    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?

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    • @patcahillmetalworks322
      @patcahillmetalworks322 5 місяців тому

      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.

    • @TheSingular1
      @TheSingular1 5 місяців тому

      @@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.

    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?

    • @patcahillmetalworks322
      @patcahillmetalworks322 5 місяців тому

      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.

    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.

    • @patcahillmetalworks322

      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

    • @patcahillmetalworks322
      @patcahillmetalworks322 8 місяців тому

      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.

      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.

    The formula is not clear, please explain me how it is the correct formula. 😊

    • @patcahillmetalworks322
      @patcahillmetalworks322 8 місяців тому

      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.
