liz your jewellery is SO BEAUTIFUL and i'm so happy for you that this rolling mill is changing the game! i know you don't metalsmith as much on your channel so it's fun going through your earlier videos and watching you do another.craft that brings you so much joy
Liz, your videos are so real and fun to watch. Having a rolling mill is a game changer. I got one a few years ago and three months later wrote a tutorial on how to use a rolling mill. Since then, I’ve learned so much more. Let me know if you want that tutorial. Your bezel is so smooth. Is bezel construction something you would consider making into a TH-cam video? Thank you for yet another awesome video!!
Hi Liz From Michigan! Im Michelle, love to make jewelry also, I haven't been making jewelry lately but plan to get back to it every day. I would love to see videos on ring making tutorials like you said if anyone would like yes! Please . I've only been at this for a couple years but I love it...whats an ignot huh? A lot to learn, but love:) Appreciate you, keep going, as i will too! Thanks, Michelle
Hey Michelle! I totally will make a video detailing how to make a ring! I’m glad to hear you’re trying your hand at smithing and are enjoying it. It’s so much fun! 🥰 I appreciate you following along. 💖💖💖
Realized today I hadn't watched this video (darn notification on my phone disappeared when it posted).The rolling mill seems like such a great tool that'll be helpful to use with your scrap. Well done to Zach for such a great gift. The scrap ring came out pretty!
Aww I always love to see comments from you and appreciate you watching! 🥰 The mill is so great! I can’t wait to continue exploring all of it’s possibilities! 😍💖
Congrats on the present how awesome. Always anneal the metal before you put it through the rolling mill so it will go through easier. Let me know if you need any help. You will love it I make ingots and roll out to 18 ga sterling silver out of my scraps it saves you so much
I am a little confused because someone else commented saying I have to pickle and throughly clean before rolling, so should I anneal and repickle multiple times while rolling out a piece? I need to do some research, I was just goin’ for it in this video without knowing what I was doing at all. 😂 I appreciate your help!! He did also get me an ingot thing, I just don’t have a hot enough torch to melt metal in a crucible right now. That’s on the list for sure!! 📝
Kay, I had to pause the video for a sec and ask you before my adhd brain made me forget... where the heck can I find a big ass bag of scrap silver like that?! Is it affordable?? I need! I have brand new silver bit I'm scared up break into it (I've been using copper). I think if I could start on scrap it might take away thr anxiety of screwing up... maybe. 😅
Most of the scrap I have is just from past projects, pieces I’ve messed up or taken apart or just little cut offs from bezels or whatever. I have found scrap broken silver jewelry on eBay in the past! I just looked and I’m not seeing any right now but I also didn’t dig super deep. You may have luck there!
Liz you need to pickle the silver nugget before you put it in your rolling mill…. Where did Zack buy your rolling mill from??? Love this video ❤❤❤❤ 🤗, Michelle
@@Lizfoolery after you pickle make sure you have a baking soda and water mixture, it neutralizes the pickle. Then rinse it in water. Then make sure you scrub that nugget with some Don soap and a toothbrush underwater. Make sure all the pickle is off before you put it through your rolling mill. The acid from the pickle can ruin your equipment… I just wanted you to know that… cool I think I know which one he bought…
After pickling and neutralizing make sure your metal is dry before putting it into the rolling mill otherwise yournice new present is going to rust hell and when that happens there is no way back. @@Lizfoolery
@@LizfooleryHave a blast. Rollers are fun and really really useful. I've seen professionals having to start from scratch because they don't take their time to anneal enough. Can you tell that I'm a big advocate of annealing?
@@64t120r I’m a little confused because a couple people have said to anneal often but I also got a comment saying to pickle and clean your metal completely before rolling…so am I supposed to anneal, pickle, clean several times rolling our one piece? Or just anneal and roll without pickling in between? I will def have to watch some videos, haha. I certainly want my mill to last. 😇
@@Lizfoolery I've seen different combinations of procedures. Speaking strictly for myself, pickling is a judgement call. If I see any oxidation, scaling, or anything on the material after annealing and quenching in clean water I will pickle it. Again, that's just me. From the interest you showed, I'm sure your rolling mill will be fine for many many years to come.
That ring is gorgeous… my rolling mill was stolen Christmas 2022. It sucks… So I’m needing to buy a cheaper one.. I’m not saying your is cheap but it really works great.. So plz ask Zach where he bought it… Cause I need one asap. Loved the video Hugs, Michelle
Oh my goodness, stolen?! That’s awful! He did say that this one wasn’t super expensive! Perfect for me as a novice, haha. I appreciate all the tips about cleaning the silver! I had no idea…I should have done some research. 😅😅 I’ll ask him more details and let you know! 💖💖

@@ceciliacrijnen9254 I have been doing this! 🥰
Anneal your materials often. Watch tutorial videos. They'll keep you from potentially damaging your rollers.
I like living on the edge. 😝 But you’re right, I will research. Just trying out my new toy.
