How to Use a Margin Roller for Finishing Metalsmithing Edges

[@beverlyflowers6938]

I totally get what you’re talking about! And I could tell that you are just as emphatic about that particular aspect of a piece as I am. And a lot of people, as you mentioned, don’t even realize that it is an issue, even though they may feel it and notice that it doesn’t have a very good hand feel to it or they may see it and notice that it doesn’t have a very nice look to it, yet they still don’t really get why that is. It’s just something that doesn’t click for a lot of people. But it’s a huge thing for me and I’m ordering one now! Thank you so much for the demo!

You are so very welcome! Details are everything. :)

I have this small tool, and I've never known what to do with it. This is a great tip! Thank you!

[@JewelryArts]

You are very welcome! Have fun with it. :)

Thank you so much for this video! This is exactly what I was looking for! Please tell me: can I use it on brass? Cause I don’t work with silver by now, all I have is 0,5 mm brass

[@JewelryArts]

You are very welcome! It will work just as well on copper, brass as any other jewelry metal. 😃

I had no idea this existed. Margin Roller, huh? Well, I'll be getting one for sure! Thanks so much.

Awesome! You convinced me! I’m getting one for my bench now ~ was just placing an order with Rio for a loupe so I’ll add this on too! Btw, love your videos! I watch some of them over and over again to make sure I’m learning what you’re teaching. I wish you were somewhere nearer to where I live as I’d love to have you as an instructor! Love your energy! And, thank you for sharing!

May I know can I do this effect by sandpaper?

[@JewelryArts]

Sandpaper will smooth the surface but it will not thicken the edges. 😃

Hi, do you need to use bur-life or any similar lubricant with it?

[@JewelryArts]

Nope, I never do. :)

Jello Jeanette, I' ve got my margin roller 😊. I think I make something wrong... After using the edges right and left next to my line are getting a sharp ege, that I have to sand. So it looses a part of it's thicker edge. I also tried to make fist to make the line and make the edges after also with the margin roller in a about 45 degree angle. I don't know, if it is the right way... I hope you have had a good start into the year 2022 and keep on making your videos. Thank you for teaching me so much. Greetings from Germany Maren

[@JewelryArts]

Hi Maren Happy New Year! Hmmmm, you need to use the margin roller directly on the outside edge of the metal and just a few strokes per section. Is that what you are doing?

[@marenc9648]

@@JewelryArts... Yes, I did t I that way...

[@JewelryArts]

@@marenc9648 Could you shoot a little video of you using it and email it to me?It would be really helpful to understand what is happening.

[@marenc9648]

@@JewelryArts I'll do it. Thank you very much

[@brandied.7706]

What is the difference in sizes? TIA

[@JewelryArts]

It just depends on what you are using it for. The one on my site is the most versatile , in my experience.

[@TwoGrainsOfGold]

Excellent video! I have a question: I want to buy one of these rollers and went on your website but how does is the device powered? It is attached to some power source at the end there? Thanks a bunch!

[@JewelryArts]

Thanks! You put it in a flex shaft, dremel or microtorque. :)

[@TwoGrainsOfGold]
