Thank you for another clear Beaducation explanation! I very much appreciate that you take the time to show some troubleshooting tips at the end of the video..... always good to be proactive!
Hi we have a great beginner class called Stamping on Metal. It covers all the basics, the tools, tip and tricks for stamping! Check it on our channel or on our site. www.beaducation.com/stamping
Valerie Mott On those cuffs, I just made sure that the tail was on the inside of the cuff and I gave it a really nice tight squeeze (with my chain nose) to keep it in place. If you wrap the wire on tight and squeeze that tip, it should stay in place. This way the wire is in the inside of the bracelet and will not catch on anything an pull open. File that tip down slightly if it isn uncomfortable. Have fun :)
Great! If you hurry, we just so happened to be having our biggest stamp sale of the year right now through April 3rd 2017. Check it out! www.beaducation.com/pc/165-metal-stamping-tools
We would recommend using a metal shear, jewelers saw, or guillotine. The Fat Daddy will work well for short cuts, but not for cutting long strips off of a piece of sheet.
Its totally personal preference. I tend to stamp my letters close to each other. I get more space that way. But it also depends on the size of the letters. For more stamping tips, check out the link below. www.beaducation.com/online_classes/20-stamping-on-metal?cat=11
Hi. Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm keen to try making cuffs - they seem like lots of fun. I was wondering though, if you have any tips or a tutorial on how to stamp on the outside surface like the cuff but on ready-make full circle bangles?
Nourish BodyBaby great question! To stamp on ready made bracelet, I have either stamped on a round mandrel or sometimes you can hang the piece over the corner of you bench block and do it that way (this option doesn't work too well with tightly round stuff). Check out this product video on riveting on a mandrel. beaducation.com/product_videos/162-riveting-on-a-mandrel You would use the same setup for stamping. Hope this helps :)
You can use a 4mm letter. I just wouldn't get too close to the 6mm. If you stamp too close to the edges of the metal, it can get more distorted. Check out the helpful charts on the link below to help with picking your letters. www.beaducation.com/how-to-stamp-on-metal
thanks for this tutorial! A few questions: Would you recommend using tape to hold down the metal? What thickness (mm) is the silver? Is there a minimum or maximum thickness that you recommend? Thank you ~
You can certainly tape it down. We use stamping tape. Check out other stamping tutorials and info below. This wire is 1mm thick, we also carry 1.5mm thick. And it's 5mm wide but we also carry it in 7mm. The thickness we carry is what we have always worked with. The thicker the metal, the harder it is to stamp. But this thickness works great for this project:) Check out the tools and materials list below. www.beaducation.com/online_classes/143-say-it-on-your-wrist-stamped-cuff
@@beaducation what I meant was do you have stamps with general shapes that you can use to make your own designs like the punches that are used for leather working?
you can stamp on bezel wire but it is quite thin so you cant stamp too hard. All stamping done before soldering. Check out this class www.beaducation.com/online_classes/81-soldered-rings-and-bezels
I want my letters on my cuff to look Nice and dark, but I can't seem to get my letters dark enough using a sharpie marker, especially after I've used a nail buffer to remove the extra ink of the aluminum . Is there something I'm doing wrong or could try instead? Help!
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply. I just found your comment in "likely spam" (weird!). Most likely you aren't getting your letters deep enough and when you go to clean the surface, you are pulling the black out of the letter because they are light. Maybe try striking the stamps a bit harder. Hope this helps!
Hi! I'm not sure if your leather stamps would work. We use steel stamps that are made specifically for creating impressions into soft metals. You can see our selection of stamps here: www.beaducation.com/shop/metal-stamping-tools-c-101.html
+Gloria Borrero Hi Gloria! Thanks for the question. You do not need to anneal dead soft material before you get started. Here's a link to our Bracelet Blanks for you to check out: www.beaducation.com/product_categories/240-bracelet-blanks Have a great day!
Hi! We sell aluminum that is perfect for stamping. Yes, you will need very soft material so you don't damage your stamps. Visit our shop to check out what we have: www.beaducation.com
For the very ends, we use files and sand papers. For the lengthwise sides, I use a metal that already has rounded edges so no need to polish there. I hope I am understanding our question right :). Here is a link to the flat wire that I used. beaducation.com/pc/258-wire-sheet-metal?utf8=✓&qry=&choices%5B128%5D=on&sort_order=Default
Great tutorial! Thank you. What was the size of the flat wire you used? And where did you get it?! I am having such a hard time finding it online!! Thanks! - Ali
We don't make jewelry to sell, we just teach how. Do a search on Etsy for "stamped jewelry" and you will find a lot of great makers. Sending healing vibes to your daughter!
Hi Mz Jazz! You can use other materials, you just want to make sure that they are soft materials. We do offer a copper flat wire you may be interested in, www.beaducation.com/shop/copper-flat-wire-17g-14-wide-sold-by-ft-p-2666.html
Hello Lisa! I want to stamp on sterling silver 925, which size (mm) would you says it's ok to?. And thanks for all your videos, they are so helpful!! :) xx
THANKS! but know I have another question...to be more specific, I don't want to stamp in one side and then the design shows in the opposite side, because basically I want to stamp in both sides of the silver piece. Is 5mm still ok?
Alexandra Kirsch Hi, the measurement of the sterling flat wire that you will be concerned with is the 1.5mm, that is how thick it is. 5mm refers to the width. 1.5mm thick is usually thick enough to stamp on both sides but it is very hard to avoid the scuff marks. When you stamp on side 1 you get scuff marks on side 2. Make sure your bench block is very smooth and try stamping lightly.
After cutting the corners, you'll use a coarse file and then finish with finer sanding option. Here is a link to the file: beaducation.com/collections/files-reamers-brushes-drills/products/coarse-flat-file
Hi, As with any metal, there is always a risk that your skin will react adversely. The other concern with aluminum can be oxidation, if it has not been anodized properly.
You can also use this solution by applying it with steel wool. I would do a search online on how to do that. We unfortunately do not cover that technique.

How do you account for the spaces when you are stamping? I noticed you allowed 2 numbers between each word, but when stamping how do you gauge that?
Its totally personal preference. I tend to stamp my letters close to each other. I get more space that way. But it also depends on the size of the letters. For more stamping tips, check out the link below.

Yes, stamping before soldering!
Do you have tools for artists who
want to create there own designs
with out learning the complicated
process of stamp making and die
making?
We sell already made stamps. We do not carry or teach how to make them :(

@@beaducation what I meant was do you have stamps with general
shapes that you can use to make
your own designs like the punches

Use liver of sulfur
Could I possibly use any type of metal stamp? I started to stamp leather a while ago so I have a lot of metal stamps for that. Would that work or ???
Hi! I'm not sure if your leather stamps would work. We use steel stamps that are made specifically for creating impressions into soft metals. You can see our selection of stamps here: www.beaducation.com/shop/metal-stamping-tools-c-101.html
Did you have to anneal the wire first or is Dead Soft sufficiently soft and not necessary to anneal? Thanks for the great info.!

thank you very much :)
Hi can you tell me what size stamp set you used please? Thank you.
This looks like a 3.2mm.

What type of file do you use?
After cutting the corners, you'll use a coarse file and then finish with finer sanding option. Here is a link to the file: beaducation.com/collections/files-reamers-brushes-drills/products/coarse-flat-file
Could you use aluminum or would skin react weird to that?
Hi, As with any metal, there is always a risk that your skin will react adversely. The other concern with aluminum can be oxidation, if it has not been anodized properly.
can this chemical reaction work on goldfilled material ?
The solution used in this class is made for silver. There may be other products on the market that are designed to work with gold filled.
You can also use this solution by applying it with steel wool. I would do a search online on how to do that. We unfortunately do not cover that technique.
