This is an excellent demonstration of a technique that i was not aware of yet as i am just getting started in metal working. Thank you so much i hadn't realized that a rubber stamp could be used to impress hot solder! Fantastic!
I would take the sheet of metal and use a large stamp and stamp one pattern on the metal and then cut the shape out. And then you can sand the back to smooth it out. It just seems like a lot of work to do it bit by bit.
@@lindsayhuff8813 thank you for your interest! Unfortunately that’s not how it would work since when you make the solder molten you have to work in small sections very quickly because the molten solder cools too quickly to do large areas, but I appreciate your suggestion. You should give it a try and experiment so you have a better understanding of how that process works. And in all actuality, it did not take very long, even though I was going back-and-forth. Not all things are done quickly when creating jewelry. I appreciate your support!
@ making jewelry is time consuming. I have been doing it for over 15 years now. Moved more into metalsmithing in the late. What is stopping you from just heating up the metal itself and embossing it or putting a pattern on it and using a dremel to create the image? I feel like there are many more efficient ways. As to keep the time down because at the end of the day our time costs money. If you want to do it with solder on top of the metal you could use a torch to keep the solder hot over a larger area so you can stamp it. Right?
@@lindsayhuff8813oh I see what you’re saying now & how you are accomplishing this! Yes, 100% you can use a torch but that’s not what I was demonstrating in this particular video as most of the people creating soft soldered jewelry don’t use torches only irons but it’s effective & I have done this as well! I also create with hard solder & have an entire playlist of projects too if you’re interested in checking those out! Do you have a website or shop as I’d love to see your creations!
Thx my friend! I just completed another project with stamping & patina that’ll be out in a few days! Thanks so much for your continued support! 🙏😊💖 Happy New Year! 🍾🥂🎆
The star turned out great! Could use your rubber stamps to make some clay stamps to extend the life of the patterns you like? It may be more expense and trouble than just replacing the rubber ones. Just something that occurred to me.
@@sarajanehaven I have actually done that before, but not for soft soldering! I made my own impressions out of clay for use with UV resin. That large one lasted over three years so it’s probably easier just to buy new ones then to buy more clay make the impression, etc., etc. but it’s always good to think about how to do things differently as you know that’s how my brain works too! Thanks for the suggestion though and happy new year.

I have done it. my process was completely different from yours. But the end result is similar I guess.

Such a great project - I love the stamping technique so much and I have the same set of mini stamps as you! I'm a bi t obsessed with the black patina!
