Hi, are you still doing this channel? If so, I'm super interested and grateful for any help you can share on actually fabricating shared prong settings. It's a desert out here for this technique. Literally, every video talks about making with this technique and then just blasts past any making to the finished piece. Can't imagine why. Measurements and why certain things are measured, sizes, burs, what's going on, etc. totally undone on KZbin. I guess I could just try and figure out it and then teach. But, I'm not a big fan of the blind leading the blind. There's WAY too much of that on KZbin already. No books, no (comprehensive) videos....why is this technique such a freaking secret? 😅😅😅 pls. Share. Just say "No" to gatekeeping!!! Please.

I don't use sterling wire, and I want my wire dead soft so, no I don't follow your analysis

Cool ring bro i wana make one where do u get ur bars from ? I wana get one.
@mustachemetalworksАй бұрын
I buy all my bars from APMEX. They have decent prices and ship well. Start with some silver bars!

Been wanting to make jewelry n learn at home for about five years now.i have zero equipment what do u think itll cost for a startup kit just the main tools not the fancy stuff.

In my opinion, you can make more videos like this, showing us your work without editing much. I enjoyed this video a lot! By the way, the wedding band is gorgeous.

That wpuldve beennone ta take both pieces make a regular one like ya had and then the other drill out the center of the square piece where ur finger goes then cut it rounded but leave an edge of the original square gold bar on it just for shits n giggles or do it like ya are only cut the edge of bar off n set it aside for later n mount it to finished ring or another style this would be more a selfr defense thing cut the cornwr of the bar off leave it rounded then make the ring as normal when done mount corner back on it

How do you draw it out and end up with it being larger than what you srarted with?
@mustachemetalworksАй бұрын
Rolling it out frequently makes it longer, wider, and thinner.

What is the block your heating the gold on
@mustachemetalworks2 ай бұрын
I do all my gold melting work on solid charcoal blocks. They're found on Amazon or specialty jewelry tool sites. Gold doesn't get fouled by charcoal, so it keeps everything clean. If I'm not getting up to the melting point, I sometimes work on a vermiculite board, which is super heat resistant. But melting silver/gold on vermiculite will foul the metal with yucky flakes.

@@mustachemetalworks awesome reply thank you so much! Really want to get into this but can't afford all the equipment up front. Thinking of sand casting sterling silver in the meantime... Is that a good option or is the quality not up to par?
@mustachemetalworks2 ай бұрын
@@HarrisTRT I've never done casting, so I can't comment as an expert, but I would say that it's very very different quality than forged work.

I made a few of these a while back. I transitioned to a D wire on the sides for the bottom of the ring.

Hey, thanks for the video! I would like to make something like this. What gauge square wire would you recommend if I want a final width of about 6 mm ?
@mustachemetalworks3 ай бұрын
If you're asking what ingot dimensions to get to before hammering out, I would go to around a 4mmx4mm square ingot before drawing out flat. It's very easy to blow 4mm way past 6mm width if you're not primarily drawing it length wise. It would be great if we could just buy 2 gauge round wire... That would reduce some steps.

I enjoyed your video a lot! You are a funny guy with a good attitude. I am attempting something similar with fine silver (more organic design but more balls!) and also wish to just fuse. May be beyond my still limited soldering skills but you've given me some courage to just get in there and try. Molten metal is so much fun...
@douglaskinder93855 ай бұрын
This gave me some ideas to make me a work area
@douglaskinder93855 ай бұрын
I strongly recommend if your going to try to jump in and start making jewelry get you a small section of silver wire and practice soldering don't start out using copper to practice it will get you discouraged and you will quit.
@dksmith6055 ай бұрын
Why would you advise against copper to start with? Would you consider copper to be more difficult than silver? I only ask because I've just started playing with making copper chain and the results of my first 'quick and dirty' attempt are pretty encouraging really.
@mustachemetalworksАй бұрын
Copper fouls up and work hardens very easily. Copper is more reactive with the air, so you have to care more and clean more when soldering. Silver is slightly easier to work. I rarely have to clean before soldering, and my joints have been good. As long as my bar doesnt have big voids, silver moves quite a bit between annealing. Gold is a delight to work. Its hard to mess up. If you're feeling encouraged by your copper results, I would say that silver is going to be very fun!! This other guy is probably just recommending silver because its like "easy-mode" compared to copper.

Never thought of slipping them by each other like that. Always opened one up to slip two on.
