You have amazing patience ,great videos .
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful work and always a joy to watch and to learn from you Ford.
good to hear, ta.
I am a jeweler. and I appreciate a good craftsman .. thank you
Thank you, I'll be on patreon sometime soon. Really valuable information on simple techniques like filing a curved edge, your method of coming to the scribe line was really something I hadn't been told before either.
So informative. I love the way you describe things like the amount of pressure when using a file eg. Kissing the edge to not not take too much metal off, very effective. Great video Ford
Thanks Greg, it's nice to get this sort of feedback.
Fantastic :)
Splendid!😍
Having a very accurate score line goes a long way here.
Beautiful work! How did you get started in this artform?
I love the detail but I don't have quite that much patience
Another reason for rounding by making multiple facets is that it's much easier to control the shape. It's easy to see whether an edge of a facet is straight, but if someone tries to just round everything from the start, the curvature is really hard to see without some sort of radius gauge.
that's exactly right and is in fact the basis of the traditional approach to filing up half round rings. We'll be doing a tutorial on that shortly actually.
Exactly what are these used for?
How far apart are those notches appropriately?
👍😀
dommage pour la traduction !!! y en a pas !!!
Regular people.... try this..... he is a master with this tool.. just try it.... lol
Great work! I apologize if I missed it. What do you do if the marks do not coincide at the last point? I'm a big fan of your work. Greetings from Russia.
when you get to the last 2 cm or so you can do a check lightly and either widen the gaps or make them narrower by a smidgen, it's easy to lose a10th of a mm over 20mm.
Thank you very much for your answer!
I tried one more way. Markup is done in increments of 2 times. The error in this case is less. First I make an incision on the first markup, after the second one, and after that I make a cut between the marks. The middle of the segment can be found very simply. And so every time - first cut on the mark, after that - on the resulting segment. But when I was very young, I was tormented with markup and I got a lot of roughing points, in which I was constantly confused.))))
Your way I like much more!
P.S. Sorry for the bad English, I did not have practice in the language for more than 20 years.
With best regards,
Mikhail
that's a good trick, you mean go one way then go the other way?
and your English is fine, we can communicate easily. I cant speak any Russian ;-)
No, I mean making cuts step by step. If we make cuts in two ways all around we can't see final result and it inforce us to return back for correcting previous work.
For example: we have to do 50 cuts. In this way we work in according with folowing steps: 1,3,2,5,4,7,6... It helps to make cuts with visually constant increments on curved edge with variable radius.
But I must to say again that Your way is much easier, more correct and more quick.
Thank You!
Absolutely love your video! However, I think your mic recording was really distorted. To close to the mic maybe? Or set to sensitive?
Hi James, glad to hear you like the films. And yes, we did have a bit of a problem with the audio, I'd just started using a lapel mic and the levels were indeed far too sensitive, but I think we've now got the levels sorted. The latest film, we published last night would be a good example of the present sound quality.
How do you ensure that your last scribe indentation is equidistant to the first?
when you get to the last 2 cm or so you can do a check lightly and either widen the gaps or make them narrower by a smidgen, it's easy to lose a10th of a mm over 20mm.
An excellent answer. Thank you.
Hi Ford, the pin file doing the scallop work what size are you using.
a small one ;-)
it may be an escarpment file. These are very fine and small files used by watchmakers.
@@FordHallam thank you for your reply, I've just purchased one.
