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
Greetings to all
