my hunch is that work on these items are outsourced to local artisans and not made by the shop owner herself

​

I'm happy to be corrected though. I would like to see the wire working rigs!

Rigs? Pliers, hands and dedication.

There's your rig.

I make wire trees. Same thing. Snips for cutting, hemostats with the serrations covered so it doesn't dent the metal for tougher bends and round nose serrationless pliers for more delicate bending

Well with all the people constantly posting their metalworking and shit like that on here they never do Post the vids of them doing it, and surely someone want to keep their technique secret or whatever but that's not what I'm asking for

I'm tired of people using this platform as a selling point for their own art without giving anything back

Why so aggressive? It's not like they posted a link to their shop here or something. Just coming off as a weird gatekeeping asshole.

Maybe you're projecting here, but there's a jewelry thread somewhere.

Isn't sharing cool creations they put their heart into upon a media sharing sub openly, and providing free videos talking about the creation process on the internet, "giving something back"?

Also, what are they "taking" from you by posting this?

Your devils advocate is neato, they can share it on anything. Attack someone else who cares for your platitudes.

Gotta say, this is the single most butt hurt example of jealousy I've seen on this site in years. You aren't owed anything by people sharing the cool stuff they make.

Ill never understand how people like you can be against self promotion. How the fuck else are people supposed to sell their stuff?

Do you also get angry at ads for not giving you free shit? Do you demand street vendors walk you through their process? Talk about entitlement, you didn’t build this platform and no one owes you a damn thing

Also, this is r/gifs ffs, get over yourself

Lots of metal like that can be put on rig systems to make it easier faster to make them
