In this video, I take you through all the silversmithing processes of raising a bell from sheet metal and as a little bonus, how to make a domed ring. Trust me, the result has a nice ring to it.
Happy new year Oliver !!!! Pleased with the new video! Holiday homework! good health to you and your loved ones! good luck in the new year 2022! Your subscribers are waiting for new videos
Fascinating, as always. I love your work and have also been trying to raise a copper cup - Hahaha - I am stuck at the bowl. I cannot get my head around the act of hammering being used to crunch the metal in on itself and not appear to stretch the metal which is usually what happens. I am now re inspired because I would love to make this beautiful bell. Thank you so much for sharing, I do hope you and your lovely family have managed to keep safe and well
Thanks, Viv. Yes, it is a fascinating process. Just keep at it and make that metal yield to your mind/hammer. Thank you, we are all good. Happy new year. :-)
Thank you. 😊 It's a bit difficult to see, but I cut the wire in half and bend them to each side. I'm probably going to revisit that, cut a thread in the wire and put a small nut in the end. Thanks for watching.
