Beautiful work! Serious craftmanship involved! What are these sort of clips you use to hold pieces while soldering (22:25)? Did you make them or are they availableo n the market? If so, can you tell me where? Thank you for sharing your mastery of metalworking, sir!
@@Dwayanu17 thank you. The clips were made from split pins aka cotter pins. You can get boxes of assorted sizes from Amazon they are useful for different sized work stainless steel are best. You can also use titanium solder clips available from places such as Cooksongold. These are flat strips that can be bent to shape, they can also be cut with a piercing saw. The benefit of titanium is that solder does not stick to it but they are more expensive and I'm cheap 😉
Thank you. The tool I use is the super easy graver to push up a stitch which the wire rests on when it's soldered. A stitch is a bit like the burrs that jewellery setters push up and then they round over the top to form a grain. The stitches are a bit larger. You don't need to use a powered tool you can use a spitstick (onglet) or a standard 90⁰ push engraving tool.
can you demo this a bit clearer? its the only step i dont understand here. i love your approach to keeping the knuckles even. another metal worker suggests bundles of mechanical pencil lead@@alastairduncan4702
