Thank you for this …
Thank you for this video. I’m sorry there are idiots out there commenting on here. This beginning video is perfect and freakin hi-tech as can be for someone in Lanesboro. My friend even hesitated to show me in person, it takes lots of patience and time and effort. Its not something you can learn by just one video anyway. Thanks for continuing Scandinavian culture in Minnesota!

It’s not perfect, but thanks to the visual, I can DO this now! This is a great basis for building off of. ( I never just use only one source anyway.) There are hundreds of websites that will help with other aspects of this. So he doesn’t have to cover EVERYTHING there is to know. And yes. I”m sure he would like you to take the class too, but he was nice enough to show us this much for FREE.
Stop being so rude.

Hi Kary, I hope you …
Hi Kary, I hope you check your You Tube often. I would like to make this chain for a project for my Silversmithing class, but am finding it difficult to find your Videos 2 and 3 that are supposedly available on your website. I do not see them listed. I need to complete the project by next Monday. I am in Kansas City, so unfortunately cannot take classes from you–but would love to!
Thanks,
Jenny

Diving in through …
Diving in through the crap being thrown about….. I absolutely enjoyed your tutorial. Being a knitter, this was totally understandable. I have seen pictures of the ‘old’ artifacts and have always wondered about what looked like a twisted knit stitch I-cord in yummy silver/gold metals. Thank you for your time and expertise. The kindergarten class members need just to go back to manners/ettiquette for a review. Lovely work.

I say ole chap do excuse me. The symphony I hired to do the background music dipped into the champagne while the film crew was setting up. I had to send them all home, insurance liability and all. BTW you have lovely manicured fingernails. :=)

Like many ” …
Like many “instructional” video’s, plenty of self indulgent wafffle…safety goggles…watch the cat dont get in the way, then a quick, blurry bit of actually how to do it….AND in this case, the guy tried to sell the remainding parts of the ‘how to’. (what an a*ss). Promote your products/business yes, but utube aint for direct selling of video material.
An amateur’ly filmed, bad instructional video, from a greedy guy.

As an experienced ( …
As an experienced ( 25 yrs)Designer Goldsmith, I can testify that there are no other jewelry techniques that require such a minimal amount of tools with such a grand result. Your $50.00 for the video set is an investment well spent.

You may also …
You may also consider that our bricks and mortar version of the class is $150.00 We have taught this class at The North House Folk School, The Vesterheim Norwegian Museum and The clearing Folk School in Door County. Our feedback forms given the class rave reviews! Many of my students have made recouped their investment selling the artwork from this technique.

I agree, if you put …
I agree, if you put it in the context of $20.00 for 3 minutes of instructional video content, it may sound expensive. However, the content in the second video did not take 3 only minutes to make.
It is the result of teaching this technique for 12 years. Articulating that experience into a working script and 40 + hours of video and editing. Not to mention the hours spent in the creation of a webpage that allows you to download the video directly to your computer without any shipping charges.

Having the page magnification setting above 75% or 100% may be taking your vertical scroll bar out of your view.
Please, let me know if this was any help?

Is your internet browser set to enlarge the view, like 125% 150% ECT?
My mother has problems with her eyesight and has hers set to 200%. You will need to reset the defaults in your web browser program (Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari)
In Internet explorer you will see a magnifying glass icon with a + sign in the lower right corner with a 100% (some other setting beside it).
