Basement Workshop Tour
I've spent the last year or so fixing up a small room in my basement and turning it into a small workshop. I wanted to give people a tour of the space and talk a little on what I've done and what I have planned for the space in the future.

what gage wire do you use?
Nice demo , thank you
Interesting history lesson. I have several fine artists in the family and have struggled with the terms. Do I call myself a metalsmith, an artist, an enamelist? I primarily make jewelry, but can't really claim to be a "jeweler" with no formal education in the field. All of this terminology just contributed to imposter syndrome that, because I am mostly self taught, I already struggled with. I've had people say things like "Are you going to play in your studio?" Play, that term used to upset me because to me it was my work, but I get paid for "playing" every day in my home studio in beautiful rural Vermont surrounded by trees & wildlife. Your story helped me realize that the terminology has nothing to do with my abilities. I love what I do and regardless of what others may call me, I'm just going to keep playing. Thank you!
Really nice replica. What size rivet did you use for your replica? Thanks
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Hey, do you still have the template? Would you share with me?
I want to know how to make everything.
Looks more like a heater. lol But maybe there's a way to use a dimmer on the bulbs? 3 40 watt bulbs is pretty bright. Otherwise, great job!
Is it actually possible to cut 316L stainless steel with a jewelers saw? i've tried with two different types of blades without any success. Also, is there any solution to treat copper rings with that prevents them from corrosion while being safe for frequent skin contant?
Promo-SM
Looks great! Hey do you have a chop saw? I have an extra.
Or maybe I should pull it out of the mold earlier? Im listening right now to you talking about shrinking and bowing, so maybe the bubbles are happening as the front of the design is obviously drying last?
I’d try removing it from the mold earlier, it could be the bubbles are forming either from it shrinking at different rates or from air getting trapped between the foam and mold as it dries
If using a silicone mold for clay foam: if you get tiny bubbles...any idea to eliminate them? I have a heat gun. (Im doing filigree designs. Intricate scrolling detail) and the details are great, but it gets bubbles as it dries. Would heat while still wet or in the process of drying it help? Because iVe tried adding drops of water before working the clay. Ive tried pressing harder. Weights on top. Ive also tried waiting longer for it to cure. No luck. And I cant sand as Id lose the detail =/ Thank you! 😊
멋지십니다,so. Good
Thank you for sharing this! Very helpful. But one thing: it was so fast, I didn't understand how you revealed the inner folding parts. How did you saw them?
I have always wanted to do my own pin backs - now I can with your generous demo and hand out! Thank You!
Thank you! Love being able to print your hand out for my binder.
Hi ! Thank you so much for your video, I do have one question 😊 while im (In case if its important, i'm filing with a big vallorbe file G2, but it makes a horrible sound and its very difficult, almost impossible to file with it so i use the sanding paper, van you please help me to understand what im doing wrong? (curently using on a 1mm board some 0/3 saw blandes)
Thanks for commenting, my guess would be that the file you are using has too large of a tooth to it. You probably should switch to a finer file and make sure the piece you are trying to file is firmly pressed against a hard surface to help absorb any excess vibrations.
Hi sir its been long since you posted a video anyways am making my own thor vest ik its long ago u made it but i had a question that can it be made with cardboard?
Thanks for the video and the handout! I am finishing several brooches and wanted to make the pin myself but wasn't sure what wire to use for the pin - it's in my Amazon cart now. 👍
You can use a larger dapping punch to get the rivet to spread out a little just my 2 cents !
i love this movie,awesome key
Thanks so much! Great video; so easy to follow!
Bravo!!! That is real handmade with passion:)
thxs so much for this. When you were flaring the eyelet manually, could I use a countersink deburring drill bit and a drill press to slowly flare it like you did?( since I don't have your excellent manual skills to make it as even) lol Thx again for the very clear explaination♥☻☺
The deburring bit might cause too much damage to the tube, you could try a tool for flaring small copper tubing for fridge and water fountain water lines. You can find it in the plumbing section if most hardware stores
@@DrummerArtificerStudios Could you give me a name or a link since I've tried looking for such thing and no dice and because I'm working with tubes that are 3-6mm inner diameter or smaller, all those parts are way too large for it. thx again :) I also wonder if I can put a dabbing punch in the drill press and just very very slowly shape the open end... any thoughts? thx again ♥☻☺
Thank you for that great demo.
Would you consider sharing your template files and photos in case anyone might want to try making one of these?
hi, thank you ;)
Every dicipline has its gatekeepers and elitists. But it's the rebels that innovate and carry human civilization forward.
I was told by a professional artist (Painter)..."you are not really an artist, you are a highly skilled craftswoman". Although I have a great deal of respect for that person, his comment was instrumental in causing a loss of confidence. I have spent a great deal of my adult life learning and mastering several genres of artistic endeavour, and have come to the conclusion that I make art, therefore I am an Artist, a mixed media artist. However Articifer or Artificer, I like very much too! Thanks...follow your dreams!
You speak overtop of other speaking around the 6m20s mark. It makes what you are saying unintelligible
Do you have templates available for building Mjolnir like you did in the video please?
Custom Star Trek Picard </\>📽
I think I played your escape room at Grand Rapids Comic Con!
That would be the one. We want to go back with new rooms but Covid is making running escape rooms with large groups of total strangers kind of difficult.
Sucha a clear, wonderfully explained video. I love rivets. Thank you so much.
Good idea to solder together two plates. What kind of metal were they made of? Looks like you soldered them together with ease.
They are made of nickel silver and I used an extra easy silver solder.
Спасибо!
Unless you bring your camera closer we can't see the rivet in the counter sink.
Thank you so much for making this video! Your explanation of jump rings has really help me.
Great! Thank you very much! And if I want to put a tube between both plates around the rivet? Do I do the same with the tube in-between - will it hold well enough? Thank you very much! 🔥
To use a tube as a spacer between plates with a standard rivet you would do all the steps exactly the same. The tube simply makes it so you are putting a river in a “thicker” piece of metal. For practical purposes it is best for the tube to be just large enough for your river material to slid into it but you are not limited, the tube can be larger. You just run a chance of the spacer moving around on you as you set the rivet. It is also possible to use a tube spacer with the tube rivet. For either you just want to make sure that the spacer cannot pass through the hole drilled for the rivet. I will work on putting together a video for this for better explanation.
ah I see you have seen the Odin makes video... two yoga blocks.. sounds familiar...
Where it is true he was the first person I saw use the yoga blocks for Mjolnir, I did use them to make the hammer end of Stormbreaker three years ago. They are a great resource for large pieces of foam.
@@DrummerArtificerStudios well, whatever works.
Nice work and thank for the patterns , new sub Saludos!
Thanks!
dude you are awesome!!!
Thank You!
What is the blade sharpener you use??
I use two different sharpeners www.amazon.com/dp/B004EG066O/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MBQWH16YFKS88FNGHRYK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 www.amazon.com/dp/B00GXKL1TK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_3GWT577NA92T5WJ1Y6DC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
nice
I believe you can remoisten the clay in the container to keep it from drying out.
It may be possible but you have to be careful with how much water is put in. I know that exposure to too much water or prolonged exposure will actually dissolve and liquify the clay completely.
Thanks for the info. I am curious about the channel name.....is there a back story to the name? :-)
There is a back story to it which I am going to do a whole video on in the future. In short without many details, I had a love hate relationship with the Academic Art World and their tendency to look down on Metalsmiths as only being craftsmen and not true Artists.
@@DrummerArtificerStudios I cheer you on sir! I Look forward to it. :-)
Excellent video, this is going to make things easier for me, Cheers Simon ( Newbie jewelry maker )
Thanks Simon, I have quite a few more Jewelry Technique videos coming in the near future. If there is something specific you need help with feel free to send me a message.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
