Make a Sleek Semicircle Pendant: A Silversmithing Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2024
- This tutorial shows how to make a geometric semicircle pendant. This is a beginner level project. For materials, I used 18 gauge sterling sheet, and 10 gauge sterling square wire. As always, I use hard silver sheet solder and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande.
It is important to use safe practices when dealing with fire, sharp tools, and chemicals. Here is a video on safety: • General Silversmithing...

Beautiful, thank you for another great video. I also keep forgetting to mention...I gave setting a bezel with my pliers like you do and wow! I love it, I have much better grip and control rather than using a bezel rocker ect. So thank you!
Thanks Star! I feel like I get some better leverage doing it that way:)
Such a clean design. Just lovely. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Thanks Toinette! I was trying to keep everything pretty tidy on this one:)
Such a beautiful pendant Chad. Very clean lines and a beautiful bail. Thank you for posting your video.
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks Kathy:)
Thank you Chad! Excellent as always!
Thank you Sheran:)
Awesome about Pepe, and having an upgrade in your rolling mill! I think a good quality rolling mill is each jeweller's dream tool to have.
Thanks Susan! I am really pleased with it:)
Love this style. Given me loads of ideas as usual thank you!
Thanks! You're awesome Karla:)
That's a cool design, the pattern really sets it off. Thanks for sharing Chad and have a fantastic weekend.
Thank you Gazz! You too:)
Beautifully done, Chad! Great design. That Pepe Tools rolling mill is also a thing of beauty. It’s on my dream list. Pepe has LOTS of great tools. I highly recommend their disc cutting and centering dies. You’ll wonder why you ever tolerated the frustration of the cheaper ones.
Another beautiful piece. Thanks!
Thank you!
I see you hit 12k subscribers this morning... Congrats on the growth of your channel... You put some really inspiring content. I found your channel a few weeks ago, and have been doing my best to run through your old videos... I'm getting close to catching up! 🤗
Thank you Jon! Some of the editing on the earlier ones may be a little rough:)
Love that design Chad! Congrats on the new rolling mill! It's the same one I have. It's a superb quality tool and works like a charm. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks Rochelle! It's so much better than my old one:). I can't believe the difference!
@chadssilversmithing I bet!! It's the only one ive ever used so I can't compare it, but if anyone is looking for a rolling mill and it's within their budget I can attest to the fact that Pepe's rolling mills are totally worth the investment.
Super pretty ❤ love your videos, they are always a great inspiration and very helpful!
Thank you Shaylee! That makes me happy to hear you are finding them helpful!
Very cool! I love it!!
Thank you Stormiesea!
You know me I always stop in the middle of the video because by the time it’s over with I’ll forget what I wanna tell you. Ring benders are great if you get one that’s metal on metal. I suggest you putting a thin piece of leather in between your ring binder so it doesn’t mark up your metal.. or you can get one with the nylon jaws. Now the best one to get is like what David sells it Pepe tools. But I don’t have one of those yet. All these fancy tools now that make it so much easier to bend metal. It’s just crazy. Anyway, anyway, that’s what I wanted to tell you about a ring binder tool. OK back to watching your super cool video. Hugs 🤗, Michelle
Thanks for the good advice Michelle!
Here I am yelling do it diagonally do it diagonally…. And you did. Yay
I must have psychically picked up your yelling:)
@@chadssilversmithing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 now that’s funny
01:39 Nice one
Thanks Terry!
🤩😍
I think I'll try metal clay for the pattern.
Let me know how it works out Dr. Helga:)
That turned beautiful, but I would use the pattern side for the front… Great work hugs 🤗, Michelle
I made it so it could be worn either way:)
@@chadssilversmithing yes, I knew that but I wanted you to know I really loved the pattern side… 🤗 Michelle
V good sir👍
Thank you!
Another beautiful piece. My problem is getting the proportions correct for the bail to the pendant 😢 mine are either too small or too big.
I sometimes struggle with proportions on things as well:). Thanks for the nice comment!
Hi Chad,
Did you buy or make your anvil? Would love one.
Love your videos! Thanks Yvonne
I bought someone’s tools a few years back when they gave up doing this. He had apparently asked a welder friend to make it for him. Thanks for the nice comment Yvonne:)
Thank you for making this video. What are you using to create the shapes that you are pressing? Thanks
Hello Fiona! One of my Patrons has a laser cutter and she makes them with that. She kindly sent me a pile of them:)
Hey Chad thanks making all the videos 😊 what's your process for polishing at the end do you tumble or use burrs etc?
Hello Lee! I do a little prepolishing with a rotary tool. Here’s a video: ua-cam.com/video/OpllnTnspTM/v-deo.htmlsi=bRQYaMkWVQI6lmop. Then I use a full size buffing wheel: ua-cam.com/video/IvSeAi_D9T0/v-deo.htmlsi=LyX0nr2PRv1rB3R5.
@@chadssilversmithing Thank you!
I have made a few pendants like this but I used reticulated silver for my texture side and then very thin facing of polished silver on other side. I like your bail. I notice you never hallmark your pieces. Is this just for the demonstration?
Thanks Anne. After the video, if I can find a suitable spot, I stamp them:)
What kind of black marker do you use?
Any permanent type of felt tip should work.
