Very informative video! I'm taking a jewelry-making class soon and I'm excited to try my own attempt at a cuff bracelet. I took a look at your website too and your engravings are super cool, I particularly like the bird-themed rings!
Great little bracelet sir, but as 47 years of making jewelry would’ve likely taught you, annealing in between processes would make your life oh so easy. Heck, you’d avoid the step of bringing your peen hammer back to remove stretch marks, because you wouldn’t have stretch marks to begin with if the metal were annealed prior to forming on the mandrel.
Thanks for producing this video. The production quality is phenomenal. I appreciate your insights on tool maintenence and forging techniques. I'm just getting started on my jewelry journey and have really enjoyed working with my hammers.
