One of the finer "How To" jewelry making DVD's I have come across. The camera angels are complimentary to the project. This DVD perfect to learn new techniques and use tools properly. Easy to follow Revere during project. This project is beginning to intermediate.
Really Excellent. Camera Views were great, audio excellent, material is just what a beginner such as myself wants to learn and it is done in very professional manner. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn jewelry making.
This was much better than I had expected. He really covered the basics well. There are a lot of things that I do wrong or maybe not in the most efficient way. Sometimes I'm reinventing the wheel because no one is guiding me. He had some really good hints. One of the things I learned was to be more patient. He took what seemed to me forever sawing out the pattern of the earrings. I always feel a speed fairy on my shoulder saying 'Are you still at that same thing'? I'm going to have to call the Zen fairy in. Revere is absolutely right when he says that whatever step I'm at is the most important step. His sawing techniques are good. He seemed a very pleasant person. Why did I expect a grouch? Crazy!
very good instructions and very good visuals. will look forward to watching more of his tutorials.
As always Alan Revere produces a top-notch instructional video. Easy to see and understand. Highly recommend.
This video almost didn't get rented because I thought it would be too elementary. The title Japanese Pattern Earrings limits the scope; you could use any pattern (the demo looked like a Celtic knot) and don't need to limit the technique to earrings. The guts of the matter are layout, piercing, sawing (you watch a lot of sawing), cleaning and polishing. There are grinding and polishing bits in my toolbox that weren't being used because, until now, I didn't know their potential. Good video with many tips for improving your saw work. After viewing the video I went back and nit picked work previously labeled finished.
Great teacher. Love to learn from him. Look forward to future lessons.
Wonderful DVD. Lots of information that would include silver work as well as gold. Very well done!
Revere rocks!!! His techniques and his constant search for realistic perfection are demonstrated throughout this DVD - I can heartily recommend it.
