@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful! I determine the size of the sawblade based on the gauge of metal I’m working with. I typically use 5/0 for 22 gauge. In this video I have a chart showing which size saw blade to use with each gauge of metal. I’d check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psegrdieyJywqps.html

I only oxidized it though for the purpose of this video to show the detail of the final product! I will be using this flower to adorn a statement turquoise pendant I am working on. Once everything is soldered and polished for the pendant, I will then re-oxidize the entire piece (including this flower embellishment) :)

Interesting but very wasteful, cutting a tiny flower in the middle of your sheet???
@SpiritMountainSilver
@SpiritMountainSilver 8 ай бұрын
Haha I’ve address this comment already once before. It is very difficult to film yourself while silversmithing…. and this was probably my 30th take🤣. I’m aware it’s wasteful but I was determined to get a good video for all my viewers, and after filming and messing up time and time again, I wasn’t going to scrap this final take because I wasn’t on the very edge of the sheet like I should have been. Now that would have been wasteful! Plus, I’m sure most folks watching will know to not be as wasteful when they go to try this out themselves. Silver ain’t cheap.
@No1Jennywren
@No1Jennywren 8 ай бұрын
@@SpiritMountainSilver I did wonder that it easier for filming. My first tutor in 1977 did say that it was something that was done by her students who did not get the most out of their metal. The cost of silver these days makes you get the most out of your sheet which I have always done as I am also a dressmaker so used to dovetailing with minimal wastage.
@johnthomas6224
@johnthomas6224 6 ай бұрын
It’s never really a waste for me if I have to I will but I could always melt it down and then draw it back out to a sheet with my hammer and anvil.
