindset I'm trying to change in 2024 and make myself try all the things I always wanted, but felt scared. Silver clay is quite expensive, so my fear was kind of justified - I didn't want to mess it up and waste the clay. But, h...

    Those small torches are going to explode. I've melted them and they still didn't explode. Acetylene, on the other hand, is a bit dangerous. So, use the proper safety measures and always use flashback arrestors.

    I would have to make $100 profit off of 30 sales I make a month to be able to pay just my rent in US. I bet your rent is not even 2/5 of it. Your items were priced normally for really basic stones that cost $1-$3

      Please refer to my response to your previous comment. You're completely wrong 👍 ETA: maybe don't bet? You could ask and find out, before making incorrect assumptions, which actually makes you sound rude.

  • @iloveyouyas
    @iloveyouyas 4 дні тому

    I bet these materials or your rent do not cost as much as they do in US, so pricing them same amount as US sellers does not make sense. I thought they were priced high for a beginner in Poland

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing 4 дні тому

      I lived in the UK for 7 years, during that time I started and grew my jewelry business. Prices and cost of living in the UK can be even higher than in the US. Also, prices in Poland are very similar to the US anyway, so even if I were a beginner here, this would still be applicable.

    I just got one and it must be a dud. The draws on mine are nowhere near as smooth as what you have shown. They are not tracking properly and have far too much side movement. the top draw sticks out by 5mm and the bottom draw is difficult to open. I guess mine was made Friday afternoon. I have to buy new rails and fix this thing as it's frustrating to get anything out of the draws.

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing 8 днів тому

      Oh no... I'm so sorry to hear that! Before you try to fix it yourself, please contact Pepetools customer service. Don't void your warranty before contacting them. From what I've heard they're quite responsive and I'm sure they'll try to help. It's worth a shot, especially when the product doesn't meet your basic expectations 🙏

    • @wetcat833
      @wetcat833 8 днів тому

      @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing That's good advice, unfortunately it cost me A$550 to have it shipped to Outback Western Australia so returning it is more than problematic. The table is nice but the draws are so badly aligned that I have to open the middle draw and put my hand underneath to open the bottom draw. When I saw how easily your draws glided, I knew that I was just unlucky. Pepetools contacted me a couple of hours ago as I left a bad review, wanting more info on my problem. I've sent them a video with me trying to open the draws and am waiting for their response. I have good carpentry and mechanical skills so it's not something I have done. I just got it this morning so I'm a bit disheartened. That's why I have been looking up videos about the table and I stumbled on to your channel. At least you got a new subscriber out of the deal :)

    • @wetcat833
      @wetcat833 8 днів тому

      @@TheArtOfMetalsmithing PS. I've just rewatched your video and I noticed that your table has totally different draw rails than I have. Mine look simpler and flimsier than yours. I guess they've been doing a bit of cost cutting on their later stock. Not cool.

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing 8 днів тому

      That's not good... But I'm glad they contacted you and hopefully they'll be able to help! I think they should send you new rails, because obviously exchanging the table is nearly impossible at this point, especially that you're so far away. I really hope it will be sorted, it's a shame you experienced this situation. But yeah, I think sending the rails would be the best solution, so fingers crossed they might do that. Good luck! Let us know how it ends 🙏
