Thanks Victoria! I wasn't originally planning on filming this repair, but I'm so glad I did! I'm happy your father has his wedding ring back good as new.

How much did this cost ?

@@notryan7399 rude

The Adventures of Maverick and Red it can be seen as rude but if this person has the same problem and wants to know how much it could cost to get their ring fixed.

@@notryan7399 He replied below that it would be between 100-300 Dollars :)

You're so welcome! Very happy you loved it.

Machinists don't wear jewelry for this reason.

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 true. Which her dad should know.

Yep. Leave the jewellery for the ladies. Rings are an amputation waiting to happen on any worksite.

@@forsaken7161 True. Note the "was a machinist" and not "is currently a machinist"

Ring avulsion? 🤢

agree. it is an excellent video.

Neat

That’s beautiful

@@keziahjose5906 Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it too! 💜

@@LaynieFingers You are so lucky to have an heirloom. I've always wanted something in my family from the past given to future generations. Just being able to tell the backstory of something like that is wonderful.

@@depressantdrug It really is. It's not worth that much money, but the sentimental value is priceless.

Just so we are clear, and not to sound pedantic, but it must be noted that gold is NEVER brittle. There is never a time when you can drop gold on the floor and it will shatter or break. When gold is worked, it is primarily the copper or nickel alloy mixed with the gold that hardens. Take a wire hanger and bend it back and forth, eventually it breaks. This is because every time it is bent the hardness increases until it reaches a point of fracture. The same is with the alloy of gold. However, the higher the karat of gold, the longer it takes to harden because it contains less alloy and pure gold is quite a soft malleable metal which is highly resistant to hardening.

Thank you! Hope the video tomorrow is even better....haha!

Underrated comment! 💪👌

She doesn't need those thoXD

5 hours from now a new video will be released. :)

It takes a lot of time but I'm always happy I invested it. Thanks for following along!

Thanks for watching!

It’s been a while, but if you still want to know: when I made my own ring at a gold smiths workshop, they have these leather „bags“ that catch all the dust you lose while sawing and filing fixed onto/under the table.

@@lilacwitch69 Thank you. I was expecting to hear something like this.

Global A thanks for your time and comment!

If he still has the pieces, you can still ask a goldsmith for the possibilities.

@@jlammetje I'll ask Dad and see if he would consider a ring repair. It's been a dream of mine to make it happen.

If not a repair, then maybe the gold can be used to make him a new ring

@@brittanyb.300 Even if you don't want another ring made can get a pendant made from the remaining pieces and keep some of it original. if the rings totalled then you could still do something with the remaining stones and melt down the gold. I hope you can get it done, you may need to ask your dad if you can steal it for a little bit and give him a surprise. Or if hes now down for that then maybe you can show him a few designs of remade vintage Jewellery? Old Jewellery is often remade into something wearable. I kept all my grandpa's cabochon rings to wear and melted down all his other pieces that I'd never wear. I've made them into a 9k gold wire spool that I can cut into individual rings then make a chain from. knowing me I'll probably remelt it down and add more gold and make something else. In the end it'll still have my grandpa's gold and memories :).

@@KyleTO7 That's a fabolous idea. Thanks Kyle! That's cools you remade something good from your grandpa's rings. I too have inherited some jewelry, but from my granny Billie. Most is costume, some is some is gold, pieces are from her lover. I'll definitely talk to my dad about his ring, when I drive back home to Texas.

I feel for your grandma. Maybe she can wear her rings on a necklace.

I thought the same. I would wear it with the cut or like you said with resin.

you've been watching too many art videos

I don't think the crayon wild adhear very well in warmer or colder or wetter climates. Crayon is not a good adhesive and it's quite volatile.

@@nicanonymus2491 I wore my great grandma's wedding ring with it cut for a while. You'd be surprised just how often the ring will flex and then pinch the bejeezus out of you!

@@LaynieFingers 🤣 You’re absolutely right. And you will rip every cardigan. But it looks cool. 😎

As I understand it, you are a jeweler, if so, then I hope my videos will be useful to you.

Julia Andersson recycling is where it’s at!!

I agree this awesome!

That's why you never sell your jewelry. This is what happens to it.

In other videos, I have seen a tray below where he does the cutting. I'm sure he collects the shavings.

Theres a leather pouch under the bench, kind of like an apron that catches all of that, you clean it out when you switch between different metals so you dont contaminate say gold with silver or platinum. Source: i did a year of goldsmithing school (before my chronic illness took over)

@@galli0 Thanks for the insight :D

25 years in the trade, also run a magnet through the filings to remove broken saw teeth etc,...I have to say this guy is self taught, slow.

@@banjopete thanks for the info, but I don't see any reason to rag on the maker

@@banjopetedifferent process when you're literally making a video for youtube...safe to say hed work differently if he wasnt going for decent camera angles etc.

I apprenticed under a few different master goldsmiths. I have a simple tutorial video coming out tomorrow. I hope to do more!

theres a few variables. the karat of gold, how much material is required for the repair, individuals labor costs etc. melting down metal also is a tricky process. generally you only want to melt down the same karat and colour metal...you caaaan melt different things but you end up with a random karat of gold and it can be quite unstable to work with 😉

MrTwansel good eye! That would be the quality stamp (14kt) I made sure not to remove it. It’s generally stamped pretty deep into the gold and is hard to remove accidentally.

In the American Military it's pretty common for people to put their wedding ring around their dog tag chain. Maybe your parents could consider getting some kind of necklace to put the ring on. Something long enough he could tuck into his shirt while working?

Hey, thanks for the tip! I totally appreciate the sentiment and maybe I can allow myself to let videos go a little longer. I'm usually cutting them down from over 30 minutes of footage. I just fear things will drag! We'll see what happens :)

@@moderngoldsmith Fear is the only thing that holds us back in life. hahahah

I think it's real, there would be a desire)) I will be glad if my videos are shown.
