Making a Cup Setting: A Silversmithing Tutorial

[@TheWaterMarbler]

Lol I love it when you get your wife's advice. She has good taste. ❤ -Ariel

[@chadssilversmithing]

Agreed! She usually steers me in the right direction:)

[@carolshuey1972]

All your designs are resplendent!

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Carol! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a “resplendent” before:). You’re awesome!

[@toinettevanschalkwyk8378]

Very nice! Not my taste but it's absolutely beautiful and my brain is running away with inspiration and new ideas. Keep them coming, Chad. We love your work and designs.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks Toinette! I will!

You tipped it to make sure the solder flows all the way through the seam 😉

[@chadssilversmithing]

Bravo!!!

Could you share your process of polishing the gap in the ring underneath the cup setting. That is something I really struggle with.

[@chadssilversmithing]

Hello Bavarian Girl! I use a variety of skinny felt polishing bits and polishing compound.

Chad- where did you get your bench block? Looks custom made…

[@chadssilversmithing]

I bought someone's tools when they weren't going to metalsmith anymore, and he told me a welder friend made it for him:)

If it wasn't orange, tho...

[@chadssilversmithing]

Hehe! Not a fan of orange I guess:)
