- Details on how to make 2 different kind of Gold ingots and rolling them out on a new $140 Vevor rolling mill that arrived damaged in shipping. I repaired the damaged, bent bolt because the seller offered me a refund of $70 to not return the damaged machine. Conclusion, the thing works.
This is hard to watch js
Great gear tip for the wire pulling that i will certainly apply to my first bench, however, i'll get a durston. Great review.
My experience has been that your better off going in only one direction on the rolling mill because the play or slack in the roller is taken up at the beginning and operates smoothly afterwards but if you go back and forth it’s gonna take up slack before going the other direction and this will cause difference in thickness of your metal. Go one way remove the metal and repeat with annealing regularly
Ray liked to say “just showing you how not to do it”. I was there in 1979 for a four month class.
Awesome! Ray was the best teacher I ever had! Always very positive about everything. No matter how bad the screw up, he find something positive to say about it!
@@ebaysutube Another thing that Ray liked to say when he made a mistake was “easy buster”. Ray has been gone a long time and his son Michael also left us a few years ago. Ray set me up with an apprenticeship with a master jeweler from Europe who opened my eyes to how real jewelry was made. I became a platinum-smith and with my diamond setting abilities I was ahead of my peers at the bench. I can say with pride that ole Ray Schow changed my life for the better.
So true, Ray sure did a lot for everyone! You must have seen a few visits from Walt, his crazy Russian buddy…
Where from Europe was your master jeweler from?
I grew up in Switzerland 🇨🇭 so I know what you mean.
Is there any place on line where I can see your work?
Last time I had a real shop was in the 90s, San Diego Jeweler’s Exchange 6th & E, 8th floor.
Where are you located?
@@ebaysutube I would be glad to share pictures of my work and chat a bit about Ray but not here. Do you have an email address? I do remember the Russian friend of Ray’s a real character.
Great filing technique js
