⚠️ Videos in my channel show how I do things myself. Please take full responsibility for your own safety. Always wear safety goggles, ear defenders to protect yourself. Make sure the area is well ventilated and wear gloves to protect your hands when dealing with chemicals and dust. Use a full face shield when needed, and use heat-proof tweezers to pick up hot items, etc. In any situation, always read, understand and follow your manufacturer’s guidelines and seek help if in doubt.

Beautifully made guide !

Nice how you show all the steps clearly, explain & demonstrate. We get to see the lovely final product & learn how it was fabricated learning techniques we can apply in similar situations. So helpful, informative & inspiring, reminiscent of the great Jimmy Diresta. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this!
I do know of goldsmiths/metalsmiths who made scoring tools out of the tangs of old needle files to make crisp/precise folds when making boxes and scored lines.
It had never occurred to me to that I could use a square graver as a scoring tool - genius!
I could use power-assist but hand pushing will work too I reckon. I’m much better at holding a straight line with a graver compared to scoring lines using a square/triangle file which (for me) tend to end up looking skewed and uneven. 🙂

Im enjoying your channel. You really film well. I'm guessing 99% of viewers don't have a Graver Max. Using a file is totally doable and makes the shown procedure successful without having a $4000 tool. Thank goodness! Also, I'm wondering why you use easy solder - at all? Thanks for sharing your experience,.it's a sweet simple and very precise box clasp, so good to see good teaching! 👏

I couple of weeks ago I used an older video of yours to make a box latch. It was really helpful.
