[@13yaroza]

Thank you so much for making these videos! I know they take a lot of effort, but being able to see a real professional and their technique really inspires me to keep practicing!

[@scaffoal]

Thank you, In my videos I try to show one of the many possible techniques to make a jewel. each one then, based on his ability to his story and his masters, can reinterpret him as best he can.

[@tblz406]

Spectacular, just started learning, will be working on this over the weekend, let’s see how it goes.! Great video

[@fieldmarshaljoe]

Update video. It’s been a year

[@RR-jr7ni]

Holly crap that's insane handcrafting. Add a lot of value to the piece.

[@scaffoal]

thanks

[@Ilovetheplatypus]

I can say that this is the best video on youtube showing how to make a closure like this because I have watched them all. Your skill is amazing.

[@scaffoal]

thank you

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

I love how you make every single thing, you could use ready made bars etc but all hand made. A true Artist

[@scaffoal]

thanks a lot

[@t0rb1naalborg44]

Hi. Thanks for your instructions. Interesting to see how different smiths using the same tools constructs the exact same mechanism in different ways.

[@Mcmothi]

Absolutely beautiful work Scaffoal. You truly are an inspiration.

[@scaffoal]

Thank you

[@Leftnip_]

I love your videos! You are my favourite channel on KZbin! I'm currently a student at The Alberta College of Art and Design and I am majoring in jewelry and metal smithing! This is the kind of thing I hope to make in the future. You have amazing talent and your knowledge of craftsmanship is incredible. What I wouldn't give to pick your brain about jewelry making for a day. Thank you so much for making these videos, they are extremely helpful in my work and I've learned a lot. You're the best! :)

[@scaffoal]

I thank you, but do not limit yourself to what you see in my videos, techniques for jewelry making are many and many are craftsmen who use different techniques. Refine your skills and always experience, so work will never bother you. For the future market also learn 3D modeling on compueter, 3D printers to produce jewelery quality waxes begin to have affordable prices.

[@alienatedconsumer1241]

What I like most about your videos is that you don't do lost wax casting. You demonstrate far greater skill then that. It is a joy and inspiration to watch you create scaffoal. I just turn down the volume and enjoy.

Well made, great job !!! Congratulations !!!

[@scaffoal]

[@Adrian-yc9yz]

quick question if anyone can please help me out here. When making box clasps should I use deadsoft or 1/2 hard metal?

[@excalibur8496]

Hello everyone! Is anybody know where I can find these wide pliers please? [ 2:49 ] Thank you!

[@sarahb.2080]

Perfect timing! We're doing this in school right now!

[@youtubeisacensorshipplatfo4853]

How do you re work harden the spring after soldering?

[@teamskovhugger8135]

😉👍 WOW Thanks THIS WAS EXACLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR 👍 NOW I CAN GET FINISHED WITH MY PROJEKT ...

[@scaffoal]

thanks to you

[@NYKeyWordz]

Wow. I know I’m really late to this video but can you give links to the tools you use? It would really help beginners like me.

[@scaffoal]

I never thought of describing the tools I use, I assumed that the basic tools of my trade were known to everyone. If you are interested you can visit the online shop of Luigi Dal Trozzo, supplier of tools for goldsmiths, on the site you can find photos of all the equipment. If you need specific information you can contact me by email that you find on my site that I advertise at the beginning of each video.

[@davidlane147]

That "click" is the most satisfying sound to a goldsmith! Also, how come I've never seen you break a saw blade? Lol

[@scaffoal]

yes, I too, like all mortals, break the blades during processing.

[@AG-yv8yb]

Great video thumbs up...I'm curious with the handmade lock lose tension and how to fix it if so? Also why do alot of jeweler's especially Miami cuban link makes use casted locks?

[@scaffoal]

It is easier to make a short video than to explain it in words, as soon as I can I do it. Cast parts are often used because they are cheaper.

[@Takealook187]

Beautiful ! Great work

[@iseejewelz3874]

So much work and detail into a small piece off jewelry that I would think was made by a machine because it’s that perfect

[@scaffoal]

Thank you, this was one of the projects I carried out at the goldsmith school that I freqented at the beginning of my work history, I guarantee you that the professors of my school demanded even greater perfection.

[@lehtimakireino3539]

Thanks again Mr.Scaffoal for a very impressive video.

[@scaffoal]

thank you

[@stephenward3468]

The problem i had was soldering the push button onto the tongue part,without making the tongue soft and becoming weak and sometimes too soft to work.Do you let the tongue air cool or dunk in water ,acid asap after soldering to keep it's strength?

[@scaffoal]

After welding, to restore the strength of the spring, you have to hammer it slightly, to work harden the metal.

[@KayGasnerKGDESIGNS]

That is beautiful, thank you for sharing;-)

[@hillbillygrizzly7045]

great job ! love the thumb ring the sword is awesome!! GODBLESS!!!

[@scaffoal]

thanks a lot

[@teno777]

I love your work scaffoal. A quick (and newbie) question if you don't mind : is this a durable clasp compared to, say, a spring ring or lobster clasp ? By that I mean, does the mechanism last and function well over time, with possibly thousands of opening/closing ? Besides, is it sturdy, does it resist being accidentally "pulled"/snatched ? Thank you for your help.

[@scaffoal]

Each closure has its use and its reason to be used, even for aesthetic choices. This closure, if made well, lasts over time, integrates well with some types of chains, bracelets and necklace clasps. (I use google translator, excuse the errors)

[@teno777]

scaffoal thank you very much for your answer scaffoal. I am working on a « standalone » clasp that ties both ends of a spliced rope. I craft the clasp from titanium and I explore new ways to make it, hence my question.

[@donwatts6588]

How long does it take to make one

[@تعلمصناعةالفضة]

What is the chainsaw number you are using please?❤❤❤

[@a0cdhd]

I have made several attempts at this closure with varying degrees of success. The problem I have is that when soldering the release button the spring, the spring loses its spring. Have you had this problem? Further to my last comment, I was using .7mm 925 silver and the closure was a bit smaller than yours which I might add was much more pleasing to the eye.

[@scaffoal]

it is normal, the metal when it is heated loses its elasticity. you have to hammer the spring lightly, in order to harden it.

[@lunchtraytm427]

hi how thick was the material used? 0.4 mm?

[@paulf3]

Where did you get those pliers?

[@scaffoal]

or by Mario Di Maio or by Luigi Daltrazzo

[@flyingcheff]

How do you attach a necklace or bracelet? I see no connecting places. Beautiful piece!

[@scaffoal]

it can be used for various types of jewelry, depending on the use the necessary pieces are welded.

[@flyingcheff]

Does that mean you would solder (weld) on another component? Perhaps jump rind attachment? It is very beautiful. Thank you for making these gorgeous videos and pieces.

[@flyingcheff]

I looked through all the questions and nobody asked how the beautiful clasp is to be attached to a necklace, how odd that no one else wonders, did I miss something?

[@cavokdotcom]

That totally depends on what you're attaching. Three strands of pearls would be completely different than a large Cuban chain, for instance..

[@leticiablau8593]

Flying Chef probably because that's a dumb question

[@sasadw95]

@@leticiablau8593 there are no dumb questions especially when you are trying to learn something new :)

[@alifadaei5142]

I think one of the most important part in clasp making was missing. After soildering, heat ruins elastic form of the clasp(it's inevitable after annealing process). How come do you manage to get it back without scratch?

[@scaffoal]

if the slot that allows the passage of the spring is precise, it takes very little for the spring to catch.

[@CamiloHPNunes]

Great ! How much for one like this ? Do you ship to Brazil ?

[@scaffoal]

This type of closure is expensive to manufacture, it is used for important hooks or bracelets. there are similar closures made with molds by specialized firms, less refined but much cheaper. However we can make to order what the customer wants and send it. If you are interested you can contact [e-mail] for quotes and shipping costs.

[@a0cdhd]

I have made several attempts at this closure with varying degrees of success. The problem I have is that when soldering the release button the spring, the spring loses its spring. Have you had this problem?

[@scaffoal]

it is normal, the metal when it is heated loses its elasticity. you have to hammer the spring lightly, in order to harden it.

[@a0cdhd]

Thank you most kindly for your reply. Yes I understand that the spring needs to be work hardened after it is heated but the spring is quite small (less than 5mm x 10mm x.5mm and work hardening tends to deform it somewhat. The spring release button was formed by slitting the end of the spring into three prongs. The centre prong was bent upwards to form a small goose neck which when pressed down, released the catch. Very difficult to work harden. Never mind, I'll work out something, perhaps using fine spring steel. By the way, your work is most elegant.

muy buen trabajo, yo soy joyero desde los 13 años , solo que para mi, el detalle en el interior también cuenta, yo aprendi a hacerle el mate de oro por dentro de las joyas, así el brillo, es afuera y por dentro también

[@scaffoal]

Es cierto que una joya debe terminarse de la misma manera en todas las partes, incluso en aquellas ocultas a la vista. A menudo, las demandas del mercado nos llevan a omitir detalles ocultos a la vista.

[@omarvillegass134]
