How I use my ROLLING MILL to make patterns, silver sheet & wires

Рет қаралды 9,621

Today I'm showing you what I use my ROLLING MILL for! If you're wondering whether this tool would be a good investment for your workshop, then I hope seeing this video will help you decide. I use my rolling mill to recycle my silver scrap and turn it into a silver sheet. Something that helps me save money and work towards more sustainable practices in my workshop. I also use it to turn my round wire into a half round or D-shape wire, which I much more prefer for rings. And last, but not least, I love using the mill to transfer interesting textures and patterns onto the metal! I hope you enjoy this video :)

I just got a rolling mill last week. I could not afford a good one but this one seems to be adequate for now. I would be interested in seeing what you do with the patterned sheet metal after you produce it.

Thank you for this great video. Are different guages of ROUND wire made the same way by passing the silver through this mill? I wish there was a video on that too please ❤

@christina6656 4 ай бұрын

Unfortunately you cannot make round wire with a rolling mill. Instead you can take scrap silver, use the rolling mill to roll out square wire and then pull it through a draw plate to make round wire. 😊

Great video very informative If you can help me I’m having trouble making gold wire I can only get to 2mm on the mill If I try the 1.5mm track it messes up I find it difficult to get the wire same wide has the track on the mill for 1.5mm

You are a very good explaining metalsmith!! Is the rolling-mill of pepetools very expensiv? Günther Clemenz, Germany

@designsbykent 9 ай бұрын

Search for cupcake wrappers. You'll find a lot of simple cupcake paper cups, but you should also find several lace things that work well for running silver through a rolling mill. Maybe you can find a better search term. Being paper they are of course single use only. Kent

Brilliant video! I am so grateful I've found your channel 😊I'm curious, did the lace fabric work?

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 9 ай бұрын

Hi Lilli, thank you so much! 🥰 I hope you'll find my videos helpful and interesting. This lace fabric didn't work unfortunately, it was a very poor fabric and made a complete mess. I think I've seen people use the lase in the past, but it's probably much better and strong fabric, this one was very old, too ;)

@LilliSkog 9 ай бұрын

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Okay, good to know! A strong cotton would probably be better, like from a lace curtain. I've played with the idea myself, but have't even started learning silversmithing yet xD One day, thoguh!! And your channel has really sparked my motivation to get started - thank you for all the videos and hours you sped making them =)

Thank you for this nice video 😊. Can I ask you which is the thickness of the metal sheets and how much do I need to tighten the rolling mill? In other words: which is the correct pressure?

@Susanarylander 9 ай бұрын

GREAT video in every way Basia! Love the tips… the pictorials and the humor! Thanks! A question: Do you pickle and dry off between anneals and rolls? Seems senseless to pickle amd add possible moisture to the equation but your silver looks so clean each time I’m assuming maybe I should?

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 8 ай бұрын

Thank you, dear! I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤️ I pickled the ingot after melting and then I only quenched it after each annealing. I was drying it off with a towel each time as well, before putting it through the rolling mill. I think, perhaps as an extra step - to make sure it's perfectly dry - you can heat it up just a little to make sure it's completely dry before rolling it or storing it away if you're worried the moisture that's left may cause some damage
