    Thank you for your tips on de burring jewelry. I have not taken any jewelry making classes and have managed to sell my designs. I would like to make my costume jewelry more professional looking and I really appreciate your informative video

    This is the best info yet. I have been having a lot of trouble getting rid of burrs. I used a fine sanding block, too. It does a very good job. I tried the needle files, but they don’t work that well. I end up with worse burrs than I had before. I will be trying these tips in the video. Thanks much.

    Thank you, very helpful. I am wondering if I just use a tumbler will that take care of the burrs? Or do I still need to file (and then tumble?)

      Hi WB, I would personally use an acrylic nail file to take off the burr, and then tumble. When it’s something going in someone’s ear, I don’t mind spending the extra time :)
      But if it was a headpin or something else, I’d just do a quick file to get most of it, then tumble it.

    After this video reached about the 2:06 point, the video stopped. One of those little circles that appear when something is downloading showed up and it just kept spinning around. Would have liked to have seen the rest of the video as what I did see was very informative.

    How do you know what size cup bur to buy for a certain size wire. For example, if I’m using a 20 gauge wire for a ring and I want to smooth down the ends, what cup bur size would I use. Thank you
