Tutorial Tuesday - Chasing and Repousse series #6: A demonstration of repousse

In the 6th edition in the Chasing and Repousse series of Tutorial Tuesday, I demonstrate repousse, embossing metal from the back with hammer and chisel. I am using the Medium grade California Red pitch, and the Master Set Chasing tools made by SC Studios LLC, and available at metalsmithing-tools.com

Beautiful.

[@ss5gogetunks]

The hammer strikes sound like a power tool sped up so fast!
Very impressive thanks for this! I'm excited to try it out. I'm going to start by making my own repousse punches. Money's tight :P

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Thanks David, I'm glad you enjoyed. Good luck

Soothing

[@grandadz_forge]

I make all of my own tools but after seeing your website it would be sweet to just plop down cash and get the whole bundle. LOL Maybe in my next life. LOL

[@annabr776]

If for some reason I had to stop on a project and come back to it later or even the next day, would I need to do anything like softening
the pitch? Thanks.

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Sometimes if it is very cold outside, I will warm the pitch slightly, but besides that, no

[@---Blue]

Worst case heating up the pitch will help soften it, in desperate times you might be able to use the Oven for a while

[@Justoaqui]

Awsome work bro , is that brass copper or what kind of flexible metals could be used , thanks .

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

This is 32 oz copper. Just about any sheet metal could be used, with the proper technique

[@karidust1]

I love Repousse. I just wish I could really do it that fast! Lol

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Me too!

Hi everybody, Try to use chisel with ball on the end. Much better and easy to do 3d

[@ulfheinni.b2633]

oh, and by the way... can wax be used as pitch?

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Some people use microcrystalline wax instead of pitch, but it is not sticky so it is better to be used to fill vessels instead of using in a bowl with flat pieces

[@jeweltech3081]

What is the components of pitch? Plz

[@ulfheinni.b2633]

the piece of metal and the "drawing" (let's call it so) that one is going to use must be whider than the final product, right?
I beg you pardon if my English isn't the best. I'm from Portugal and don't have many changes to write in English, for that its a liiiitle bit rusty. x)

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

The piece of metal that the design is on should be larger than the design, to minimize distortion, and give the pitch room to overlap and hold in place

[@beebeeralli2507]

So when you switch to Repousse do you also switch hammer, to heavier hammer? Or use same hammer you were using when you were chasing? Thank you, Bonnie

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Good question. Yes I’ll typically switch to larger sized hammer when I switch to repousse depending on the tool size.

[@diamond2love]

Any power tool involved or simply hammering?

[@user-tm5rb3ne3e]

Only hammering
