Little friendly advice from the United States, wear a mask or you’re gonna get really really sick

Wonderful. It’s almost the first time I see someone operating correctly the oxygen torch. Most of the times, the people including schools and professionals insists to do it in the wrong sequence, leading always to dangerous operations as explosions ( shutting the combustible before the oxygen will automatically make a super lean flame, drive the flame to enter the nozzle, leading sometimes to explosion)

What kind of acid did you put the silver in?

Thanks for your video and it was entertaining.

If the oxygen from the concentrator as pure as commercial cylinder oxygen. It appears to be as good.

Ive used this smith torch for several years and Im getting fed up of the excess costs of 5kg oxy bottles fees, rental, VAT etc! Think I might invest in one of these units. I see they offer a version with a connector especially for the Smith torch as well which is nice. Thanks for the demonstration! Glad to know it can work with the largest nozzle.

Try an HHO torch + electrolysis machine. They cost about the same (if not less) and you only need electricity and water.

Hello friends nice work 🙏 Have a great day 🔔🔔🔔❤️

Beautiful work I am support your Chanel subscribe ❤️ have a great day 🔔🔔🙏

Thank you so much for this recording, very helpful

This is a terrible video. I cant tell what your doing. Are yu a hobby jeweler? Everything here seems so amature. You should check out some of the professional jewery videos that are available. Like Gnome or Andrew Berry you might learn something from them.

I have been watching this system for a while, I generally have some small brands and often the propane is insufficient. I saw something like this on Amazon but in size with about € 150, max 7 liters of flow per minute, maximum purity at 95% with only 1 liter minute. Could my question be suitable for a small torch? Are there other parameters to consider? Considering that I would only use it a few times in a year, how long will it last? Maintenance? Thank you very much, if needed I can provide a link (Amazon Italy).

I would have liked to see the connectors between e concentrator and the torch hose. Can you describe it? Is is just the barbed connectors that can be pressed into a bare hose end?

I just came across your videos today, and I'm so glad that I did! They're informative, charming, and outright charming. What a lovely treasure trove of videos!

Great information thanks mal .

It’s called The Smith’s Little Torch to be precise…🙄😂 Loads of cheap fake replicas out there, be careful An adjustable propane regulator with gauges is also useful. Gives you precise measurement of pressure and let’s you know how much gas is left..

Thank you so much Phil for this video! It was very helpful. I'm about to set up my smith's little torch with an oxygen condensator and gas bottle and for some reason this really scares me. Your video helped me a lot :)

You need to try some fabulustre also. Great for soft stone. And yes you can use both for metal.

Wow. Great little video. A few points, some of which may answer questions from your commentors. You can get a reversible, adjustable steel ingot mold with it's own clamp for about $35 to $45 at jewelry equipment suppliers or on ebay. Makes great little bars and flat sheets for use in your rolling mill. Lubricate with a thin coating of WD-40 or a can of ingot mold lubricant. First, NEVER use steel or iron tools in your pickle (Pickle is acid). Only copper tongs/tweezers or copper wire hooks. Iron/steel contaminates the pickle. A lesson in chemistry....When you eat the black cupric (copper) oxides off of the pieces you have soldered, that copper remains dissolved in the liquid acid. When you add iron to the mix, it creates a little problem. If you then later add a silver piece to iron contaminated pickle, the copper will chemically plate itself to the silver, leaving it a nice, shiny pink, and if left long enough, will start to blacken. You can't eat the copper back off. It must be sanded, filed, or ground off. You will say a lot of bad words when you do this, especially if it is a complicated, intricate piece. Empty your pickle and start with fresh. Even the little steel springs inside bracelet, chain clasps, or lever back earrings can gradually cause a contamination. A quick swish might not be so bad, but don't leave them in long. Some say nickel will also do this to your pickle, (sometimes called nickel silver or german silver, there is no silver in either, it's just pure nickel. Do not breathe nickel fumes while soldering or grinding if you use it instead of silver. Can cause metal fume fever or worse. Nickel can also cause skin rashes in some people). I have never noticed it to affect my pickle when I have used nickel. There is also a different formula of pickle some use for it, called, of course, nickel pickle....Some use this formula for brass, bronze, copper, and imitation gold alloys. (I find regular pickle ok for the copper alloys, but with yellow brass and yellow colored bronzes, it will only eat the black cupric oxide off, and leave a red layer on the surface. To eat the red off, mix dry granular pickle with hydrogen peroxide. It will get a little warm, and stirring helps, but will remove the red layer. Don't leave it in too long or it will replate the red back on thick.) My favorite pickle is sodium bisufate dry granular acid (HNaO4S), mix a couple tablespoons in about a pint of water. Pickle also comes under some brand names, like Sparex, Black Magic, etc. Always add acid to water, never water to acid. I remember it in alphabetical order. A comes before W, acid to water. Adding it the other way, water to acid, can create a sometimes violent exothermic reaction and heat up your glass container so fast it can explode. Not likely to happen with such a weak acid as pickle, but you never know. You can get the dry granules anywhere that sells jewelry supplies, or sometimes at pool supply stores. When it starts turning blue or green or the copper starts plating your silver pieces, change out your pickle. Pickle left to itself uncovered will dry up, can sometimes create dentritic crystals as it condenses, which will climb up out of your jar and all over your countertop. Clean up with water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Baking soda neutralizes acid. (Mix a spray bottle with 1/4 cup baking soda to 4 cups water and keep it handy. You can scatter dry baking soda on larger acid spills.) Apply until it stops fizzing, then all the acid is done. Pickle is not going to immediately burn your skin, (Unless you have a cut or open skin , then it stings pretty good!) but I don't recommend getting it on you. Always protect your eyes when using chemicals. If you get it on clothing, and it dries, the next time you wash that garment, the spots will probably dissolve away the fabric wherever it splashed and leave some nice holes. Pickle works best when quite warm. There are several varieties of pickle heating pots available. Use good ventilation in your shop, don't breathe the fumes. Always keep a lid on your pickle to reduce the fumes and help control evaporation. I use a coffee cup warmer with a 500ml glass beaker and a blue plastic beaker lid. Don't let it cook dry, always turn off your pot when not in use. Always clearly label your chemical jars, flux bottles, rinse water containers, etc.

Can you list what materials you have?

thank you sir , do we need a flashback arrestor for oxygen generator or not!?

Can I use Zam with my leather wheel?

Before even watching I want to say I am grateful for your knowledge.

Do you still make view my friend

You can use oxygen and propane with the smiths little torch with all nozzles, and you can use butane also.

Why aren't you making more vedios?

where can you get it from in the uk

I want cost

What torch you using?

I’m all over this stuff like a hobo on a hotdog ty again

Thank you I have been looking for something I could buy at a local store and thank goodness they sell this . I will buy cerium oxide but I have to order on line and I need the wife for that

Ha... clicked play and I hear "go". Nice video. Thank you.

Nice

Is Zam all you really need to polish a stone? Do you need anything else except for the drill and the drill bits?

So the secret is to load the felt wheel by going slow with the Dremel tool. This stuff is hard,, not a paste and I tried to load the felt but used high speed to load it and it just flew all over. Yes.. its great stuff once you find out how to use it. So heating is not necessary as I was considering. Thanks!

Ventilation?

ok let’s see part 2

good demo. but when the head finally pops off the cotton buffing wheel, the comedy portion of this bit goes to 11. i use ZAM on turquoise, chrysocolla, etc, and the results are remarkable. just starting out though.

Thanks for the great info I'm trying to get everyone on youtube who are selling gems, rocks and stones to open up a new website like eBay but for lapidarist, I am getting sick of all of eBay's crap and overcharging and would like any ideas you have to offer on selling rocks, etc. I have had it with eBay and want to end their reign as rock sellers I know it will be an uphill battle but like I said there must be away. Thank you, Marty Hinnenkamp

Thankyou for including one of our oxycons in your video. Although when using propane your set up will operate without one, we do highly recommend using a flashback arrestor as an extra safety precaution. A flashback arrestor isn't needed with the oxycon as there is one built into the system. Thanks again.

Great video thanks

People in this industry as well as rockhounding are so generous! I just made a deal, and hopefully it goes through, to trade some samples of rocks for a set of lapidary machines! Thank you for you awesome educational videos, ill be watching them all!

G’day mate I’m from Tasmania and work on a 6 wheel cab machine you might want to change your wheel settings two hard wheels on one side and two soft on the other will unbalance your machine mate 👍👍

Hi, I have a Loritone Stainless Steel 8" Arbor & it has the flat Polishing Heads at each end. Can these heads be used for the final polishing? And how do I use them? Also, does anyone know if there is an instruction video on how to use the Loritone Stainless Steel 8" Arbor machine? This video is done on a Classic Loriton without the side Polishing heads.

Does Zam work on hard stones like agates and jasper?

I use Zam to polish my silver when making jewelry. First I use Bobbing compound, then Zam. Zam is useful for polishing stones (not fine jewelry) when they start to lose their shine. When cutting cabochons, I use diamond paste on felt for a final polish, 15,000 grit or higher, then set it in my silver jewelry. Rock on!

No spark arrester ?

Do you want my old bench for free 2" thick Birch 8 feet long 24" deep . It in good shape like new.

Is the wig a special jewellery tool? How do you use it?
