Hi there all metalsmith friends,

I hope you are keeping safe and well, wherever you are in the world.

Keeping the feelings positive, I made a free tutorial as a project to work on.

It shows a pear shape off really well, which is a bit tricky sometimes, especially when the pear is mounted sideways.

Check it out on my website, and if you want, there is a link at the bottom of the web page for the PDF, which I'll send to you.

TOOL TIP


I made this jewelers holding clamp tool. It's perfect to use on this project making it easier to hold the disk. It's an optional tool. You can simply hold the disk against your peg when doing the piercing work.

Here is the instruction on how I made the jewelers clamp tool.

Wishing good vibes for all,

Hans
