What is the name of the tool that you made the triangular ice pick bell with? I tried to find it on your website, but I couldn’t thank you in advance
Very straightforward and helpful. Thank you

Thank you for watching! And yes, we ship to Denmark!
Enjoyed the video. A close up including the pieces you had displayed would have been nice.

What the best wire to use and can you do the same thing with change
It would depend on the project you are working on. The beading wire used in this video is Accu-Flex® Beading Wire. It is a great beading wire for these types of projects and we would recommend using these types of crimps with beading wire for best results. Here is the link to the Accu-Flex®: www.firemountaingems.com/jewelry-supplies/stringing-material/beading-wire/accu-flex-beading-wire/?pageType=CLP
Great tips. I’m a newby and all tips are welcomed. Good info , 32:46
Thanks for watching!
Why a 45 degree cut? I’m confused
The 45 degree cuts are cut in opposite directions which allows the ends of the roll to overlap each other slightly instead of having two flat ends bumped up against each other. It will help keep the seam together and makes the seam cleaner.
@@FireMountainGems that makes sense, thank you for replying
I have trouble with crimp covers. They slice through my wire. The ones i have have very sharp edges.
Very helpful! I particularly liked how you showed how to crimp a chain and how to ensure equal lengths between illusion necklaces.

What was the name of the last bail you showed with the double loop? I think that's what I need. I just received a memorial necklace of my Dad's thumbprint along with a Dad charm and his birthstone charm, and it is always twisting, so you don't always see the fronts. It is 3 charms on a chain. It is fine sterling silver, I believe? I want to place an order, and I have many things sitting in my cart waiting to see which bail I should get. I hope I hear from someone. Thank you.
The last bail is called a Rabbit Ear Bail. That could potentially prevent the twisting. Just be sure that the bail is large enough to accommodate the chain/cord and that the charms have loops going the correct direction to face forward when connected to the bail. Here is a link to our Rabbit Ear Bails: bit.ly/4b9znA7 Please let us know if you have any questions!
@FireMountainGems Thank you. I think I found what I need so I'll put in an order.

Hi, thanks for the great video. What product would be the best for protecting small machine embroidery on fabric. So the threads wont be torn and to leave a matte or glossy look? Thank you!
One option you could try is Mod Podge. Here are the two that we carry: Starter Pack: www.firemountaingems.com/4650BS.html Gloss Mod Podge: www.firemountaingems.com/4649BS.html Most of our other sealants are for use in jewelry making, but there are other fabric sealers and spray sealers that you can find online.
Thank you. I'm just now getting into doing this. 😊
Good luck! Thank you for watching! 😊
WHAT SIZE THREAD AND NEEDLE ARE YOU USING
I have not yet done riveting as far as cool connections goes. I would like to explore hot connections like working with silver clay, and the kiln. I am however blind do you think either of those would be a real problem? I guess the better question might be is what things might I try in order to make the kiln accessible to me? And is there somewhere where I can get hands-on exposure to a kiln and how to use it? Thank you for any help you can provide.
Hi
Hello! 😊
The fishook clasp the Filigree where did you get it, it looks exactly like the pearl necklace clasp I got my Girlfriend and it just broke. I don't think she knew how to pinch it to unlock the clasp, but I have it and I have to get it fixed.
Hello! all of the products shown in our videos are sold on our website at www.firemountaingems.com/ If you are looking for the gold filigree fishhook clasp shown at 8:40 on the video here is a link to that specific clasp: www.firemountaingems.com/2759FY.html Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi, I'm new to bead looming and I'm glad I found your channel.
So glad you found us! Thanks for watching! 😊
Wow I just stumbled across your video and it's exactly what I need somebody's looking out for me. I work with wood I'm gonna make one of these It won't be the same but I've been using puzzle boxes to keep the beans from falling on the floor but this is genius. Thank you
Sounds like a great idea! Good luck with your design! 😊
You had me at demystified😅 Perfect opening paragraph, grabbed me right away. Question about face Shields. I did get a really good pair of eye protection where my eyes are completely sealed so nothing can get in. I look like I'm going skiing, but I don't care. I want to protect my eyes at all costs. My question is, can I use the covid face Shields?. I mean I'm not making Thor's hammer.
You will want to make sure to follow any safety guidelines listed on your torch. The top priority is protecting your eyes with appropriate eye protection. As for covering your face, it depends what kind of covid face shield you are referring to. If you are using a full face plastic shield, that could help protect your eyes and face along with eye protection. If you are referring to the standard covid masks that cover the nose and mouth, then they could provide a small amount of protection to the mouth and nose, but if you are torching something that gives off any fumes, these masks may not be designed to filter those specific chemicals. If you are using it to protect against toxic fumes, be sure to ensure that the type of mask you are using is rated to protect again the type of fumes you may be creating. In that case it would most likely require a respirator over a covid mask. Again, in either case, be sure to refer to the safety guidelines on your torch or material you are working with. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Glad to be the first one to comment in a 11 yr. old video
😂The video was just waiting for the right person. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@FireMountainGems Thanks for the tutorial! :33
Ma
What silver beads do you recommend that won’t tarnish?
Hello! It would depend on the application. Sterling silver beads are great to work with, but will eventually tarnish over time. Fine silver beads will last significantly longer before any tarnishing. For an economical choice, you could also look at silver plated beads. These would give more of the fine silver look, but they will tarnish over time. For most designs that are meant to be worn consistently, sterling silver beads would be a great place to start. Here is a link to all of our silver beads: www.firemountaingems.com/beads/beads-by-type/metal-beads/silver-beads/?prefn1=web-category&prefv1=Beads
