Hi ! Please tell me the settings of your video and the source definition . I have a Sony XR 550VE and I am using a Pinnacle 14 Ultimate Collection, but I can't rich that nice and clear imeges as you have in your video . I set the camera on full HD and the flv 608x336 , 800 rate at 25fr/sec. If you can help me , I'll be grateful ! Thank you !

[8mobeus8]

@wontollawolf Hi the video was done very simply using an ordinary camera, a four year old Canon powershot 640, I have just upgraded to a Lumix FZ100 camera which does HD video, I havent tried making a video with it yet but it takes much better photos.

[xmodalloy]

What is the liquid that you painted onto the two parts before heating? Some sort of liquid silver? Does it have a specific name? I'm really curious about the stuff now.

[8mobeus8]

@xmodalloy Borax!!

[xmodalloy]

@8mobeus8 Alright, thanks, I never would have figured they used borax in jewelry making. Well, I learn something every day!

[8mobeus8]

@xmodalloy Borax flux used for all melt ups and all soldering work... life is a learning curve haha ;-}

[FashionableBride]

very impressive work.

[8mobeus8]

@FashionableBride Thank you, it is a rewarding trade ;-}

[uhleia]

how much it cost if im going to ask you to do my old unwanted jewelry to melt and make new one?

[8mobeus8]

@uhleia no easy answer to that without knowing what you want making? Basic melt down and roll out into a plain bangle or ring between £150 and £200

Great to see a craftsman working. In an age where everything seems to be mass produced by faceless computer controlled machines in the East, it's a real pleasure to watch someone do this type of work. I imagine that the methods and tools have stayed the same for generations of craftsmen .Many thanks for posting this video.

[8mobeus8]

@coriander2 Cheers ;-} yes it is a great craft and although machines are taking over the manufacturing process they will never replace someone who can re-build and repair... not in my life time anyway haha

[oOoxelAoOo]

I really like the two-tone effect of that wedding ring :)

[runescape951230]

I think it would be fun to work with this stuff every day. I love to watch how fire affects things, and I would very much enjoy melting gold and heating iron until its entirely red. How much does the job pay and what would it be called? And what kind of training would I have to get ( Need to decide now if I want to peruse the career, before it's too late. )

[8mobeus8]

@runescape951230 job is called goldsmith, it pays well after years and years of getting good at it.

[0zmeath]

Nice work! I mostly work with silver and I have a quick question for you. What solder should I use fusing 18C yellow Au strip to a 9C rose band? Got to Bezel set stone with it too. I've got 18 Easy but suspect I'll need the 9C or less to solder. Any help is much appreciated. Cool music in the clip btw. 

[8mobeus8]

@0zmeath Hi, it really doesnt make much difference what carat solder you use for that job it is more to do with what colour. I would use 18ct easy yellow solder so the colour matches the yellow strip. Rose solder never looks the same as the metal so you always see the solder line and rose solder can be difficult to run and move later if you need to. good luck :-}

[0zmeath]

@8mobeus8 Thanks for the quick response. My main concern is that the 18C solder will eat into the 9C band. The band is thing 0.5mm at a guess. I'm fixing another jewellers work. If 18C solder is ok do you reckon I should bind the lot together w/ wire like you did in the above clip? Was also thinking i could sweat some solder onto the 18C strips to go on the band first. What do you think? Really appreciate this 8mobeus8.

[8mobeus8]

@0zmeath 18ct solder wont eat the 9ct band, I would clean the joins, flux, bind them together if you like or if you are confident soldering it is easier to solder without for the type of job you are doing because whilst the solder is running you can move the band to keep it positioned correct. Yes solder onto the 18ct strip first it helps stop the solder running too much onto the 9ct ring which makes cleaning up easier after the solder. its all a lot harder than it looks and sounds, good luck.

Great work was that the meco midget torch thanks and do you recommend that brand thanks

[8mobeus8]

Hi dont know about meco.. the torch came direct from BOC who supply the oxygen tanks designed specifically for light soldering work using propane instead of welding.

[62paolo]

@8mobeus8

Very nice

[vukodlak109]
