Hi there! Did you know that by subscribing you become this channel's superhero?? It's true! You personally contribute to the production of new content and videos! Thank you so much 😀😍
OMG , Stardust when I saw your pendant evolving, my heart began pounding. That piece strongly resembling one of my first . Again OMG. Stardust , your tutorials truly bring me joy..
Ordered this and am very happy with the tool😊. Unfortunately made a mistake and ended up with 2 center positioning dies🤪, so if anybody is interested in it let me know.
Love your videos by the way have learned so much here thank you for all your postings.
Your patience and intricate detail skills are so amazingly beautiful ❤️
wow, thank you so much for the sweetest words! I really appreciate it :) There's definitely room for improvement, but I'm happy you liked it ❤️ Thank you for watching!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I may not comment much on your videos. But I love your channel and I've learned so much. Thanks for sharing your artistic skills and knowledge with all of us!!!
@@KellieB I really appreciate it dear! Thank you
Hiya again, I'm back and you thought it was safe!
A few words about this kit... I WANT ONE!!!! I've been watching a load of You Tube videos on products and reading manufactures blurb and this kit...
1) As you say the under cut so that the disc and punch clear the die as part of the cutting process is perfect. I've made very many professional sound multi-cores with 32 plugs and sockets at the ends, a lot of round holes to punch so I do know a good hole when I see one. This kit does the job perfectly as far as I can see.
2) The chamfer on the strike end of the punch, looks neat, nice clean edge... it is to delay the forming of mushrooming down of the metal of the punch. That protects your hand from sharp and I mean sharp curls of steal bending over and also their jamming in the die.
3) The mat. Takes the rebound out of the strike as you hit the punch thus dampening shock and sound. Also protects your bench or whatever surface you use this on. Protects the disc and punch as they fall free.
4) Lube, perfect for long term use protecting the punch and dies.
5) Holder, perfect for keeping it all together in one place. I hate the, 'Now where is the 1/4" punch' saga...
Would I love this more in metric? Yes but I could live with inches just cos it's all so good. Would I love to try Pepe tools products and others to review? Yes, but I don't do videos partly cos my voice is bad, half my vocal cords are frozen, such is life.
Thank you for reading, take care...
Definitely need this when I can afford it!! Love your videos!
Me too... The punch and the videos.
Great video! I enjoyed seeing the whole process of the pendent and the review!
thank you so much dear, really appreciate your sweet comment! :))
I have never heard of this tool.it looks amazing with ur talent...hope u r doing well. U have quite a nice set-up. Thanks 🙏🏻 for the demos...u r so talented... i also enjoy the music. Gr8 choice...
thank you Mike! For watching and for your kind feedback, so happy you feel this way :)
Love it!! Thank you for sharing your process AND progress with us. 🤗
Thank you Lindi! This pendant was a bit of an interesting challenge, as I've never actually made anything like this in particular. It was fun 😄
Stardust Mine Jewellery Well, it came out to be perfect! I really liked the watercolor painting too. Reminded me of my childhood actually. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@tealdreams thank you so much sweetie! My pleasure, and you are most welcome ❤️
stunning!
OMG! This necklace is beautiful! You are so talented. I am currently watching all your videos, and I am learning a lot! Thank you for your generosity and creative mind. Love from Norway :)
Thank you so much! That's so very kind ❤️ Really happy you've enjoyed it :))
Waw this is so beautiful 👏🏻
I have to upgrade to this. I have one from a craft store that often bends my metal making it difficult to come out. Also this is the ultimate metalsmith piece! beautiful job!
yeah, so true! These punches have this angle, which make a whole difference when cutting. I also have a simple, cheap disc cutter with 5 different sizes, but it's so much harder to use it because the punches are flat. Cutting is much harder, and metal bends. Making the cutting side angled was a brilliant idea :)) Hope you can upgrade to this one soon!! :)
same here!! lesson learned spend the money and get the nice one the first time around plus i need smaller discs for my makers mark tags for my necklaces and bracelets
so many good tips.. just by watching your process.. thanks for sharing!
thank you so much for watching Sherice! Happy to see you here againg lovely ❤️
Great video and work, Basia! 👍🏻
I don’t have a disc cutter, since I’m learning enamel, I’m working more with metal sheets, so a disk cutter is now very high on top of my wishlist!
Thank you so much Karolien! :) I think this tool would be very useful in your workshop, there's many uses, it speeds up the production time, and you would probably be able to think of new ways to use it! 💛
Hi Basia! All of your recommendations are the best! I just got this disc cutter!And I loved the process part of this - such intricate detail and work!! Beautiful results!
My question is: You mentioned that you have other videos about the various other uses for the Pepe Tools disc cutter. But I’ve looked through your videos and somehow am not finding it. I’ll keep searching but can you possibly leave a link for me to find it easier? I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Kristin
Hiya Dear Lady Stardust and thank you for a great video. A few points, if I may?... I hope in order...
Why is the centre knob 'Easy to hit'? Did you mean 'Easy to miss'?
Most videos on this sort of punch call for an equal thickness shim under the opposite side to the metal you are cutting to stop the top disk tilting. Having never used one I can only go on what Soham and other reviewers have said???
I love the 'fish eye' look of this pendant... Very clever...
I love the use of a different metal for the moon, great contrast. The use of the blackening fluid is always wonderful.
Do they make the kit in metric?
The 3/8" did not fit it's hole in the plastic base, small matter but is it indicative of other sizing?
You cut off the last word...
BUT, a fantastic video great to see you not just stamp out two discs, but to see it in different metals takes the viewer on a trip into your wooded hills as we travel with you as you make the piece from scratch. Your skill with the saw is inspiring, thank you... What blade and thickness of silver did you use?
More like this please they teach a lot.
Hi Steve! Thanks so much for great comment, as always :) Great point about the "easy to hit" part! Oh dear, of course that's not what I meant, yet somehow it made it to the final version. I will make a note of it in the description box under the video. Thanks, good catch!
So, because I've used fairly thin metal sheet in the video (0.50mm) I didn't mention using the shim on the opposite side. But it's true, that using it will be advised with the thicker gauge metal, to balance the top plate of the cutter. I've used 6/0 blade for sawing.
Ah yes... the last word has been cut short, because the video got corrupted while exporting yet again! This time however I've decided to leave it as it is, thinking that done is better than perfect.
I'm super happy you liked the project and the video, thanks so much for wtching! :))
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 0.5 mm, and that's enough thickness? I have learnt from you yet again... Plus about the non need for the shim, I would have used 0.8mm and waisted money, thank you. I'm doing a friends name in silver, 1mm as there is nothing added on to it to add strength and thickness, maybe try 0.8 for the next one? I know some teachers/jewellers don't rate paste solder but I like you do. The pluses you mention don't seem relevant to some, "If your not using a borax cone and hard solder your not doing it right"... Hum, if you can't see the solder then the slight colour change doesn't matter and sometimes hard needs too much heat and your parts are so small and fine looking!
I did like the idea of hitting the locking knob as part of the way to use it... and with a brass hammer yet.
Your skill with a saw is awe inspiring, I'm glad you did the videos about sawing.
I've decided that when I win enough on the Euro lottery I'm buying a non sail super boat and going around the world with a super equipped studio! Please join me for Iceland and Japan or in fact anywhere you can get inspiration. New Zealand and the Pacific islands for their native art, but then all around the Med, Rome and the other early cultures like back to Egypt for more of their influence. I've always loved the Greek key motive and Celtic art... I could go on and on and on and...
Take care dear lady... Steve
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you!
You'd do better to put metal of the same thickness across from the metal you're punching. You can see in your video that the top part tilts when you tighten it. That makes it not work as well and makes it wear more quickly.
I agree 😊 I use the shim on the other side, especially for the Thicker metal. It balances the cutter. I didn't use it in the video, but it's best to use it to keep the tool in the perfect working order for longer
You are amazing.
you are an amazing artist, an amazing jewellery maker.... wish i could learn from you face to face. you made saw piercing looks so easy. i just finished my beginners jewellery making class and i didn't like cutting at all...
different people will like different jobs and that's ok! 😀 Maybe your favourite will be soldering or texturing. Just make sure to have fun and never pressure yourself ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing texturing and hammering is definitely so far my favorite. Yes you are right, I really love to go to classes and learn new things, and experiment.
Hi! Where do you buy your silver sheets? Thanks- your videos are very informative
Absolutely beautiful pendant. Your work is so neat. How do you saw such small delicate pieces out so well ?
Do you use a certain type of blade or is you just take your time ?
I’m too heavy handed. Love it.
Thank you so much! That's very sweet 😊 For tiny shapes like this I use 8/0 and I think that lots of practice helps me to saw small shapes like that :) I love sawing, it's a meditative process for me, that definitely contributes too
Hi! Can I ask what flux you ground (?) and used? The flux I use makes solder bits pop up and fly all over the place when heated
What size was the disc you soldered all that onto? It looked like you cut the 1 inch disc but I cant imagine it was that tiny.???
Thanks for this great video ! I would like to know what kind of tip you used to texture the mountains please ?
it was just a regular grinding bit, which is always added to any set of attachments etc :) They come in orange, grey or green colours and various shapes. You'd be able to achieve these textures with old drill bits or dimond bits too! Experiment, it's a lot of fun ❤️
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thank you so much !
Hi, i am a big fan ... I love to see you on youtube.
Regarding the cutting disc machine. Did you order from Pep....tools ? May i ask you how much you bought it & shipping ?
The paper weight, is it a 25 gauge ?
Thank you so much !
Teri 💝
Hi Teri! This cutter has been gifted to me from Pepetools as we did a collaboration together. So I didn't pay for the shipping. Depending on where you live, for the US the price of the cutter can be found on their website here pepetools.com/products/premium-disc-cutting-kit or here if you're in the Europe www.micro-tools.de/en/oxid-oxid-21/Disc-Cutter-Set-Premium-14PC-1-8-1-w-Centering-Punch-Pepetools.html Shipping wise, it also depends on your location and shipping service, so I won't be able to tell. As for the silver, I've used sheet of 0.50mm thickness :) Hope that helps!
Can you tell me please, what paper did you use to stick your design with the silver and what you applied to the silver pendant to get the black area.? I love your pendant is beautiful. ❤ Thanks 😊
double sided tape :) just a simple, thin paper one, I got mine from a craft store. Thank you so much for watching! I'm happy you liked it ❤
One thing I have to say: I WANT ONE ☝🏻😊
Oh Barbara, I can completely understand! 😍 It's awesome, and I mean it!
whats the bit that you used to make the texture on your mts?
it's a silicon carbide grinding stone bit, it's a basic attachment usually included in any set of bits for rotary tools. I used the green one, but orange one will give you the same result. I like to experiment with these bits to see what textures and effects can be achieved :)
👍
❤️ ♾
what is the white stuff on the roll? double sided tape?
yes, that's just a regular double sided tape! :)
Stardust Mine Jewellery thank you for replying , love your channel . Truly inspiring , keep up the great content . I would like to see more videos of you making pieces
Wait, did you say the knob is easy to hit with a mallet? As in that's a good thing or bad thing (I'm thinking that would be a bad thing...)?Also, your work is so gorgeous, you are THE queen of sawing, I'm sure!! And do you ever make your own chains? Thank you Basia.
hahaha, that was a mistake :D what I meant was, that it's easy to avoid the knob 😃 Thank you so much, I love sawing and want to get better and better at it 😊 I don't make my own chains at the moment, for some reason it's not my favourite thing to do!
mind you fingers when using this tool please
so true! I will be careful 😊
