That surely is a very manly, beefy, brawny ring. I'm sure the client loves it!

That is frigging awesome I absolutely love it. I had no way you could melt down those single ingots. I have a powerful butane torch wirh small flame outlet. I have seen other jewellers use it. Do you think it would work? 24k is soft as can be. I can't get over how you made that. It is so impressive. From a local jewellers here £900 easy for a single 5gram 24kbgold ingot £300 what a saving

If you want to remove the taper that comes from forming it on the mandrel, you can size up that last size by hammering it on a socket instead of a mandrel. The trick is to have the ring a smidge smaller than the socket and then hammer the socket through the inside of the ring. The chamfer on the socket and the taper inside the ring make this operation possible. Then hold the socket in a vise with the ring around it and hammer to size just as you'd do with a mandrel.

I also found that fusing is a butt-clencher for sure 😆, though far preferable than using solder and 'contaminating' a pure piece imo!! EDIT: BTW I found that sticking a wad of ceramic-wool through the middle of the ring makes it 'safer' to heat from the outside, gives it support so it doesn't collapse

Have you tried a liquid flux to fuse the 24k gold? Great video, thanks!
@mustachemetalworks

GIVEN: My understanding of flux is that it is used to quell the formation of oxidation and other atmospheric gases interactions with metals that are being heated. When the heated flux shields the metal, it prevents these contaminations that would otherwise jeopardize the structural integrity of the "joint". GIVEN: Gold doesn't interact with any atmospheric gases, even in the liquid phase. THEREFORE: No need to use a flux with fusing 24k gold.

You’re the only person I’ve seen use 24k to fuse at the end. Anyone know why jewelers use lower karat gold to fuse?
@mustachemetalworks
@mustachemetalworks Жыл бұрын
Using the "base" metal (in this case: 24k gold) is the only way to "fuse". Using a lower karat gold, which probably has a lower melting point, is technically a solder, because the base metal now has a lower karat solder in-between the two sides. A real "fused joint" requires the base metal to melt and solidify with only the base metal. I use 24k dust and chips to add extra metal to the joint but I technically don't need to. I could just let the two ends melt and solidify. Using the beneficial melting properties of a lower karat gold is cheating if advertised as a "fused joint"

What is the surface you melt the gold on? Thank you
@mustachemetalworks
@mustachemetalworks Жыл бұрын
Charcoal block. Theoretically... pure carbon. Low coefficient of thermal conductivity. Wet with water to prevent combustion. Re-wet after every flame. I dug a hole to allow the gold to sit in without risking a mess!

@mustachemetalworks
@mustachemetalworks Жыл бұрын
Trust me, that's not a good idea. The anvil will soak up the torch heat and you'll end up with a hot anvil and a warm piece of gold.
