Love the bloopers. Nice to know I'm not the only one making silver blobs.

OMG, that was absolutely amazing! Thank you for showing it all.... the good, the bad and the ugly. I enjoyed it all immensely.

Thank you. We all hit bumps in the road; might as well let everyone else know where that bump is so maybe they can try to avoid it.

Actually, showing people what can go wrong is a great teaching tool. What would be great is telling us why you think it went wrong.

I'm so glad to find someone who is down to earth and isn't afraid to show his "bloopers"! Thanks for the tip. I didn't know you could fuse sterling. I've always been told it has to be fine silver.

Just discovered you and mighty glad I did. Thanks for including the "didn't go as planned' at the end. Your out-takes made me laugh but more importantly they help all us beginners hang in there when we do the same. Love your work! More please!

I’m not sure if I remember you due to the tenny tiny profile pic of you on KZfaq. I have seen people fuse with traditional Sterling but it looked a bit rougher. However recently I found Nichole Ringold and I think she fuses fantastically with Sterling.

Thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! 🤗 You’ve inspired me! Thank you for sharing. I’m curious, what technique do you use to join the ends? Do you solder or fuse them together? I’ve always wondered how to join the ends of a textured piece without losing the texture from having to file🤔

Great video Robert! I work with sterling, so I'm curious about why the Argentium got brittle to the point where you can just break it up into pieces. Is this something inherent to Argentium?

@billdlyaegra9394 Жыл бұрын

okay Robert, you got me, i subscribed. are you using argenteum sterling in this video and in general with your technique? will it work with fine silver as well? i get so much firescale with regular sterling and with all the heat you are using id bet you must as well. perhaps i need to skip the sterling silver.
