How To Say Congrats On Winning

Goldwork: Goldwork

Unable to find a more clever title I wear to make this post now

The fact that it is past midnight and you have a review of some 500 pages of horrifically boring books on American history from the eighteenth century, of which I have not read anything, this Wednesday and it is a sector in which neither me is doing pretty well .... xDD just details

Now, ladies and Gunsmiths, Artisans, Warriors, Squires, Pages, Monks, Lepers, Peasants, Prostitutes, Nobles, Beggars and Everything Else (xDD had to do it), as promised, I will begin with tutorials goldsmith I announced some time ago.

This method, the draft, is the most common method among the goldsmiths craft, being of the most simple and require fewer tools and expertise, but is far more versatile than it might seem at first instance . The technique involves drilling holes in a plate (I can be silver, gold, copper, bronze, nickel or whatever actually (while not extremely hard) and from these cut pieces with a saw, all the tools are mentioned in the previous entry so now I can go straight to the point

Stage by stage the matter goes something like this.

1: Design.
for this tutorial I will do something that meets most of processes, a ring, with the Scandinavian Futhark runes of 16 runes (use this because it was the only one who fit in so far xD)

first of all, to make a ring must be taken into account the extent of the finger, in all goldsmith shops sell games for all the finger measurements possible, the numbers usually come in sizes from 5 to 30 approximately. Obtner To the extent that must have stretched piece of material for a ring one takes the number of size, adds 41 (is a constant .... do not ask me that means) and then we add twice the thickness of the sheet to use (all in millimeters).
This particular ring is size 22, so the final bill will be 65 mm in silver foil.

drawing the design on paper, then cut and stick (glue stick enough) to the lamina

2: Marking
This step is rather simple, take a punch and anvil on the mini ( or base metal) hitting in areas that will then be removed to allow more easily drilled after.
think I go around with the big hits but spaces that is not very important.

3: Drill
mark once everything takes a bit (preferably between 0.5 and 1) and drilling. I use a dremel, if you can do with something else, serves.
4: Calar
this is the most significant part of the process, is taken and passed close by each of the holes to cut the shapes out. many holes in things like this ring is a long and horrible, but there are many simple things you can do, with very good results.
5: intermediate term

Something incoherent step name ... but hey, when this all cut tend to have irregularities For this one takes the files and streamlines ... just need some patience.
6: Welding I
welding is one of the highlights of the work, for this last one starts giving a flux to the workpiece (the flux is what you see atraz). The flux is a paste based on Borax and water lowers the melting temperature of the parties to maintain clean contact sections. y. .. xD that

Welding II in this part leave affirming the two silver pieces to be welded by means of these clamps and heating the piece one hand and the other holding the weld (in wire) I started to weld.

The easiest way to do is to cut small pieces of welding wire (not over 1 mm long) and deposited with tweezers in the various holes and parts of the 2 pieces in contact, followed that heats the part and usually just start taking a red a little shiny solder melts and runs through all contact sites were hit by the flux. I usually soldier
otherwise, the faster but quickly more difficult (very little actually), heat the piece is hot enough when I passed giving to the wire in the right places, hence the solder melts and runs automatically. (Welding is run by the metal, so it is not hard to realize where and where not)
7: most completions

Here with the same saw to cut all the surplus and the lime gives a decent finish again

7.2 is something like
8: round

pliers (or hands) a piece and it doubles match ends ... this has to be as perfect as possible
9 and 10 Weld and acid

here one does the same as in previous steps, apply flux with a brush, apply solder and heat until it is all welded, eye with not very hot and will not run welding other parts of the ring, can lead to annoying imperfections in the end.

on

acid in a nutshell: While the piece is still hot after welding be thrown a bottle of sulfuric acid (diluted a bit, for security reasons) and left there a couple of minutes.

what this does is remove excess flux, which remains after welding glazed piece.
11: round II

triboulette here is used, a cone bin stretching can be wood or metal, I use metal, they are more comfortable, but more expensive wooden ones are almost given away, but with time spent.

took the ring, I put it in the triboulette and the wooden hammer (or rubber) give shots until the shape
12: Aging

to give the finishing touch to the ring are often used chemicals, such as this ANTIQUING silver (it will also seen at the entrance of tools)

for this I take a syringe and pulled her ANTIQUING of the bottle. The idea of \u200b\u200bdoing so esw you breathe as little as possible this thing ... first of all, has a horrible smell of putrefaction xD, plus is very volatile and slightly toxic, so it is best done outdoors.

for the liquid run the piece has to be hot, which the liquid to evaporate when you touch the metal, so they are given a few passes with the torch and start dropping drops of liquid
the result is something like this, a ring that seems lifted from a recent archaeological excavation in a swamp or something. but it is polished and perfect whole
13: Polish

here can be used from polished engine, like me xD, with Dremel parts (as I did before) or by hand ... xDD little thing I recommend going through all the papers were and for having sandpaper, et caeterus.

y. .. I use here again because triboulette obvious reasons of convenience, no stains me and I burned with hot metal, that thing better xD
and good with this just after polishing all have something like this
and it is ready for the client (well, actually lack polish inside, felt cones sold to put in the polishing and polishing motor inside rings but I use the dremel nomas) ----------------------------------------

-------



and that this particular ring me a friend request for a friend of mine who had birthday and also is her boyfriend, copper tube about 20 dollars and a wide margin xD ( that decency will not mention here xD)

and the truth is that although the entry is longer, with more steps and more photos I've uploaded so far ... is not very difficult to do, Many tools are needed, yes, but you can start with very few and lso results are not very different ... there are things that not even require soldering and I think this could be done even in cooking ovens (with a little under control, nothing else)

can still be a little too specialized for the public who frequent these parts generalmetne but good knowledge and are here just to use them and have to have to start now xDD



that end?

a small count of damage to continue plagiarizing my colleagues of medievalism xDD

1: burn ... hold hot metal is a BAD idea, passed the torch by the arms .... also, for we have long hair .... fijense not pass in front of the flame ... smells very bad xD

2: cut .... Beware of finger stall happened to me xD ... (so now generally use the pliers to grip the sheet xDD, I cut with the same sheet as well, just in case ... and this time I spend a very bizarre. .. I cut the triboulette (and it is round ... but hey xD

March: several things related to acid ... turn the pot with acid, definitely a bad idea xD mainly about things, truth sulfuric acid is diluted to the extent necessary for the goldsmith does not do much damage, enough to run wet, although prolonged contact and irritate the skin as if you burned hubeiras. The acid nitric on the other hand is something different, first of all, it burns much more and much faster than the sulfuric, although up to 10 seconds can not spend anything (diluted, of course) ... that is, nothing hurts, because even though you are in contact with him for a couple of seconds nothing but the surface of the skin is white putting up with the passing of the hours passed to a shade of blue: S, of the blue goes to purple and then passing the hours that come to a purple blackish brown in which your skin is dry and flake in a couple of days

that does not hurt really, but it is quite picturesque xD.

what else? good things, it goes without saying that in the same place you use for cutting sheet metal is very bad walking barefoot .... the sharp metal fragments are not very friendly feet.


believe that there is any hope
entry has been a fruitful and can live their lives in a more integrated after reading it without further ado


Greetings and I say goodbye Goodbye

Ns Pro Shaft Sticker Peel

Draft: Tools

Greetings to all entities that pass through here this time I

I have never been seen before (well, not quite as neck before, but if a little bit more xD) on the Internet.

with this will start a couple of tutorials or at least attempts goldsmith de xDD is never bad to know these things to adorn whatever, helmets, swords, sheaths ... etc (either bronze, silver or gold that has nothing better as spending obscene amounts of money)

today, more than anything I dedicate to list the tools you need, from the ground up so that at least allowed to be completely autosificiente in the workshop (which would put it more or less what I have and I normally use, and beyond this there is nothing else that is essential for work)

To begin, I needed to prepare the material, silver and other materials can be purchased in sheets , wires, pellets, granules, rods, tubes (round and square), strips, etc, etc, etc, but it is always more comfortable to prepare the material itself (in addition to all the money so you do not spend the re-melted and ready )

1: welding torch (this is like casting the picture, but anyway) a small nozzle for a gas flame, perfect flame for soldering small pieces (20 to 30 euros)

2: Torch to melt, another tip, larger than silver and gold melt perfectly (although with bronze makes problems) do not have much more science (20 to 30 euros)

3: Porta crucible; emm ... So, to handle the crucible, as is obvious how it works xD (3 to 4 euros)

4: Pot: I will not go more into this xD (1 to 2 euros)

5: Silver: as it is also evident ( that as at 14 dollars per ounce on the London Metal Exchange, but not as xD fuck is that I bought like half a euro a gram)

6: Chaponera: for pouring molten silver and make prints (turns to cylinders, what were to become wire eluego) (is good rub a piece of Before melting wax material, comes more easily) (25 to 30 euros)

7: Polishing: this is rather to complete, but as he had there in the cellar along with everything else take the picture together xD (between 800 and 160 euros)


Here are two things I missed, that even I can not get because they are very expensive (so qu eme am forced to buy the silver plates and wires when I need ... I reiterate that it is very uncomfortable .) These two things I miss are first of all: The Laminator (between 200 and 1300 euros)


As its name implies is used to make silver foil, with a handle (or sometimes motor, as in the photo) a spinning steel rolls and crushes straight from the silver until it's thick chaponera necessary.

turn the mill used to make half-round wire (as a semicircular profile, very suitable for rings and such) and to square wire (from silver cylinder leaving the chaponera)



The next thing I was lacking photo Row (between 8 and 30 euros), a metal plate with oyitos to wire (making a square wire, leaving the laminator, sharpens it and take it with pliers to move it to the row
travez (also called wire drawing. It was interesting that when looking for pictures of the drawing machine appeared to me several photos of Axil: S, but none of the drawing machine if equal cost me find this xD).


and good, passed all the preliminary work will have the tools that are used for the work of the parts itself. would be more or less as follows


1: The anvil (7 to 14 euros); must for every good blacksmith, also for the good silversmith .... but these in particular are almost a mockery of the original xD anyway, are very good at marking, hitting things small, paperweights and doorstops. (A lack of anvil, as the good blacksmith, goldsmith can use a good piece of metal any suitable material xD)

2: Burin (10 euros approx), not very clear as I have told in other countries, but Well, I use it to make incisions in parts

3: tweezers (3-4 euro) to hold parts together while heating or soldering

4: punch (no idea xD), (it was a punch that tip kick him xD) to mark the silver before drilling.

5: run-welding (small price) to manipulate the weld while it settles, it can be done with a beam of bike or something stainless steel, most already have some experience with the issue of toxic gases to understand why NOT to galvanizing xD.

6: Tube foot (about 5 euros), not more than that


7 to 8: (7 euros) more used pliers, a small flat in a small flat tip and normal

9: acid clamps (5 euros approx) (I think the name is more than obvious xD)


10: Triboulette (timber: 1 euro, 15 euro metal); gadget round wooden rings (there are also metal, but are considerably expensive (and most comfortable All in, I have one and love it xD))

11 to 12 hammers, wood (1.5 euro) and metal (3 euros) (the latter not very big, not to crush the pieces, more than anything is just to make the punch)

13: (10 euros) limes and more limes

14: Sierra (10 euros), a saw frame with jigsaws normal average of 0.2mm in thickness, are the most important tools and are absolutely essential, saws break to look at them (in my first class broke about 5) but they come in dozens of little more than a euro xD

15: wooden base out in "V" (desconicido price) is another of the most important pieces, one silver Apolla against it and passes the saw for the cuts, that's obscene work without uncomfortable x_x.

16: (no idea the price), A Good Dremel (not like mine which is horrendously old and bad ... fortunately still works) with this which used more bits are 0.5 and 1 mm

17: Joan of Arc (?) xDD

18: Excalibur, Il Re d'inverno (? xDDD)


after all this are the various types of acids and chemicals divertilocos to do things xD. Would advise them to be more careful with me, because several times I've turned the sulfuric acid on the desktop, or my backpack or stuff like that xD

ANTIQUING of silver, silver age, Duh 'xD Sulfuric acid, silver stripping and removing flux, nitric acid stripping gold and silver record, lacquer thinner to record and muriatic acid to remove rust.

and I think that is pretty much all that remains is
welding if you are buying custa wire and more or less the same as silver, and soldering flux, usually used borax mixed with water .

gives me the impression that the entrance is somewhat disorganized, sorry for that xD
also the prices are way too tentative and surely miscalculated, they were just to get an idea, probably in the respective paicas everything must be very different.


the following entry if it will be the process of truth, to see if they can salvage something from what I can "teach" and that

xDD

Oil Pulling And Candida

Raising a

Salve all!

in this post illustrate some of the process by which the front shield umbo was created

is not so much a tutorial, as there are many photos, nor are as epic moments of hammering metal to red ... but is more or less as it was progressing the matter.


well, starting this work required of 2 essential tools, a stick, ball and hammer flat-blade rounded (formerly would have required about three types of cuttings and a much bigger hammer, plus a heat source over pig torch intense than we use, but we did not xD)

Work began putting the stake on the anvil, by heating with the torch until it could be some red (the idea would strike when the orange glow almost white ... but anyway xD). G said the torch and the metal and hit me, or sometimes we traded jobs. The point is that the first thing we were closer to a geographical than a piece of shield.

see that looks like a mountain? xD
at this point we were somewhat discouraged, so much work for just that ... (We had a good time to do that, maybe a couple of hours). and there denuevo started from the tip hitting much on the edge of the stake, there began to be little change, and again after a fairly long time was something like this:



beginning to be felt the way it should have, although much still remains, and the more we advance the metal becomes more and more hard work, it wrinkles terribly and need to straighten it with care muuucho risk of losing the entire piece.

we continue working in and moving more
must note one thing, as this will only work at the stake for a small problem arose ball and the ball was, by hammering the metal segment tracking to lift (Raise) also stood up and anterior segment
and that curve toward the umbo be made unless pronounced.


After this I have more pictures of the intermediate process and all the plaster that had to do (because by God that require flat Raising the pieces after the flat well we did on the peg ball, the other party (and polished) of the hammer.

the point is that after all, matching the edges with the anvil and everything else, was something like:

there just need to cut the leftovers, puncture and put on the coat
was all over xD. (there is very noticeable loss of depth would be needed to prevent that from working on a stake in "T") and



believe that the moral of this story is that if you want to do raising, the better you get an oxyacetylene torch or a furnace, for if not ....

that's all for now
almost goes without saying that all the example of the raising was done with the videos of Erik Dube, would not be of more youtube: P

Umbo Shield! Notions of law

well well, had a good time to upload something decent, and I have not an accumulation of things so great as to make counts and little things I'll be uploading tutorials and slowly
Daarle
for some life into this forgotten place xD

this time a shield, I just finished a while ago is a shield
round, done in conjunction with a friend: G (JGMJVA elsewhere)

here first thing we did was that umbo
one thing but worked on all my metal work xDD
were Muuuuuuuchas hours
Raising red on a single stake of small ball, but the result was remarkable, and experience in raising, invaluable.

following was cut with the jig all the way wood, and the hole in the middle which is covered by the boss, sigueintes to that was all covered in fabric (as opposed to what logic would dictate, just a cape Glued)

followed this we formed a handle with a cane pole and some leather and joined by screws the body of the coat (yes. .. I know, should have been riveting u_u, that lack of orthodoxy)

means the whole idea in this photo here
ed

the next step was to paint, for which Aegishjalmur chose the design of a medieval Icelandic magical symbol, Viking presumably meaning "helmet of respect" and was done to instill fear and awe in the enemy .... pretty epic and symbolic in a coat colors xD

left me a little "Imperial Germany" but ... that he will do, as is a stylish combination.

then had to drive home the umbo .... and well, so typical, metal dial, drilling, marking the wood, drilling, cutting nails, metal washers to fix the nail not transferred, put, riveted and Voilà, umbo

firm position and I had to finally put a leather band .... is very interesting what is central to stretch the leather, that anger at the edges ... for the rest unstretched instantly adapts to the shape of the shield xD .... very, very convenient, there are a few tacks thing and everything is ready.



the truth that was it
expeditiously and fairly modest entrance, but it's something xD
to see if people still going around here that



Greetings!
