Patterning Metal with a Toothpaste Squeezer!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- Learn how to easily and inexpensively create beautiful patterns on metal using a toothpaste squeezer, aka: a tube wringer. The Industrial Tube Wringer (about $25.00 on Amazon as of July 2019) is the one I use in this video.
I'll demonstrate a variety of patterns that you can create using a tube wringer. The patterned metal can be sawn, soldered, riveted, etc. You can also use your corrugated metal with silhouette dies and a hydraulic press. The rolling mill can also be employed to create more unique patterns. Chasing & repoussé tools, hammers or dapping punches can be used to create really cool patterns too. Try using metal stamps or letter/number punches too!
36 - 28 gauge, annealed metal is recommended for this tool (copper is the easiest to corrugate). Other types of corrugating tools will allow you to use thicker metal. Always anneal the metal before using.

Some of the other tools that can be used for corrugation are listed below. Please note that I have not tried them all and cannot vouch for their effectiveness - only for that of the Industrial Tube Wringer.

Link to Books: The only book (that I know of) on metal corrugation called, oddly enough (hah) Metal Corrugation!

Thanks again! Don't forget to subscribe and "like" this video or I will cry!!! Happy creating!
This method is so versatile that I really think after more experimentation you can do yet another video with more ideas! Love this, since most people can't afford a roller until they are years into working with metal. Thanks a million.
Urgh, and I went ahead and bought one! Some of these patterns are just what I've been looking for
I love you videos. I am a newby to silversmithing and appreciate your DIY tools, explanations and humor. I have made many of your DIY tools and use them regularly.
So many different opportunities for patterns. Cheers Nancy.
I use the rolling mill at different angles to elongate and create stretched patterns. Thanks for your ideas
So glad you showed us this. I learned to use the plumbers corrugating tool my first year of metal work and it is sitting on the window sill. This video has reminded me how much fun it was and also the great results with the daps.
Thanks for showing the different designs, I will have to try making some of these.
FYI: You might try using "glasers pliers". They have a wider jaw, and a "gapped" space between the jaws, to allow for the thickness of the glass, so that the point of contact is right out at the front tips of the jaws. Thanks for this interesting, and useful demo!!!
Nancy you are awesome. Love the way you make jewellery. So inspired to do sooooo much more, and you love cats 😻😻😻
So great to see you again.
Yes... ;_; I wish shed post more. I love watching her videos! Even if I'm not particularly interested in the exact tutorial.... because shes so FUN.
Why!? Why Nancy why!?
Uh.... right, *sigh* she DOES have a life I suppose.... *heavier sigh*
Thanks Nancy. Your just wonderful ❤️
Thanks Diane! So are you!
So great!!
This is fascinating. I love it!
Awesome! Glad you liked the video. Thanks.
Great Video. Got a lot of new idea's to work on.
Yea! Glad it sparked those ideas. Have fun!
I love it Nancy! thank you for making such great content! you are an inspiration for my own channel!
Superb, as allows. Thank you!
Thanks so much JM!
Love it!
Thanks Nanc! I quit smocking almost five years ago. Sure miss those cigars. sigh... anyway, cool techniques!
Hello Chuckles!!! Dang, turns out all the fun stuff isn't good for us! Be well.
Thanks!
Love these techniques!
I really appreciate your videos
Although soldering will locally anneal work hardened metal and make it more able to bend, much of the strength that comes from corrugating is structural and doesn't depend on work hardening. That's a big advantage, that soft metal can, in one axis, be structurally resistant to bending.
браво!
Swanstrom makes nice wide confirming pliers for 'smocking'
Yes, they do. I forgot I had a pair! Didn't realize it until I posted the video! Duh. They sit in a container of rarely used pliers so, my mind didn't go there. I think I listed them in my forty thousand word video description. Thanks!
Thanks Nancy this is very cool! I saw some pliers on RioGrande website today that might help. They are called Swanstrom's Confirming pliers. Item# 111124 It's a set, but they have long jaws that might help squeeze a larger section. Hope this helps. Keep the great videos coming!
Hey Nancy, I have one of the tube wringer. I use 24 gauge material. I have made it to look like a cross stitch. Have not tried what you have made in the video. Also I flame painted copper. You should check out what I made on Facebook page. Great job on the video Nancy!
Really interesting! As a beginner I am a bit concerned as to how I could solder this to my work. Would I sweat solder down the ridges, where they make contact? Thanks!
You can flatten edges and solder them - depends on the size of the patterned material. If it's small, this would work. IF a larger piece, flatten outer edges and also sweat solder some solder to a few internal troughs (ridges). You can hold down the ridge, with a solder pick, placed in a trough (that has solder applied on it) - while soldering. Maybe I should do a video! Riveting is also a great option. Thank you for watching!
@@NancyHamiltonJewelry Yes, do a video on soldering some of the corrugated. :)
This is so good! I subscribe!
Im confused, Captions says toothpaste squeeze tube Im sure your talking about the other thing, Does the other thing have a name
Nancy, I love your videos!!! This one unfortunately sounded like you were mumbling through the half of the video. Even worse , the volume was very low. Even with all my volumes at 100% it was difficult to hear most of the video. Just a thought, speak a little louder or adjust your recording volume a bit? Thanks. I do love your videos!!!!!!!
When I was editing the volume seemed too loud so, I lowered it. I've been told my videos were too loud too. Next one, I'll just leave the audio alone. Thanks for your input!
Would using a BIG flat edge screwdriver be easier to flatten the edges?
Great idea! I'd try it. Thanks for your suggestion.
dear Nancy, what country are you in?
