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

@karie9890 Год назад

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.

@risaalbertson1079 Год назад

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

@RobertLopezDesigns 7 месяцев назад

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.

@donnaer 2 года назад

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.

@dpeterson4222 4 года назад

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!

Thank you so much for the outtakes…I hate my failures and often don’t try new things for fear of it. It helps so much seeing a master screw up too😉

@mandymcclure717 Год назад

You gave me hope in myself again 😉

@kevinkenny8739 2 года назад

Great honest video thanks.

@rekekongen1 Год назад

Cool.Thanks for the film :)

@kathleenhie8740 4 года назад

Well Done! The ending is exceptional. Even the masters can mess up, several times, before getting it right.

@hipchickvintagethrifts 2 года назад

So much more of an honest expectation seeing that. If I had only seen the perfect cut, I wouldn't have known all the things that could go wrong and would have thought it was only me...and gotten discouraged. I love it, keep doing that!

@andreak001 2 года назад

This is a fantastic method!! I love your pieces- so gorgeous- great job on the video, too! You are a natural! I'm gonna stay tuned- you lit a fire!

@shirleyrichards2514 2 года назад

Mind blown. Just bought a bunch of Argentium and I'm going to have to flip my brick over to a fresh side and try this.

@garyeyster5836 4 года назад

Hey, Robert! Melodie here using hubby's account. Now that was great! Go ahead and cuss. It'll make it easier if you don't have to worry about that! Great job and thanks for sharing the bloopers so we know you are human! :-)

@ginted7301 3 года назад

I've searched Rio Grande for "those suckers", "little suckers" and even just plain "suckers" to no avai.

@krautgirl65 8 месяцев назад

I am so happy to have found you here!...I have been a huge fan of your work since you came on the scene years ago...we met in Tuscon via SLK (i am sure you don't remember), and I was so shy and nervous...it's nice to see you on a personal level as i was never able to take a workshop with you this platform seems terrific!...blessings to you and your journey!

@RobertLopezDesigns 8 месяцев назад

I’m not sure if I remember you due to the tenny tiny profile pic of you on RU-vid. 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.

@MarkTrujilloDesignsandMedia 2 года назад

Just what I've been looking for. No one I know does this

@jolantastanko1233 2 года назад

Thanks Robert for sharing your skill.And also filming this Video.🤗👍 It Turner out really well. Was bit funny to watch the bits that didnt work out at the end of the video. Its not easy.👐 Would be great to learn direkt from you. Could you tell in which Country you live? When Not a secret.😄

@joshbillings4037 2 года назад

Definitely appreciate the video man I thought you had to Flux all silver before it could join ..also love you added your mistakes haha even professionals mess up XD

@dislubik4770 3 года назад

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🤔

@jimbettridge3123 3 года назад

Thanks for this Robert! Yes camera work can suck! Did a live in one of my groups...failure!

@lenastiward8657 11 месяцев назад

What made that attempt fail? What flux do you use? Gorgeous work and you are so calm and relaxed. Just a joy to watch you work!❤

@kathleenjames8173 4 года назад

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?

@olegpetelevitch4443 Год назад

I fuse platinum ! the only way to solder it . Thank you !

@cindyturner7240 3 года назад

Do you use fine silver for this technique or sterling?. Great video. Thanks

@MariannaOlsen 3 года назад

Love to see the masters also mess up.

@kimpetri6750 2 года назад

Can you tell me if I can use a Big Shot Blazer GT 8000 torch to achieve the same results with this method? Thank you, P.S. I love your videos & your beautiful jewelry! 💖

@billdlyaegra9394 Год назад

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.
