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
Greetings to all

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

Chest Pain And Right Arm Numbness

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 VoilĂ , 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!
