Free Video Tutorials

Hello everyone!

Several months ago I began thinking about adding some video tutorials to my website. I wanted to produce videos on the basics of wire wrapping and wiresmithing. Todays the day that I unveil 3 of those videos.

The first three videos are designed to take the mystery out of wiresmithing. I feel that this new technique is of great value to the jewelry art world.

A word though before you view them...I know that the intro music is horrible. it's the best I could do at this time. In the future, I plan to work on something better.

So...drum roll please (cue cheesey drumroll). Here are the very first wiresmith videos, i hope that you enjoy them.

Video 1 - This is a basic Q and A that answers the question "What is Wiresmithing?" It explains just how simple the wiresmith concept is.

 

Video 2 -  Before you can begin to work, you need to understand the tools and materials needed. This video gives you an understanding as to what is needed.

 

Video 3 - With all of that out of the way we can get down to business. If you've never seen wiresmithing done, here's your chance.

So there you have it. The basics of wiresmithing. I hope that you enjoyed it. Please let me know what you think by emailing me at jim.mcintosh@macjewels.com.

'til next week.

Jim McIntosh
