Hergestellt werden fugenlose Partnerringe aus tordiertem und geätztem Gold-Silber-Mokume Gane. Ich wünsche viel Vergnügen beim Zusehen. Bernd Alexander Mansholt
Didn't expect as nice a result!! I also like that you lined the inside with a solid color. And can see you know how to distribute heat very well. I'm not a jeweler just poking at it a little.. I weld, have done bronze castings and much carbon metal work nice work and filming.
Thank you for your nice comment. I'm also trying to use carbon steel to make knives with nice handles. We're moving the workshop right now, but I'll make a video of it afterwards. Best regards
This is incredible. Thank you. I am just learning and I am at. Avery basic level. I understand that it's the twisting that creates the pattern. Does drilling the bar effect the patterns as well? How do we know what we should do for certain patterns to emerge?
Thank you for your interest and the kind words. Yes, the drilling affects the pattern in some way. The best way to see the pattern in the metal is to build a Mokume Gane block out of red and yellow clay. You can practice everything with it and it doesn't cost much.
beautiful rings. how do you figure out the firing temperatures for different metals? do you need different temperatures to fuse silver to 18kt gold compared to 22kt gold? and can you fuse different colours of gold to eachother?
Basically, at 760 degrees Celsius you are usually right between gold alloys. Platinum and gold, as well as palladium and gold alloys can also be combined in this way. Steve Midgett wrote a book about Mokume Gane. There are many recipes and temperatures in there. Many temperatures and times were determined empirically - it was simply tried out. But yes, different colors and different alloys - it's all possible. Some alloys are a little harder to work with than others (especially 750 red gold, which is very hard). In this video I work with pure gold and silver. Very soft and easy to handle. Best regards
Exquisite. Thank you for sharing. I am curious about the stone…I don’t know if I can find it in English so if anyone knows the spelling please post it here? Thank you.
really? 760 C is the right temperature? thats lucky I had just yesterday tried to look this up, now found it semirandomly. thx I'll try it out. any reference for how long to hold it at 760 C? as long as I want or just as long as it needs? few seconds?
At 760 degrees I have perfect results. I usually leave the lamination in the oven for 10 hours, but once I didn't have time and had to take it out of the oven after five hours - the result was just as good 😂😂 I usually try out samples in advance
To be honest, I don't even know where to start. What exactly do you want to do? If it's these rings and the material for them, you need everything that is shown in the video. You can also buy the MokumeGane material ready-made.
what are the tools at timestamps: is that mold custom made, and is the material steel 0:10 the jig 5:50 a mini drill press? 6:00 the mount at 6:45 that a custom made tool pushing down the ring at 10:11
Hi, here some links to the products or similar. www.uhrmacherwerkzeuge.com/Augusta-Ringerweiterungsmaschine www.zujeddeloh.de/produkte/goldschmiedebedarf/schmelzen_und_giessen/giessen/einguss_-_910.html toom.de/p/maschinenschraubstock-micromot-ms-4-34-mm/1250106 Its from Germany but you can see the pictures and maybe order in your country. The mini drill press is custome made, but you can drill it without I hope thats helps ✌
Ich habe 4% Salpetersäure HNO3 bei ca. 3 Volt DC für ca. 10 Minuten verwendet. Ausführlicher habe ich es in dem Silber-Silber Mokume Gane-Video gezeigt th-cam.com/video/FlX3OrFArrk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bMoUHxQIDZX6XGqV Viele Grüße
Hallo Robert, schön, dass du mich erinnerst. Ich habe gerade ein japanisches Kochmesser im Nakiri-Style auf dem Werkstisch. Ich denke, das könnte interessant werden. Dafür brauche ich aber noch ein paar Tage... Liebe Grüße
Thank you. You’ve got a new subscriber. Cheers
Nice to see it made properly
Bravo Alexander thank you!
Gerne mehr davon
Stunning!
Тоже хочу себе сделать кольцо в таком стиле. Отлично получилось.

Wow ❤

Have you considered polishing it at the end. It would shine so beautiful 🤩🤩
This is a good way to change the look even more. I also suggested this to my customers, but they chose this option because the contrast is greater
Yes you are right the contrast between the gold and the silver is greater. It is beautiful anyway, great job 👍
Thanks and greetings from Croatia
How can you make it look like the metal has melted away?
With eching, from 15:25 you can see it 😉

Could you make a list of the tools you used? Interested in a lot of what you used.
To be honest, I don't even know where to start. What exactly do you want to do? If it's these rings and the material for them, you need everything that is shown in the video. You can also buy the MokumeGane material ready-made.
what are the tools at timestamps:
is that mold custom made, and is the material steel 0:10
the jig 5:50
a mini drill press? 6:00
the mount at 6:45
that a custom made tool pushing down the ring at 10:11
Sorry for the long list, I'm still beginning my journey on making jewelry, and some of the tools you showed looked be very useful.

@@B.A.Mansholt thanks so much for the response with the tools. Appreciate it a lot.
Coole sache, aber wie hast du mit Strom die Strucktur geätzt bekommen? Das verstehe ich nicht. Normal muss das doch mit Säure geätzt werden?

Hallo Bernd ich warte sehnsüchtig Gruß Robert

Dieses mal ganz "silent" ohne Musik und Audiokommentaren ... 👍
Den einen Song, ganz am Ende ... den konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen 😀
Hallo Bernd deine angenehme Stimme fehlt Gruß Robert
Stimmt, ich war sprachlos. Beim nächsten Mal wieder. Viele Grüße
