Can u do this with old copper pipe from a house?
Beautiful. Amasing introduction explaining measurements. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.🙏💕💕
id be worried the copper would get all tarnished and nasty and start turning green/brown... stainless steel doesnt... and also much more closely matches the color of silver... jmo... maybe you got a reason and solution for using copper?
What are the dimensions of the metal. Love the tutorial.
did I see a dremel 3000 there?
Thanks for the share, you had to solder three times, what solders did you use?
Nice vid! There is no need for the inner tube to be so thick, the structure of the ring is very solid already
I too, had that same thought: if you start with fine silver, can you avoid all the heating and pickling process?
Hello! Love your cuff and hope you can help me ? I’m not sure what length I need to cut the silver because if I’m adding a gap then can’t I cut the silver shorter because of the gap? I’m using low dome wire so I don’t want to cut anymore than I have to because it’s shaped and expensive. If it was just flat sheet it wouldn’t matter cause I could melt it down but want to save as much as I can of this shape wire.
Well as a general rule of thumb: For a seven inch wrist you would want 6 inches of low dome wire and have a 1 inch gap. For a 6.5 inch wrist you would need 5.75 of silver and a 0.75 inch gap. Also remember that these type of cuffs are quite adjustable and the gap can be expanded or contracted to allow for a more custom fit. Good Luck
Brilliant. Thank you so much 🙏💞
Thank you… 😊
Using the flex shaft to set the edge of the bezel with the stone in place, must generate heat. Isn't there a concern about using this for stones that could be affected by heat?
This technique mainly for diamonds, rubies and sapphires they can not only resist the heat but with care the set stone can be soldered onto a piece of jewelry. i used these rubies in a piece in these video ua-cam.com/video/k4wJFXe2NdM/v-deo.html
What mitre jig do you recommend? Mine sucks and it wasn’t cheap, from Otto Frei!
Thanks for your videos. I started in copper and now am adding silver to my work. I have been hesitant to make copper rings as the closer copper is to the skin, the more sweat, the more skin discoloration. Do you sell these? What are customer reactions to the copper inside? What’s The price point difference between silver over copper vs all silver rings?
I would love to see more classes on anticlastic forming. I have looked everywhere and can't find many classes online and traveling is so expensive. You are such a good teacher.
You melted the edge!!!! Yea you!! Amazing! Brutalist! Totally my style! Right on! 👍
Hey Pat, I watched this video in follow up to your reticulum video and just wanted to see you finish the cuff. I was a little surprised that you didn’t annealing the cuff between every round. The cuff got so hard and out of shape I was, as I said… surprised! I thought you were pretty lucky it didn’t break. It turned out beautiful though! I would have loved to see you melt the edges! Maybe on another video? Thanks for the share!
Thank you!
Safety first. Never wear gloves when polishing or grinding. Nice bracelet. Neat concept.
Why no gloves?
What is "sticky gluie stuff"?
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I've taken classes from Michael Good and Cynthia Eid and yours looks just as nice!
Really good "Look"... At the end how much do you get for each of the bracelets
the reason why it is not showing dark oxide layers is because drawing the copper to the surface and etching it away leaves you with pure silver, which does not oxidize. so its just white metal. thats called depletion.
great work !!! what is the thickness of the metal?
You do know that one side will have cured corners and the other side will be square, I'm wondering????
Yes, I designed it that way, have you seen the finished product, I like the look. Also it makes it a bit easier to make, 90 degree corners are not always easy to produce.
Der Deckel gehört bombiert.
Very beautiful.
Nice! Very clear. I’m perplexed by solder and metals and what solder goes with what metal.
I love the earrings ❤❤❤ okay back to the video, Michelle
I really loved it! Beautiful piece! Do you think it could be done using german silver instead of copper? Should I try using flux in that case? Thank you for teaching us this great technique.
I have never worked with German Silver but to determine if it would substitute check the melting point of german silver, and in this case the melting temp of sterling silver, sterling silver would need to have a lower melting temp which it does ( I just checked ), so I believe it would work. PS I don't think you need flux.
@@patcahillmetalworks322 Thank you very much, really. Melting point of german silver is really high, higher than silver, brass or copper. German silver is very common for us in Southamerica. I only wonder if oxidation of german silver (by heating) could make that silver does not stick apropiately to the base. I could see, in copper, it doesn´t happen. :) Otherwise, I will do it on copper. Hope I can reach such a beautiful piece as de one you showed us in this video (or close). Thank you very much . Your pieces are really beautiful.
If you can't start pounding on that thing I'm out of here
Another great video! Thank you and subbed. A question - if we want to texture the edges, with say a cross-pein or punches, or hammer the whole thing with a ball-pein, do we do this while the sheet is still flat before shaping with the nylon hammer?
For the edges you can do that after the Anticlastic forming. For hammering the whole piece I would do that first, anneal then proceed to forming.
@@patcahillmetalworks322 Great - thank you!
Very useful - thank you! I love anticlastic forms and I first saw a tutorial showing that you had to solder first (which of course I didn't want to do for a slip on cuff) so this was great and I followed the beginning steps. What do you think is the ideal gauge sheet for a cuff like this, and perhaps the maximum we could go to and stll anneal without issue? I was using 0.5mm but it felt a little too thin.
Hi Pat, I liked the ring you showed with the rectangle stone. How do you make it stay in there? I’m going to make one today. Thank you!
Great video thanks
Good video! Couldn't you solder the tube onto your piece and then set the stone?
❤
Yes they are top stuff !
I like your saw, what kind/brand is it?
That is a Knew Concepts Jeweler's Saw Frame there are many available in many sizes.
@@patcahillmetalworks322 ok, thank you :) But I think you're talking about the red one. I was wondering about the other one. It seems like you slide the blade inside holes, instead of like mine between two plates. But maybe I'm not seeing right. And thank you for your videos, they are really helpful!
Oh, ok well I have three saws the one you are asking about is a old one I found at a yard sale so I can't say where you can find it. @@Tsukikao
@@patcahillmetalworks322 ok, thank you anyway :)
Thanks so much for these videos. I am excited to try it. Can you tell me where you got the stake set up and the hammer that you are working with? Thanks!
I got them while taking a workshop with Michael Good on Anticlastic Forming (at a reduced package deal as part of the workshop) I believe that you can get them at www.fretzdesign.com/ but they are not cheap.
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Pat, how did you insert and secure the metal rod into the nylon to create the stakes?
I didn't I bought it that way.
Thank you. My father use to make bangles and he taught me once as a kid but I've since forgotten. I was nice that this video existed so that I had a refresher.
Please help! I want a completely plain bangle 6cm weighing 40g, the jeweller is telling me i will need 80grm of silver because of waste? I have never heard of this before so is this true. i would be so grateful for your reply.
No that can not be true even if you are casting the wire I don't think that you would need 2x the weight, but I would not suggest casting it. Just buy sterling silver round wire. Determine in the length needed for a plain bangle at 6cm internal diameter the weight will be determined by the gauge of the wire used, then add about 2.5 to 5% more for cutting and filing the ends. I hope that helps
Molto bello, bravo!
Neat, thank you. Why does the repeated heating not create firescale? Or is it that firescale is being created, and then the copper etched away? How about using Argentium?
Good questions. Firescale is covered up by the repeated heating, pickling and brass brushing leaving a thin layer of fine silver. Yes you can use Argentium and actually get away with fewer heating pickling cycles.
Nice I learned that a hexagonal box is a six sided box thanks
How do you solder a bangle on a person?
I am not sure I understand your question, YIKES It would be very painful to solder a bangle while the person was wearing it, again I must not understand your question. Wait it just occurred to me that one can probably do this if they have a laser welder, but I have no experience with laser welders, would love to have one but alas I don't have the funds.
The formula is not clear, please explain me how it is the correct formula. 😊
It is quite simple: You want to determine the length of silver wire needed for your bangle. 1. First determined the size you need by measuring the distance from your first knuckle (pinky finger) to your knuckle on your index finger, for me it is 3 inches. 2. The formula needed is: Length of silver wire = the size (3 inches for me) plus the thickness of the wire (0.1 inch for 10 gauge sterling silver wire) times Pi ~3.14. 3. So length of wire needed is (3 +0.1) X 3.14 or 9.734 inches. I might of confused you by modifying this a slight bit because if you want a hammered bangle the hammering will increase the size a bit so I used ~9.5 inches instead of 9.732 inches and as I hammer I keep checking the internal diameter to make sure that it is stretches to 3 inches. I hope that helps.
@@patcahillmetalworks322 thanks ☺️
