Wonderful video! Great work and thanks!!! I need more practice using that chart. I don't get it. Also, is there a way to find thin steel because like silver it'll be easier to bend... I can't afford silver or sterling silver all the time. TIA!

Search online for flat ring blanks. I haven't used anything other than silverware, but this might be a starting point.

I’m having the same issue new fuel pump installed but the crank is not engaging the lever to pump fuel in. When I pump by hand it pulls fuel with ease. Update: I guess there is a push rod that falls out of place when removing old pump.

maybe use two screens at same time in your circle sifter to get it finer.

What happens if you forgo rubbing it with fine dirt to make the shell? I've seen some videos that don't do it and it seems to come out fine.
@countryroadcustomdesign9 күн бұрын
I don't think it's 100% necessary. There isn't a hard rule to follow, from what I can tell. I think the process of adding layers helps give a more round shape.

My first one looks like your textured one, shiny but rough. My friend said it looks like an old skee ball lol How do you get them so marble smooth? Just keep damp and adding more fine layers?
@countryroadcustomdesign13 күн бұрын
The fine dirt helps build up an outer shell. I added maybe 6 layers. After that, I waited for it to dry slightly until it started to feel firm. I started polishing it with a smooth jar (around 17 minutes in the video).

Is it fragile?
@countryroadcustomdesign20 күн бұрын
Not overly fragile. They can be handled without much worry. One fell on the floor from about 4 feet, and only a small piece broke off. Very tough considering it's just polished dirt.

This is so cool! Question- How long did you let the copper "marinate?"
@countryroadcustomdesign2 ай бұрын
I did this so long ago I don't really remember. Typically I check things the next day.
@JohnT-wj5ru2 ай бұрын
Colour the spoon blank with a black sharpie pen before annealing ,then wave the flame over spoon till the ink evapirates ,then you stop the annealing process ,and then proceed to hammer into shape

The way you are dealing with the clamps and probes is like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun with a hair trigger. The table you inserted at 3:33 was very good. That said, I think these are externally measured currents, and the amount of internal penetration is related to the applied voltage. Apparently "medium" voltages (2000 volts), are the sweet spot which do the most damage, because they can deliver the currents in the table deep into tissue. Probably why that voltage works so well for woodburning? And the additional power (amps X volts) of course. The current that actually can stop the heart is very low, milliamps. My guess is the table accounts for current spreading out through the body, so it is higher. Unfortunately, with one clamp in the right hand and one in the left, you provide an electron superhighway through your arms and to the chest. Let's not ignore that fraction of the overall current which is spread through the body and making it's way around the heart. It is burning your internal organs like a piece of lichtenburg art.

This was a lot of work and very well demonstrated. I am deeply grateful. You did a fine job with that visual cross reference chart! I wonder if sanding first, would make the verdigris stick better without flaking off. Coating on top of flaking will not prevent it flaking off. You have to secure the patina somehow. If you are sick, it is not by chance. Eat right, sleep early and enough, exercise, and take Zinc 50 mg every night. You will never get sick again. Stay away from sugar, sugary things, fruit juice, white refined carbs. Go more Keto.

for best results use a Viniger %5 aced or higher brush on the copper put Epson salt on that then put the piece in an ammonia-rich atmosphere. This has consistently given me blue to dark blue and sometimes purple results.
@egadgawegdfwea6 ай бұрын
For darker blue did you let the copper sit in the ammonia for longer? If so how much longer

it depends on how hot or cold it is at the time but generally a hour or so above the initial developing time the longer you wait the darker it can become@@egadgawegdfwea

Love the rings ! I make a sprial ring that I sell lots of. I anneal it but only on the back and make sure to do the whole spoon at once, so there isnt any damage spots. Love the hearts and especially the key rings ! Those are really neat !
@gravesucheoma241610 ай бұрын
This is a cool idea. I was thinking of a cheap way to find containers for candle making and I think this could work. One thing that you might want to give a try is dumping the cup upside down so when the glass rapidly cools it will be more likely that the crack will occur at the top and stop at the point where it is scored, which won't matter.
