Wonderful thanks again
No probs. Thanks for watching yet again.
Great idea thank you
Thank you. It's a winner.
Definitely give it a shot.
Cool my friend!
Thank you 👏🏻
Wow! 19 years old son! You don't look old enough to have a 19 year old son that surprised me. Thank-you for this tutorial, really appreciate it and your time. 😊
Thanks for the kind words.
He'll be 19 next week. I'll be 45 in August. If I didn't wear my hat, you'd see how bald I am 😂
🙏🙏🙏 Absolutely fascinating. ❤
Thank you. Its a great little trick. The next video will be even better on this.
Cool idea! Would love to see what you'll make of them. Thanks for sharing =)
Thank you.
It's such a simple but effective technique. It's worth giving it a try.
This technique is brilliant! I know about another similar technique with a vise. But yours is just so simple and brilliant. Thank you for sharing:)
You can use a vice too. When I first done and learnt this, it was at college and we used a fly press for things like this.
Next video is definitely the next level up.
Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it.
Im only a hobbyist, but was a signmaker for nearly 20 years and have lots and lots of offcuts of a composite panel, which is a plastic core sandwiched between aluminium sheets. Ive just trialed an oval and heart and it works a treat for both parts. Really easy to saw cut and doesnt stick when sawing. Thanks for the idea.
Yeah yeah. Composite panel will be fine. You can even do this in a piece of wood sheet. It's that versatile. 👍🏼
Thank you for this great tutorial, such a simple technique but so useful. In his book The Encyclopedia of Jewellery Making Techniques, Jinks McGrath shapes the piece that has been cut out to press into the metal sheet, but as you show, leather works just as well.
As to designing, by trade I am a bricklayer, now thankfully retired, but when I was working my design problem was getting my frame of reference from huge building scale to small jewellery. Everything I designed was too big and chunky.
I personally never like the Jinks books. It was always on the purchase list for students, but there's nothing quite like seeing someone doing it.
It's definitely different changing scale. I wanted a change and converted a mk4 vw Golf into a pickup truck. If was very different for me going up in scale. I probably spent too much time cleaning my welds when it wasn't needed. It was like a big piece of jewellery.
Hola amo tu trabajo, son una orfebre de Chile, con tu idea se me habré un mundo de posibilidades ❤
Thank you. The next video shows the next level version of this technique 👌🏻
Wow! What a great technique, never seen this before. My imagination is running riot. If you want/need an hexagonal punch, use an allen socket or cut the short end off an allen key. Thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge. Take care and have fun.
No problem at all. Thanks for watching more vids.
Wait till you see the next video. The next stage to this is even better.
Thank you.
@@metalofhonour Looking forward to it.
Great idea to use Allen key ... The Allen keys in socket sets could be used directly, and often have a range of sizes...hmmm, how about just using a bolt with the size head that you need.... maybe file or grind off any marking on the head. Simple, cheap, metric or imperial sizes 😉
@@lohikarhu734 Using bolts is a great idea.
Enjoying this technique being demonstrated, thank you! When you say "silver" do you mean fine or sterling? I'm guessing you would choose fine (softer) for this, but maybe sterling is a better (stronger) setting?
I always use 925. I never use fine silver. I hate fine silver for anything. You can even do this with something as hard as 9 carat red/rose gold. 👍🏼
Just thought that you could use a hex socket wrench of any size as the former... They tend to have a slight radius on the edge, too ... I wonder if you can get square socket?
Anyway, using some tools that you might have hangin' about... The newest sockets have a kind of "spline" form, might make for an interesting shape...
Even if you want to go deeper. You can use multiple pieces of leather also. If going deeper, I recommend to start with 1mm sheet to stop any ripping. Or like you say, find something sitting about. The next video I do go deeper in a slightly different way. Stay tuned. 👍🏼
I imagine that, if you rounded the top edges more, you could make a deeper "draw", without the chance of getting cracks in the metal from it getting too thin at the edge... ?
nice how do you keep from annealing the metal while soldering the pieces together?
Hi. I'm not sure what you mean. There's no need to worry about the metal being annealed when soldering to other components. You'll see me solder a piece like this in the next video anyway. 👍🏼
Consulta de cuántos mm puede ser la lámina en plata
The sheet on these are .55mm but you can do bigger. Thank you.
Just as a matter of interest - what kind of Piercing Saw blades do you use? I have had a real spate of blades breaking on me. Normally, I can go for ages without snapping a blade. I had mine stacked just above but to the right of my pickle pot and wondered if they could have got acid fumes on them. Any ideas. Cheers Phil
I use a mixture of Vallorbe and Pike blades. But I think sometimes there is a dodgy batch that gets through. I don't use any wax or burr life. I use them dry mostly.
@@metalofhonour That is the same two types I use. Maybe got a buff lot. Cheers - have a great evening. Phil
@PhilStevensphilongold very likely. Have a great evening too. I'm finally leaving the workshop. Been here for 13 hours.
Thank you for doing these videos! What was the black metal you use for the first/largest stencil?
Thanks for commenting. As stated throughout the vid, it's perspex. So not metal. So countries may call it acrylic though. In the UK we call it perspex. 👍🏼
@@metalofhonour I was wondering the same thing and went straight to the comment section. Lol. I have made fairly thick "acrylic" silhouette dies, but I had no idea what perspex was. Is Perspex a name brand perhaps? The acrylic I have used doesn't last very long but it's a really fun technique. Thank you for sharing your skills! 😊
@@tywhitmire860 perspex is just the same as acrylic definition here. It's not a brand at all. 👍🏼
Good morning Ydna - I had never heard of this process - not sure of its application but something worth knowing. Do I notice you have some new 'Ink Work' going on? Have a great week. Phil
Morning Phil. The next video will show a very simple and effective application. I'll release that next weekend.
Indeed I do. I've had it booked for what seems like forever. Both hands finally done. I do get a free touch up in a month or so, due to hands not always taking the ink. I only a couple of bits will need work touch ups. Took about 5.5 hours. I've had over 20 hours on my back, but that was 15 years ago. Have a great week too.
@@metalofhonour I wonder if anyone else has noticed the new Ink Work and not said anything. See U Phil
@PhilStevensphilongold maybe. It's not something I'd expect people to notice. It's such a small channel, most people are watching for the first time I think.
I really hope your channel grows huge! Phil
@@PhilStevensphilongold fingers always crossed.
What is your name?
My nickname for over 30 years is Ydna. It's just my real name "Andy" backwards. Just a name that has stuck for decades. 🤣
😂
Please to meet you!
