genius video..

what type of torch do you use?

tir38:

He's annealing the ingot. Repeated rollings work-harden the metal, so by heating and quenching, the metal is "softened" allowing for further rollings.

What is the purpose of the reheating at 1:30?

Also, I see your lower workbench silver file-catch-area. How much silver do you have to reclaim from the filing process?

[everschristiand]

[MrWolverine777]

If he did a moonwalk or breakdance move between heating and flattening, that would have been pure ownage.

[clintart]

That rolling mill is an amazing artist!

[AKmikeW]

What is the name of the machine you are using to flatten the wire?

[chas8491]

That is a rolling mill. This one is a Durston D2, 120 mm wide.

Wow, this was great! I like that crusher thing. I want one.

chas8491, the video quality was very good, but how about doing a vid or vids that show a complete (stare to finish) jewelry project, and some commentary on what you are doing and why, that would be even better.

Hi,

Thanks for the critique on my video. I agree with your comments, but this video was meant to demonstrate that silver bezel could, in fact be made in this short of a time frame. Many jewelers have told me it could not be done this fast. Details were not important to show, but seeing the whole process was. I made my point by making this first video clip.

I plan on doing some short "how to" videos soon, so look for them.

You rock Jay!

Thanks for the info re. ingot mold. I'll check it out. Video was educational. Thanks.

[harborgem]

Is that a mold you are pouring the molten silver into? If so, where did you get it? Thanks.

[chas8491]

The ingot mold I'm using is called a "combination ingot mold" available at almost all jewelry tool suppliers, like Rio Grande, Frei and Borel, Gesswein, etc. It allows you to make 4 different sizes of round ingots, and any width of sheet stock. They also come in a taller style, for making really big ingots.
