    I’m still binge watching your videos…while my pickle is heating up…I just can’t seem to get enough of all the cool stuff that you are sharing with us on RUclips❤ I noticed your flux brush. Is this some special brush with animal hair or just a generic paintbrush? 🖌️ if it’s something that I could buy on one of the jewelry supplies places, I sure would love to know what kind of brush you are using. Thank you very much, Michelle

    Here I am binge watching your videos… I haven’t tried this project yet because I need to find some really cool stones. Now I do have a lot of sea glass from Hawaii, and various other beaches, but they’re all shaped very differently. So if I do have to use beach glass, I would have to shape them and I feel like I’m not doing the sea glass justice in its natural form… question for you, would you reshape the sea glass in order to make a really cool bracelet????

    • @ringgoldnic
      @ringgoldnic 13 часов назад

      If you shave down the edges of your glass it won't look as ocean-polished. If you go that route, I would suggest you re-tumble them.

    I'm thinking of using two spheres, one inside the other (with the outermost also having a few shape modifications) to construct a bell. Do you think that would be possible with this technique? Since bells are quite thin compared to these spheres, would a different technique be better, I wonder?

    • @ringgoldnic
      @ringgoldnic 9 дней назад

      Yes, it is possible. For the inside hollow form you would need to use hard solder. For the outside sphere you can use either medium or easy so that the solder on the inside sphere does not reflow.

    I'm not even a silversmith, but I absolutely love your creativity and how you teach. Just recently saw you have a book coming out as well, and I'm so excited about it. I bought a glass grinder (used for stained glass) on FB yardsale that works much the same way as your drill press, and I'll have to try it to make cobachons. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent here on YT.😊🙏💖🪄

    Thank you. I am working on a copper top for a wooden box that needs a texture and I'm sure there is something here I can use. With some textures I find it easier to work with the handpiece in a clamp and hold the workpiece with both hands.

  • @weirdlywiredjewelry
    @weirdlywiredjewelry 24 дня назад

    Great texturing techniques, and a reminder that using things in ways different than how they were meant to be used can offer unique possibilities! The cut off wheels are brittle and can break very easily, so please remember to wear eye protection!
