Great clear concise video! What is the bath you dipped the ring into right after oxidizing it? Is it a baking soda solution to stop the oxidizing from further colorization?
Can I ask what the oil was that you used after sanding the patina? And, thank you so much for sharing your talent with the less experienced smiths... like me... Very helpful!
High I like your videos it is very clear ! I have a question how do you call the wood tool you use when you do the polish ? You don’t take the ring in your hand it is like a wood clamp. It’s so hot for me, so burning !!! I would like one .how do you call this ? Where can I find this ? Many thanks 🙏
Amazing video, first of yours I’ve seen and you’ve got a new subscriber! I’ve had some issues with my barrel polisher, polishing out my hammering detail! Have you got any advice for this?
Can I borrow your tools? For just one day. Please. Seriously though excellent work and well done video. I came across it because I am making a ring from scrap for my father for Christmas. I will just be using a soft charcoal block with a cut out to melt the scrap and hammers to help further shape the shank before soldering because i lack most of your tools. I do have a little smith torch, mandrels, foredom and all of the hammers, bits, and hand tools I need but I'm just a hobbyist and your tools make me envious! I do think there is something about doing it the way I am that will make it a meaningful gift though. Great work!
well done for your video, great job! could you tell me what type of torch you use? you use the same to make your ingots, anneal the metal and your welds? Thanks in advance for your reply.
