The burnisher is a tool, which is made by my self. I build three or four of them in different sizes. They are made of steel and it is very easy to build them - never bought one. The dimension depends on the size of the work - the size of the stone. Smaller ones need a smaller forefront. Keep in mind they need to be polished and take care when practicing. If you never did it before, practice a lot before you go to the real stuff. Mario Hello Nina!

I'm sorry for the late answer - had to do a bunch of work and set up a new forum on web (new entry - http://forum.goldschmiede-links.de/ - German language, sorry ;-) ) The violin-project is putted on ice so far - at a studiobreaking the ratfinks took the original first violin i made with them. This will take some time to pursue. Please feel free to correct my English where ever you'll find mistakes - you are welcome with this! And yes, most tools are made in Germany - but not all. I also own some tools from Glendo Corp. Emporia, KS They are very good and i like them a lot. I hope i can post some pictures soon. Best to you Hello Daryoush!

A quick question - where did you get this type of burnisher? There are a lot of different burnishers on the market, would like to get a right one for the job. Thank you Very good video.

SINCE I RECEIVED YOUR EMAIL, I WATCHED YOUR FOUR PART SERIES ON MAKING A SS VIOLIN. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE A MASTER AT WORK. NO WASTED MOTIONS WHILE YOU WORKED. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO POST THE REMAINING EPISODES? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PICTURES OF YOUR WORKSHOP, AND IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD POST PICTURES OF YOUR TOOLS. I BELEIVE MOST OF YOUR TOOLS ARE GERMAN MADE. OR DO YOU ALSO SHOP OVER THE INTERNET? I'LL BE ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN ALL THAT YOU CAN TEACH THE REST OF US. FOR CERTAIN A GERMAN EDUCATION IS CENTERED AROUND BEING EXACT IN ALL THAT YOU DO. IF YOU WOULD LIKE I CAN EDIT YOUR ENGLISH TEXTS AS A FORM OF PARTIAL REPAYMENT. BEST DARYOUSH HI MARIO;

Thank you for the kind words! I am very pleased about them. It is so cool to hear about people, which enjoy the process of making jewelry. The Locksmith Hammer: you can watch it here for example ottofrei.com/store/product.php?productid=6027&cat=0&page=1 The terms may differ in different countries :-) The distance to Frankfurt is about 217 kilometers (air-line distance). Must be three and a half hours with a car. All the best to you and yours! Mario Hello Daryoush!
