what gage wire do you use?

Nice demo , thank you

Interesting history lesson. I have several fine artists in the family and have struggled with the terms. Do I call myself a metalsmith, an artist, an enamelist? I primarily make jewelry, but can't really claim to be a "jeweler" with no formal education in the field. All of this terminology just contributed to imposter syndrome that, because I am mostly self taught, I already struggled with. I've had people say things like "Are you going to play in your studio?" Play, that term used to upset me because to me it was my work, but I get paid for "playing" every day in my home studio in beautiful rural Vermont surrounded by trees & wildlife. Your story helped me realize that the terminology has nothing to do with my abilities. I love what I do and regardless of what others may call me, I'm just going to keep playing. Thank you!

Really nice replica. What size rivet did you use for your replica? Thanks

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Hey, do you still have the template? Would you share with me?

I want to know how to make everything.

Looks more like a heater. lol But maybe there's a way to use a dimmer on the bulbs? 3 40 watt bulbs is pretty bright. Otherwise, great job!

Is it actually possible to cut 316L stainless steel with a jewelers saw? i've tried with two different types of blades without any success. Also, is there any solution to treat copper rings with that prevents them from corrosion while being safe for frequent skin contant?

Looks great! Hey do you have a chop saw? I have an extra.

Or maybe I should pull it out of the mold earlier? Im listening right now to you talking about shrinking and bowing, so maybe the bubbles are happening as the front of the design is obviously drying last?

If using a silicone mold for clay foam: if you get tiny bubbles...any idea to eliminate them? I have a heat gun. (Im doing filigree designs. Intricate scrolling detail) and the details are great, but it gets bubbles as it dries. Would heat while still wet or in the process of drying it help? Because iVe tried adding drops of water before working the clay. Ive tried pressing harder. Weights on top. Ive also tried waiting longer for it to cure. No luck. And I cant sand as Id lose the detail =/ Thank you! 😊

멋지십니다,so. Good

Thank you for sharing this! Very helpful. But one thing: it was so fast, I didn't understand how you revealed the inner folding parts. How did you saw them?

I have always wanted to do my own pin backs - now I can with your generous demo and hand out! Thank You!

Thank you! Love being able to print your hand out for my binder.

Hi ! Thank you so much for your video, I do have one question 😊 while im (In case if its important, i'm filing with a big vallorbe file G2, but it makes a horrible sound and its very difficult, almost impossible to file with it so i use the sanding paper, van you please help me to understand what im doing wrong? (curently using on a 1mm board some 0/3 saw blandes)

Hi sir its been long since you posted a video anyways am making my own thor vest ik its long ago u made it but i had a question that can it be made with cardboard?

Thanks for the video and the handout! I am finishing several brooches and wanted to make the pin myself but wasn't sure what wire to use for the pin - it's in my Amazon cart now. 👍

You can use a larger dapping punch to get the rivet to spread out a little just my 2 cents !

i love this movie,awesome key

Thanks so much! Great video; so easy to follow!

Bravo!!! That is real handmade with passion:)

thxs so much for this. When you were flaring the eyelet manually, could I use a countersink deburring drill bit and a drill press to slowly flare it like you did?( since I don't have your excellent manual skills to make it as even) lol Thx again for the very clear explaination♥☻☺

Thank you for that great demo.

Would you consider sharing your template files and photos in case anyone might want to try making one of these?

hi, thank you ;)

Every dicipline has its gatekeepers and elitists. But it's the rebels that innovate and carry human civilization forward.

I was told by a professional artist (Painter)..."you are not really an artist, you are a highly skilled craftswoman". Although I have a great deal of respect for that person, his comment was instrumental in causing a loss of confidence. I have spent a great deal of my adult life learning and mastering several genres of artistic endeavour, and have come to the conclusion that I make art, therefore I am an Artist, a mixed media artist. However Articifer or Artificer, I like very much too! Thanks...follow your dreams!

You speak overtop of other speaking around the 6m20s mark. It makes what you are saying unintelligible

Do you have templates available for building Mjolnir like you did in the video please?

Custom Star Trek Picard </\>📽

I think I played your escape room at Grand Rapids Comic Con!

Sucha a clear, wonderfully explained video. I love rivets. Thank you so much.

Good idea to solder together two plates. What kind of metal were they made of? Looks like you soldered them together with ease.

Спасибо!

Unless you bring your camera closer we can't see the rivet in the counter sink.

Thank you so much for making this video! Your explanation of jump rings has really help me.

Great! Thank you very much! And if I want to put a tube between both plates around the rivet? Do I do the same with the tube in-between - will it hold well enough? Thank you very much! 🔥

ah I see you have seen the Odin makes video... two yoga blocks.. sounds familiar...

Nice work and thank for the patterns , new sub Saludos!

dude you are awesome!!!

What is the blade sharpener you use??

nice

I believe you can remoisten the clay in the container to keep it from drying out.

Thanks for the info. I am curious about the channel name.....is there a back story to the name? :-)

Excellent video, this is going to make things easier for me, Cheers Simon ( Newbie jewelry maker )

Excellent video, thanks for sharing

Thank you very much!
