Thank you. At first I was annoyed an offended by the negatives. But that's just part of the KZfaq fame. Every video will get a thumbs down within seconds of going live. But at the time of writing (June 2020) I have over 6 million views, and 50k subscribers. I receive lovely comments (like this) every day from people all over the world who I have inspired to make jewellery. I get so much genuine thanks and affection from all over the globe. So no I don't worry about a handful of haters with nothing else to do. Thanks for your support and the kind compliments. Dave

Polishing is simply a process of adding scratches, but making them finer and finer, until you cant see them. So yes, using a "super finish" compound will remove any marks from the previous intensive polishing stage.

@CelticDreamsCoUk
@CelticDreamsCoUk 5 жыл бұрын
I have polished quite a few and its basically the same principle. One tip I will say though is to use a wheel small enough to get inside the bowl of the spoon. Using a large bench polisher wheel for example, you'd never get to the deep part of a teaspoon. large wheels can also, wear away the edges, so always go carefully. Also with vintage and antique flatware, do protect the hallmarks, as they can add a lot of value to the pieces, don't polish them away!. Big spoons often get dents, so hammer these out first and sand smooth before polishing. Hope this helps. Perhaops have a look at another polishing video, I did see link.

This is super helpful! One thing I would like to ask is that when do you remove the tape from the hallmarks? I am working on a vintage silver bracelet with dents very close to the textures/hallmarks and really not sure how to start. I don't have any tools at home but just a small dremel
@CelticDreamsCoUk
@CelticDreamsCoUk 4 жыл бұрын
I keep the tap eover the hallmarks all the time. when the rest of the bracelet is totally finished, I will remove the tape and just give it a light polish to blend in the protected area (avoiding any edges where the tape has been). A Dremel is fine, just get the sanding drums and some good (Menzerna) Polish. good luck. Dave

Friction can cause immense heat. I have had rings in my nylon jawed vice and melted the jaws, simply by polishing the ring with a flex shaft. So do watch out for the heat. Yes, I use the Menzerna blue to polish my steel hammers and chasing tools. it does a great job. That said, Menzerna offer a large range of polishes, and so there are probably more specific steel ones that will cut harder. see link.

The difference between a Dremel and a cordless drill is going to be the speed. The Dremel is much faster RPM and so better for these type of things.

That depends on your Dremel. Standard Dremel accessories are 1/8" (3.175mm). Whereas most professional accessories are typically 2.3mm diameter. So you either need to change the collet on your Dremel or swap the chuck for a 3 jaw multichuck. See this link if you don't know what i mean. Dave kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMmcds1oy9uuZmg.html

Dave, I've got a silver convex cuff/bangle with scratches. Tried using a nylon buffing ball with the dremel but I've never worked on such a large solid piece of silver and it's left 'buffing lines'? With a large piece of silver how do you avoid lines the size of the buffing balls width from forming on the silver? The fact that it's convex in shape makes it harder to buff evenly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@CelticDreamsCoUk
@CelticDreamsCoUk 5 жыл бұрын
Note exactly sure what you mean by pitting. In order to avoid cutting grooves or indentation in the metal you must keep the sander moving at all times, and never dwell in one spot. Also keep the sandpaper flat to the surface, don't dig in. It is also vital to cover the entire surface, equally in order to keep it flat and level as you reduce it. Note I don't just sand out the lettering I sad down the entire ID plate equally. Dave

Hi Dave, great video but i just have a question. I am having issues with polishing silver, I normally sand up to 2000 grit then I buff the piece but I still end up with hairline scratches in the silver and I was wondering if you had any advice for how to get rid of those scratches?
@CelticDreamsCoUk
@CelticDreamsCoUk 2 жыл бұрын
The best tip is to keep the mop moving, at right angles to the direction its rotating. for example when using the bench polisher i move the silver right to left as the wheel rotates. for final finish use a soft cotton mop, and remember to clean the piece thoroughly in between each stage. don't contaminate your mops with emery particles from the sandpaper. hope this helps.

Also wanted to ask. We use fine silver to make our products, but we can’t seem to get the shine as Sterling silver does when you buff it. Is pure silver able to be shined like this? Regards

I never really use fine silver, but I don't see why not. Fine silver may be slightly softer, so perhaps try a finer polish. treat it more high carat gold. The menzerna yellow, gives me a good polish on most things. I buy all my supplies from cookosngold.com search for "sander rolls". They also now stock the Menzerna polishes (probably due to my videos) and the small cotton mops. Dave

Hi Dave, I decided to make my own sand barrels in the end. It wasn't too difficult... Quick question, I bought the Menzerna some time ago. One end of the package is open and it's rock hard. I'm wondering how I can cut say, an inch off, to make it easier to use and more handy for the workbench, as it's such a huge block? Thanks !

The polish is made from grease, so if you want to cut it, use an old knife, paint scraper etc, and warm the blade on the cooker. Dave

@CelticDreamsCoUk

It depends on how deep the engraving is and how deep the scratches are. If you think about it, engraving is just a pretty scratch. If you want to be a little more precise over it and just remove the lighter scratches, then look at things like the 3M discs, to just polish small areas. then go over the whole thing lightly with some rogue and a soft mop. to give it that final shine and blend everything together, but not to remove any detail on the engraving.

I use Menzerna Polish which comes from Germany. The Blue is very good for pre polishing as its medium abrasive. The yellow is much finer and gives a brishy finish. Traditionally jewellers use Tripoli and Rouge as a pre polish and final polish., Both should be easily available at your jewellery tool supplier. If you're using a Dremel, get some little loose cotton (calico) mops if you can find them. and soft cotton wool mops to finish. Alternatively, you can use silicone wheels and 3M radial discs to sand and smooth the metal. My video below might help. Dave kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gp1hgpqZ1tyukWw.html

Is the Menzerna stuff OK for hand polishing? I run my little workshop area on solar, so power limits are always an issue in the UK.. 😅
@CelticDreamsCoUk
@CelticDreamsCoUk 3 жыл бұрын
A solar powered workshop in the UK? well... god loves an optimist. For hand polishing i'd say no. The polish is very hard in solid blocks. With the friction and speed of a bench polisher, the grease melts and the abrasive does it magic. But at room temp, you'd never even get any off the block and onto a rag. If polishing by hand, work up through the emery grits to a couple of thousand grit. And then use rouge on a stick a strip of tough material (old denim or rough leather belt) taped to it. You can also use a polished steel burnisher, or agate burnisher to get a good shine, depending on the item you are polishing. failing that, throw an extension cable over the fence and ask your neighbour to plug in your bench polisher. good luck. Dave ; )

Hey! Hope you having a great day! I really loved how the final polish has turned out to be! I’m new to making silver jewelry and I have a buff machine which works pretty good and I do get a polish which I’m satisfied with but the issue is the cleaning part after the polish! I buff polish after cleaning the jewelry in drum polish (cleaning drum). My ultrasonic doesn’t work well so I have to clean it with hot soapy water but in the end it looks worse. Any tips? Also which luster do you think is the best for silver jewelry? Thank You!

Always keep the piece moving when polishing, especially moving at right angles to the rotation. You may see on my videos when using a bench polisher i move the piece sideways right to left. Imagine a particle of abrasive on the mop, it shouldn't hit the silver in the same place twice. Polish is greasy, and so you need heat (boiling water) to melt it and soap to disperse it. But scrubbing your polish off with a brush will just scratch up your piece. Hence the ultrasonic is the best method. Mine doesn't have heater so I just boil the kettle and fill it up with drop of dish soap. Hope this helps. Dave

The traditional method is Tripoli as a pre polish on a firm cotton stitched mop, The Rogue on a loose Soft cotton mop to finish. This is the way it's been done for centuries. Tripoli and rouge should be readily available at an jewellery suppliers or internet. The menzerna polishes are just a modern ( better ?) version, of these traditional compounds. If you really want the Menzerna, try Auto stores as Menzerna make a lot of car body polishes, so many auto stores stock the range. Failing that order from the UK and pay postage.
