Fantastic to watch the old ways of doing things, after 50 years as a craftsman I learned a few very valuable techniques in this video.

Interesting, historic and educational. Nowdays, kids growing up in a different environment. Nursery, school and home provide a wide range of fine motor developing program and toys. Back in time, kids had few things to develop those skills. So when they entered to such industry, lot of practice was needed to develop even basic fine motor skills not to mention what we could see in the film. Respect to the old craftsmen!

As Tin and Coppersmith; all I can say is wow. I’ve made many architectural pieces for buildings; such as scuppers, cornices and the like. But little of it was of compound bends. Most pieces were simple in comparison to this. I use machine tools like rollers, beaders and brakes. No way would I have the patience to hammer out a simple cup little alone a serving piece like this. Artisans of the highest order.

Making silver wire is dead easy but the trick is to anneal after every pass otherwise I see cracks and scale like burrs. Annealing is key to working with precious metal if you are shaping it in this manner; however, if filing or grinding it isn't desirable or useful IMO. It's the patience aspect- annealing takes time but pays dividends in the end-quality and work-ability of a particular item. It has to be done. Metal is crystalline material frozen in it's state at ambient temperatures. After hammering or drawing through a die the crystalline structure becomes compressed and hardens. Heating it back up loosens the crystalline structure again and the metal is more workable. The process repeats. It is guaranteed that if one continues to work the metal without annealing frequently cracks will quickly begin to form which is bad.

Great doc! Thanx for the UL!! The end product is amazing, but I have to say that all the hammering must get to be a bit boring. I mean, hours on end of hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer . . . . . . . . . .

It's not mindless hammering. Every fall of the hammer accomplishes something. Precision is required. I've done similar work, and it's not boring

As a practicing gold and silversmith - the comment that it is a 'lost art' is both insulting and ridiculous
@nicholaspostlethwaite9554
@nicholaspostlethwaite9554 Жыл бұрын
Depends. The craft has been 'hobbyfied'. Gone are the companies employing silversmiths pretty much. Now what is left is mainly sole craftsmen and students who go through a college course and all think they are 'designers'. Plain fact of the matter is no one wants silver in their homes any more. All that fuss cleaning it. Risk or theft, etc. Then the cheapness of the second hand 'antiques', dead men need no living wages. You should know that. 😉 It will survive as a hobby, a few 'art works', but lose the greatest skills of those that once spent entire lives doing it.
