    You are awesome to share your knowledge and skills, so a very sincere thank you. I would love to see a pendant made with the shell you used for the ring. I love your videos and the fact you explain everything in detail is the best. I’m a hobby person but really enjoy your videos.

    Thanks for this bro! I have been thinking of making myself some mokume for a while now and I just got my rolling mill in the mail last week. I know exactly what to use this for! I’m working on a big project right now that I can’t reveal yet that has taken me a while to perfect I guess you could say, and once I’m done with it I’m going to make another out of mokume gane wire and I think it is going to be bad ass. So once I saw that you had done this I was really excited to see how you made your wire. Good job man! 👍 It looks awesome!

    That was cool! I didn't notice if you soldered the subsequent twists. Does the rolling mill bind the metal together?

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I flux the wire after I twist it again so the solder that is already on it will flow again and fuse it all together so you only need to add solder to it that one time.

    Thanks for the video! I appreciate videos that are concise, easy to follow, and aren’t too ‘wordy’. I’m assuming you solder again after bending it in half and wrapping each time?

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you and you only have to solder it once. Every time you heat it make sure to use flux so the solder can flow again.

  • @pr0faker

    Its looks nice but as far as mokume gane goes, isn't that supposed to be welded together, not soldered? The end result looks about the same but the welded version is probably way stronger?

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are right that it is normally welded together. The welded version might be stronger but in this case I don't think this will matter much. 😀

    I am now officially a Pepe Girl. I'm expecting my new rolling mil today. It even said it's out for delivery. This is going to be my first project since I am mainly a wire artist. This is amazing. I have a question though; is it more or less the same steps to make sheet out of this technique or do i have to do something different?

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Congrats and I hope you like the mill. So you can make sheets do using this but it's going to be small. If you are going to make a bigger sheet your going to need to stack sheets of metal to make it and will take a lot of heat me make it.

    Hi Randy...I'm new to this...I just soldered my first two pieces of round 16 ga. wire into rings...I'm patting myself in the back...lol...first time with no problems...I have a question...Can I just solder the three pieces of wire together to make a ring maybe flatten them out some first...I do have 16 ga. in sterling, copper and brass and not use the rolling mill...I only have soft solder with flux in the syringe... I'm afraid it's going to take me a few months to buy just all the basic tools I need plus the various solders and all the metal...My sister and I are going to take a metal smithing class together this fall...I'm so excited...lol... she's already gone through the beginning and intermediate classes...nice of her to take the beginning class with me again and pay for it and the metals too...anyway I love your videos...I've learned so much from you already...Will you be doing any new videos...I see these are a year or more old...

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well hello. I don't know how that would work out with just using thinner metals and soft solder. Also by soft solder do you mean soft or easy? This can be done using a drill and a hammer but it will take longer and you would have to be careful when forming it, so you don't have to use a mill bit it makes it a lot easier.

      @@GomeowCreations What if I heated it to forging temperature as I pulled it through the draw plate? Do you think that might work to alleviate weak spots? It might get even more of a blending effect too, more like the effect of the plate form of mokume.

      @@GomeowCreations I tried it, I had limited success. I tried using 4 wires, I think its one too many, and just copper and brass, It worked in some areas and not others. I think I need to solder it in a few more places than I did, I had unwinding issues while drawing it, and go down to one wire and I might have a nice wire with a draw plate. I will try again soon and let you know, I think my main problem is I didn't solder it as much as you did.

    Hi Gomeow, thanks for the video.
    I've tried and the first twist was no problems, then the second twist, one wire broke, the third twist another one broke. (By twist I mean the full process that you repeated 5-6 times off camera).
    Any suggestions? Also, I'd like (once I can make the small gauge one) do a bigger wire, is twisting 3 mokume small gauge a good idea?
    Thanks for the hard work.

    • @TheFreak111
      @TheFreak111 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps rotate it less with the drill? Or rotate it only a little bit, take it out, anneal again, pickle, rotate more. I have no experience with this but just a suggestion.

    So it’s okay to “pickle” all those metals at the same time in your regular pickle?

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes but be careful with how long you leave it in seeing that it will eat away at the brass if you leave it in too long and make the metal very weak.

    I’m just afraid that people think that mokume is just folded and soldered metals together.
