So do the holes stay open? What happens if people wash their hands. Does liquid get trapped inside? Thank you for the demonstration!!
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmithАй бұрын
Yes, the holes do stay open. If they submerge for a significant amount of time, water will seep into the ring. However, the holes should be as small as you can drill them to help prevent the water inside. Their only purpose is to prevent a problem when you solder the pieces together. 😁

@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith2 ай бұрын
Hello! I used a round ring mandrel to reshape the piece to fit the inside of the top to get it as round as I could and then made sure it had a snug fit, or fit with a little friction. By doing that, I was able to finish making it match the roundness of the outer wall.

Very nice work and I like your set of tools as well. I am new to this and while raising a 9.75” copper bowl I’ve put a crimp in the outside rim.. is there a way to work that out?
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith2 ай бұрын
Hi Rick! Thank you so much, I’ve saved up to buy good, quality tools over the last 18 years, so I take extra care of them. It depends on how big the crimp is. Usually, you can anneal the bowl and work the crimp out with either a raising hammer (slightly rounded hammer)or at grooving hammer (aka cross-peen). Either way, it will slightly deform the bowl until you your next round of raising. And, sometimes you may have to cut or sand the edge to make it level.

@@loraleamisterly9865start by going parallel to spread the crimp apart, then across to flatten it. Take turns flipping from parallel to cross just keep your eye on the thinness. If you can, try to hammer a larger area than the crimp so you don’t thin a small part of the wall. If you can aim your blows evenly across a larger area, it will help make it less noticeable. But, even if you can “see” it, most others won’t unless you point it out. Let the beauty of the imperfection shine and see it as a handmade mark, not a mistake 🤗

Enjoyed your video on Keum Boo. What is the brand name of the hot plate you used? I have difficulties finding one that heats up to 600-800 degrees.
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith3 ай бұрын
Hi Terri! Thank you so much! The brand is not so important but rather the plate type - meaning a full flat plate versus the open spiral type you see on an electric stove. And, depending on the size of the piece you’re trying to put the gold on, you may need an alternate source of heat. I found that a heat gun from a box store works well to help get the metal up to temperature. The other way is to use your torch to heat the piece to a high enough temperature for the gold to bond - this is a bit trickier 🤣 Hope these suggestions help.
@terrisidell70413 ай бұрын
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith Dear Julessa, Thank you for your reply. I thought I had it made last night after I tried the wire brush you suggested to test whether the gold had adhered, but after trying to put rouge on it to make the ring shine, a piece came off. I have tried both the flat plate & coiled hot plates. Everyone has a different way of doing Keum Boo. I had a spiral hot plate that did great, but it died. I tried it just as you did on a flat plate last night, but it didn't meet my expectations. I tried the Ultra Lite Kiln with no success with a temperature control. I didn't think of a heat gun. I guess I might try that or the torch next.
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith3 ай бұрын
@@terrisidell7041 getting the temperature just right takes practice. I watch a gentleman on KZbin that only uses a torch to heat the silver to apply keum boo. It’s obvious he’s perfected the skill. The other thing that could be affecting the bond is the depth of your depletion or the depth of the fine silver you’ve brought to the surface. If it’s not adequate, the gold won’t bond correctly. So, it’s a combination of heat and the amount of depletion you’re able to achieve. Don’t give up, it takes lots of practice and patience to build up the skill😁

Can't consider it fine jewelry when using easy solder, bad technique.
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith6 ай бұрын
That is very true, but for the purpose of practice, I wanted to show the use of easy solder. I have practiced flame control for many years in order to always use hard solder on all my joins for both costume and fine jewelry work. It is a habit I developed after finding weak and failed joins with hard wearing jewelry. I am very tough on jewelry, so I learned early on that medium & easy solder joins are not always reliable, especially for structural integrity. 😃
@NehpetsRellek6 ай бұрын
@@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith never the less you are teaching the use of easy solder, which is inferior. Heat control or no heat control hard solder must be used throughout the fabrication of the piece. When soldering the next step the previous solder joint must be heat sinked, if not the solder will weaken creating an inferior joint. Once upon a time asbestos was used as a heat sink, it is no longer allowed but there are other alternatives. Rio Grande should provide your needs. Another tip for inhibiting the flow of hard solder. Do not pickle the piece until all soldering is complete. The contamination will help inhibit the flow of hard solder on the previous soldering joints.🙂

Thanks Julessa, I love this technique. I wonder if I can do this on fine silver and skip the depletion process or if it has to be done on sterling silver. Also instead of using the hot plate can I put the silver with the gold in the kiln at the right temperature and burnish it when it comes out of the kiln.
@JulessaScofieldMetalsmith8 ай бұрын
Hi Victoria! Yes, you can use fine silver and skip the depletion process. The only thing to note is that fine silver doesn’t take a typical patina so the gold may not seem as obvious, but it’s still a beautiful way to add value to your designs. I’ve never tried to kiln fuse keum boo before, but I imagine it would work. I would recommend a temperature a little lower than the fuse temp and slowly bring the temperature up because the keum boo sheet is pretty thin and can singe. I’m interested in finding out how well the kiln fuse works. I know on thicker sheets of gold, kiln fusing works well, so I think if you’re careful about it, it would work. Let me know how it goes if you try it. 🙂
