In the 11th episode I am going to show you how you can use rivets to make connections. Maybe your piece prevents you from soldering (for instance when you are repairing a piece with gemstones) or you are just looking for another way to acchieve the same result. Rivetting might be it for you. And it does have some extra plusses. You can use invisible rivets, but you can place them in plain sight as well. Why not use them as a decorative element? Or how about adding moving pieces to your jewelry? In this tutorial I am showing you how you can use this technique to your benefit.
If you have always wanted to become a metalsmith or are interested in making your own jewelry than feel free to watch all 18 episodes of my metalsmithing course. You can find the entire course right here on my youtube channel. Just check out the 'free metalsmithing and jewelry making' playlist.
The metalsmithing tool kits are no longer available on my website. It was taking up too much time that I would rather spend behind the bench. The companies listed below are stepping in and would love to help you out. Best part: they even offered some great discount codes!
To end up, I would like to point out that all my videos are and will remain free. In return, it would be awesome if you could take the time to share my channel on your socials or with your metalsmithing friends. That's all. I think it's a privilege to create a community of people doing what I love most. So thank you so much for your support, it means the world to me.
Have a wonderful day,
