Love the bloopers. Nice to know I'm not the only one making silver blobs.
Your work is so artistic and beautiful. Thank you for being a great teacher and inspiration.
OMG, that was absolutely amazing! Thank you for showing it all.... the good, the bad and the ugly. I enjoyed it all immensely.
Thank you. We all hit bumps in the road; might as well let everyone else know where that bump is so maybe they can try to avoid it.
Actually, showing people what can go wrong is a great teaching tool. What would be great is telling us why you think it went wrong.
I'm so glad to find someone who is down to earth and isn't afraid to show his "bloopers"! Thanks for the tip. I didn't know you could fuse sterling. I've always been told it has to be fine silver.
Just discovered you and mighty glad I did. Thanks for including the "didn't go as planned' at the end. Your out-takes made me laugh but more importantly they help all us beginners hang in there when we do the same. Love your work! More please!
Thanks.
Your work is so gorgeous and unique and nothing like I have ever seen!❤
Thank you! So appreciate you sharing your technique, but even more, I appreciate the "bloopers"...makes me feel SO much better about my "melt downs"!!!
I am so glad to see you are human!!! I always thought you walked on water!!! This was awesome, Robert. I can't wait to see what else you are going to do!!
NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE BUT I'M SO BORED WITH THE SOUTHWESTERN SILVER STUFF...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE INDIVIDUALISM AND ARTISTICNESS OF THIS JEWELRY...I WAS GETTING DEPRESSED LOOKING BUT NOW I'VE FOUND YOU! 💚
Thanks, I will be getting back into my art and will probably make more videos soon.
Thank you so much! I couldnt believe it that it looked so easy when you fused it perfectly in the video! Then laughed sooo hard at the bloopers. Thanks for sharing all that.
😱😱😱Thanks for the share! (*Runs downstairs to her workbench to try this🙃)
Your the best Robert! Love that you showed screw ups!
lol, I know what you mean about making videos; thanks for the outtakes. It makes me feel better with my meagre attempts
FANTASTIC video! Fantastic technique! Fantastic studio! Thank you for going through the trials and tribulations to teach us something this great!
Thank you so much for the outtakes…I hate my failures and often don’t try new things for fear of it. It helps so much seeing a master screw up too😉
Thanks for this helpful video. I haven't tried fusing, now I will. Subscribed 👍
Love that Guano Loco sign.
I can't get over your work. The second one is incredible
Great video and amazing craftsmanship!
Thank you! You are a great artist!!!
You told us over and over and over and over what you do!!!
game changer!!! thank you! I'm subscribed now!
Thanks for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly and keeping it real! You’re such a great resource...generous with your time.
Your work is gorgeous.
Thank you Robert. I am very happy to subscribe. Thank you for sharing!
You gave me hope in myself again 😉
Funny and educational at the same time.
AWESOME! A star is born! "You so good" The bloopers had me laughing out loud!!!! "You crazy" Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next one! Say hi to Jessica....
Love the technic and the final.
To show mistakes is teaching too
What a great video and techhnique! The bloopers are a fun look at the process. Thanks!
Fusing is done without solder? Wow, that's a great technique!
😩The out take where you did a perfect job and forgot to hit record 😂😂😂 (laughing with ya buddy)
Cool. Can't wait to buy a class
Luv the outtakes ❤❤❤
Well Done! The ending is exceptional. Even the masters can mess up, several times, before getting it right.
So much more of an honest expectation seeing that. If I had only seen the perfect cut, I wouldn't have known all the things that could go wrong and would have thought it was only me...and gotten discouraged. I love it, keep doing that!
thank you for showing that you can melt metal too... I thought it was just me not being good enough. I have to keep trying. awesome!
I love the technic.
brilliant, thank you. just the sort of effect I've been striving to create
Thank you. I really need to get to them.
Your work is nice, love that style. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Thanks!
Just found this! Ty! Time for a binge watch!
You did a great job.
Cool.Thanks for the film :)
Thank you, great time saving technique. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for the video , looking forward to many more. Love the ending!
I was thinking, 'he makes it look so easy!' LMAO!!!
Wow that was super cool!!
Thank you Robert. Appreciate your straight forward presentation. Mark
Wow thank you Robert that's a beautiful skill. Never have to worry about melting solder joints😁
So gratifying to see your bloopers!
That's whatcha get!! I love it and you did a great job!!
This was mind blowing. I love your workbench setup.
Beautiful workmanship!
I loved your video. Thanks so much! I hope you will make more. Please! I just subscribed.
Great tip and video! Love the backdrop in the video as well!
I am so happy to have found you here!...I have been a huge fan of your work since you came on the scene years ago...we met in Tuscon via SLK (i am sure you don't remember), and I was so shy and nervous...it's nice to see you on a personal level as i was never able to take a workshop with you this platform seems terrific!...blessings to you and your journey!
I’m not sure if I remember you due to the tenny tiny profile pic of you on TH-cam. I have seen people fuse with traditional Sterling but it looked a bit rougher. However recently I found Nichole Ringold and I think she fuses fantastically with Sterling.
Awesome video, great technique and loved the whole thing! You made my day. And now I want to try fusing more
Your designs blow my mind!
Amazing. Thank you.
Great video, as a newbie this technique was a bit of a revelation! Thank you for sharing
thanks for sharing, Robert! great tip and awesome video!!
I enjoyed.your out takes. It helps us just starting on a new techniques
What made that attempt fail? What flux do you use? Gorgeous work and you are so calm and relaxed. Just a joy to watch you work!❤
That is extremely cool! Nice and clear and easy to hear and understand what you are talking about. Thanks😄
Awesome technique
Great honest video thanks.
Thanks Robert for sharing your skill.And also filming this Video.🤗👍 It Turner out really well. Was bit funny to watch the bits that didnt work out at the end of the video. Its not easy.👐
Would be great to learn direkt from you. Could you tell in which Country you live? When Not a secret.😄
Nice pieces!
Great video, Robert. Il’m looking forward to playing with the tools I ordered!
What a great technique. Superb vid and the outtakes had me rolling. You make the work and filming look so easy.
You are such a good instructor!!!!
I totally agree, Robert is one of the best!
Great video. I loved how you discribed how and why the wire came together. Thanks :) glad to know I am not alone on opps
Thank you! Cool!
Thank you!!💚
That’s a Awesome intro! Very great video too! Mind blown
Thanks for sharing this!! You are right on brother. Really cool!!
You got a cool style! Definitely distinct. Thanks the out takes bro!
Mind blown. Just bought a bunch of Argentium and I'm going to have to flip my brick over to a fresh side and try this.
Just found you! I'm from the UK and found your tutorial very informative. Thank you
I really like your video brother
This is a fantastic method!!
I love your pieces- so gorgeous- great job on the video, too! You are a natural! I'm gonna stay tuned- you lit a fire!
Love the meltdown
Thanks for sharing
Great film
I fuse platinum ! the only way to solder it . Thank you !
"First attempt, failure! Fuck! Fuck, I say!" lol, i love it, man
Ty Mr. Lopez
Hey, Robert! Melodie here using hubby's account. Now that was great! Go ahead and cuss. It'll make it easier if you don't have to worry about that! Great job and thanks for sharing the bloopers so we know you are human! :-)
Just what I've been looking for. No one I know does this
Cool man
Definitely appreciate the video man I thought you had to Flux all silver before it could join ..also love you added your mistakes haha even professionals mess up XD
What is the center sheet you are using in this video? Will silver sheet work with this method or should it be titanium WIRE AND SHEET? Great job and give us more videos!
Thanks for this Robert! Yes camera work can suck! Did a live in one of my groups...failure!
Thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! 🤗 You’ve inspired me! Thank you for sharing. I’m curious, what technique do you use to join the ends? Do you solder or fuse them together? I’ve always wondered how to join the ends of a textured piece without losing the texture from having to file🤔
I've searched Rio Grande for "those suckers", "little suckers" and even just plain "suckers" to no avai.
Take a shot every time he says suckers lol
Great video Robert! I work with sterling, so I'm curious about why the Argentium got brittle to the point where you can just break it up into pieces. Is this something inherent to Argentium?
Love to see the masters also mess up.
Thank you for sharing this! Does this work with .925 sterling, or just Argentium and fine silver?
Do you use fine silver for this technique or sterling?. Great video. Thanks
Your work is gorgeous. Have you considered making sterling silver beer steins? Nothing too fancy but made out of silver that can actually be used on a daily basis? May I have your website ? Thank you
No, never considered anything that large.
