Jewelry Making Safety Tips
I'm DJ Poye, professional Jeweler and Gemologist and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to talk a little bit about safety. When I come to the bench, if I'm going to use my torch or something, I wear other glasses like these safety glasses and stuff, mostly because of fire scale popping or small piece of the boric acid that, that you dip your piece in, to eliminate the fire scale so it won't pop on your face and stuff. But I've been wearing Opti-Visors for years and they are to optimize the piece to make it larger. So, I've been so used to wearing these for so many years. There are definitely more tools out there, higher quality but I guess you just get used to what you get used to.
