I could listen to you all fay you have such a wonderful soft voice... loved this tutorial and the new apprentice 😅 really looked like she was taking it all in with that pencil ✏️
I just got a rolling mill last week. I could not afford a good one but this one seems to be adequate for now. I would be interested in seeing what you do with the patterned sheet metal after you produce it.
Good info, been smelting tons of silver and pouring molds for customers. In between ive been experimenting with casting and hammering bracelets, rings and flat pendants without a rolling mill. Your tip about the sharpie is very helpful and i will use it. Plus i didn't know charcoal reflects the heat, it takes so much more energy to melt large quantities when the ceramic crucible absorbs the heat.
Hahaha, cieszę się, że Cię rozbawiło 😂 Nie byłam pewna, czy się uda oddać to, co sobie tam umyśliłam w głowie (bo w sumie nigdy za bardzo nie filmuję takich rzeczy), ale jeśli Ci się spodobało, to znaczy, że wyszło 😄
Hi, I am curious to hear more about rolling mills and how to choose a good one. It was suggested by my workshop teacher to not buy a generic one, I suppose they do not stand the test of time. Can you provide some guidance on what we should look for when purchasing a good one or even a used one? (ie. Look for rust, scratches on the roll etc.)
Thank you for this great video. Are different guages of ROUND wire made the same way by passing the silver through this mill? I wish there was a video on that too please ❤
Unfortunately you cannot make round wire with a rolling mill. Instead you can take scrap silver, use the rolling mill to roll out square wire and then pull it through a draw plate to make round wire. 😊
Search for cupcake wrappers. You'll find a lot of simple cupcake paper cups, but you should also find several lace things that work well for running silver through a rolling mill. Maybe you can find a better search term. Being paper they are of course single use only. Kent
Great video very informative If you can help me I’m having trouble making gold wire I can only get to 2mm on the mill If I try the 1.5mm track it messes up I find it difficult to get the wire same wide has the track on the mill for 1.5mm
Thank you for this informative video! Do you think it would work to turn round gold filled wire to half round? Or is it not a good idea since its not true gold but GF! Unfortunately, i couldn’t find any half round GF wire that ships to EU.. Thank you!
I LOVE this video Basia! 😊 You have a great way of mixing humor, tutorial and sponsorship without it feeling like a commercial. I appreciate that. 🫶🏽 Congratulations on partnering with Pepetools. I enjoy patronizing their business. ☺️
That means a lot, Vanessa, thank you so much lovely ❤️ I had a lot of fun making this video, but wasn't sure if people would enjoy this format, so I'm very happy to hear that you did 😊 Thank you for watching!
Hi Lilli, thank you so much! 🥰 I hope you'll find my videos helpful and interesting. This lace fabric didn't work unfortunately, it was a very poor fabric and made a complete mess. I think I've seen people use the lase in the past, but it's probably much better and strong fabric, this one was very old, too ;)
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Okay, good to know! A strong cotton would probably be better, like from a lace curtain. I've played with the idea myself, but have't even started learning silversmithing yet xD One day, thoguh!! And your channel has really sparked my motivation to get started - thank you for all the videos and hours you sped making them =)
Thank you for this nice video 😊. Can I ask you which is the thickness of the metal sheets and how much do I need to tighten the rolling mill? In other words: which is the correct pressure?
GREAT video in every way Basia! Love the tips… the pictorials and the humor! Thanks! A question: Do you pickle and dry off between anneals and rolls? Seems senseless to pickle amd add possible moisture to the equation but your silver looks so clean each time I’m assuming maybe I should?
Thank you, dear! I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️ I pickled the ingot after melting and then I only quenched it after each annealing. I was drying it off with a towel each time as well, before putting it through the rolling mill. I think, perhaps as an extra step - to make sure it's perfectly dry - you can heat it up just a little to make sure it's completely dry before rolling it or storing it away if you're worried the moisture that's left may cause some damage
I always quench metal. But I shouldn't have skipped showing that step in the video, as I can see now that it's not obvious. So, to anyone reading this, after heating up the metal, wait a couple of seconds (to avoid cracking) and then quench your metal. As for the MAPP gas, not sure what exactly you have in mind. But it's not available to everyone. Here's some info: "MAPP gas was widely regarded as a safer and easier-to-use substitute for acetylene, but, early in 2008, its production was discontinued at the only remaining plant in North America that still manufactured it. However, there are many MAPP substitutes on the market, often labeled "MAPP", "MAP-X" or "MAP-Plus" but containing mostly propylene with some propane and in some cases also dimethyl ether." Wikipedia. And at the moment I'm using butane gas in my work, like many others.
Ummmm ...... how long have you been experiencing these duel personalities? Let me see if I can get that other guy to give you the name of a good psychiatrist 😂

I had no idea my wire rolling mill could do anything but stretch wire. Thank you so much for this video
Cute and informative video! Love the tip about using a marker to gauge when metal is annealed enough.
It's one of my most favourite tips from the jeweller's community, it helps a lot :) Thank you so much for watching today! ❤️
Congrats on the beautiful rolling mill!! How blessed!!

Thanks so much for sharing the vid. Yes, it is interesting to see how you use all your scraps. 🥰🤩 thanks again
Thank you so much for watching, Karry 💕 I'm happy you found it interesting
I wonder 🤫how many times you rehearsed to smile so beautifully 😁
Oh, it's all natural! haha :))
Student asking the questions we are all wondering. Lots of good tips and helpful information as always. Thank you!
Seeing your videos always makes my week❤. Love it.
That's so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much ❤️

Very handy! Is the annealing process similar for copper alloys?

@@LilliSkog I took a class once where they used lace edged paper doilies and that seemed to work 🙂
You are a very good explaining metalsmith!! Is the rolling-mill of pepetools very expensiv? Günther Clemenz, Germany
Thank you for this nice video 😊. Can I ask you which is the thickness of the metal sheets and how much do I need to tighten the rolling mill? In other words: which is the correct pressure?
This may be a newbie question, but what type of torch is she using to anneal?

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing thank you Basia! As always great video. I also miss your “Tips” series. Hoping you will come back with some at some point!
@@Susanarylander I have gathered some new ones and will make a new video in the near future 🥰 I'm happy to hear that you enjoy them
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing yay!!! They are AWESOME. I even re-watch them from time to time.
Do you have to pickle it each time you anneal it? Just seems so time consuming
hey ! I want to make rings from some half round wire. Do you think I can make some flat rectangle wire from the half round with the rolling mill ?
I haven't tried this, I'd say you could try with a small piece of wire and see how it goes! :) It might work, it's a pretty mighty tool
@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Thanks!
Amazing ❤
I see you sandwiched your steel pattern between pieces of softer metal, as you know this essential to avoid damaging your rollers.
❤
Thanks for showing what didn’t work.
You didn't quench the silver THAT softens it... and mapp gas works way better to melt silver...
I always quench metal. But I shouldn't have skipped showing that step in the video, as I can see now that it's not obvious. So, to anyone reading this, after heating up the metal, wait a couple of seconds (to avoid cracking) and then quench your metal.
