    i love the baby bottle warmer, that will work great for warming up resin bottles to help eliminate bubbles

  • @jasonsgems3369
    @jasonsgems3369 Рік тому

    Nice tips. I use a cut down milk bottle when I have my handpiece in the bench vice and using it for polishing - catches all the dust thrown behind it instead of covering the bench.
    I use a slow cooker for my pickle, but the baby bottle warmer would also be great for keeping your liver of sulphur solution for patination warm for the deepest colour.
    Those hole punches are handy. Keep all the little divots then you can use them to texture a presoldered sheet with nice little circles.

      Yes, it's a great option too! I used to have it, but after it broke down, I needed a replacement. All of the available slow cookers were too big, so I decided to try hot plate. It wasn't bad, but it smelled horrible and wasn't too handy. This bottle warmer works the best so far 😃 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️

    Drilling was a bust for me at a looong time, then I come over a dental micro handdrill at very good price, changed my life, alomost never broke at drillbit sense that, total control even with a 0,5mm drillbit on 2-3mm deapth of drilling. That micromotor is not cheap tho if you buy it new, around 2.500$ in Sweden, but I got a used one for 150$! Normally they goes for 5-700$ used but in good shape, worth every penny even then…👍😊

It's just important to do a little background check and make sure the tool is safe, other than that it's nothing less than a new one :)

      Small crock pot is great, had one before. It broke quite quickly though, so it depends on the item. This plastic bottle heater is now lasting longer than the crock pot did, so I'm quite happy with it

      Metal of a crackpot gets corroded by the acid ( vinegar is acetic acid) in the pickle. Plastic will not be corroded by the acid/ vinegar. So the baby bottle warmer should last longer.

  • @msandigail
    @msandigail Рік тому

    Why do you stack multiple circles of the sandpaper? It seems wasteful to use sandpaper as backing - is there a reason that you didn't use the cutter to make matching sized cardboard backing? Or does stacking the sandpaper pieces let you just rip off the used up one on top and keep going, and you don't really need multiple pieces for backing? This hack seems so promising but I'm just a smidge away from understanding it!!

    • @TheArtOfMetalsmithing
      @TheArtOfMetalsmithing  Рік тому +1

      I stack them for some added sturdiness, while keeping them flexible. Adding a cardboard would've made them too thick or too sturdy, and I wanted them to bend a little. Also, it helps to change them quicker, so that I don't have to waste time removing an old one and attaching a new one each time :)
