OMG ! I cant believe you just answered a question/problem I have had that even Midas couldn't answer when I called the company !!!! The PAINTBRUSH !!!!! The metal on the paintbrush ! I was having issues with a bit of what looked like rust on pieces a while after making them . I thought it was bad patina or the container or a number of reasons ! I called Midas and Rio Grande and no one could figure out why ! Such a simple fix !!!! Thank you ! I actually stopped making jewelry because of it and have everything ready to start up again !! I had some beautiful pieces but could not for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong !! I wouldn't be able to let that piece go if i had made it ! It is gorgeous !!!!! Thanks so much !!!!
Oh my goodness! This makes me so happy to hear!! I had the exact same issue where my patina looked like it was starting to rust. So frustrating! Ever since I switched to the plastic paintbrush I haven't had any issues at all with my patina. Also, if you haven't tried it, I suggest using renaissance wax for any places you apply a patina. The wax will actually darken the patina (which is the desired look I try to go for) and it will help prevent the patina from fading/discoloring over time 😊 Here is a link to it if you're interested! This stuff has been a game changer for me! amzn.to/36dXhic
@@SpiritMountainSilver I have some of th eRenn wax but you use it as a top coat over the patina or on the silver and then patina...I wondered if the patina would take if i used the wax first. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!! Game changer !
@@jadeheart911 I apply it after I patina my piece! That's actually another cool hack with the wax now that you mention it.....if you apply the wax to an "un-oxidized" surface and then try to oxidize where that wax is, the surface wont be touched and will remain as is!! It can be a great way to protect anywhere you don't want the liquid oxidizer to go!
I’m no way jewelry making, but I love handmade things. Your video truly shows why handmade pieces are different and exceptional, plus justifies the price - outstanding execution of even more talented artistic idea
Hi! I’m gathering my tools and watching all your video’s now. I have TONs of Questions!!! Like a Million… So I’ll start with just a few. Lol First ~ Why do you cut such a large area outside of your stone setting? Is there a reason that this is done? Second ~ How do you know what solder to use where? I know you list what solder you use for each step. I was just wondering if there is a method to your madness at using each type here and there. And finally… Third ~ What is the tool you use to hold the piece in place while you set the stone? Oh! Wait! I lied!!! There is more!!! 😂 You use backing on your stones. What is it? Do you put it on yourself or do they come that way? Do you remove it before you set it or leave it? Ok! I promise I’m done for now… Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge!!!
I actually do have a beginners series! I have videos on how to make a basic silver ring, the tools you need to get started, along with a metal starter pack etc. They're my older, full length videos so you might need to scroll through my channel a little to find them! Here is one video you can check out but I'd take a look at all of them! th-cam.com/video/nrG_nqMrQgk/w-d-xo.html
You are not only a wonderful silversmith/jeweler but an outstanding teacher as well, I watched and subscribed to one of your videos some time back and now I am back to binge watch the rest of yours, ( now I will watch over and over again). I have learned so much from your videos I do not have to keep looking for someone else to learn this fine art from. Thank you so much for your giving so much of yourself and your talents.
Love the piece ! Nifty quick release you have on your foredorm ! I have to say I find ways around using mine because it's a pain to change out the bits
Awesome video Leah!! I truly feel like the last couple years of learning on TH-cam would have been so much easier with videos from start to end of the process like this - so many videos just show snippets or specific parts or are too long/not concise enough --way to go!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video! Your voice is so fresh! Your pace is perfect. Tip: I keep my oxidizer IN the plastic brush. It is good for months. Just store it brush side up.
wowzer Leah , what a beautiful piece. I have watched your feather and flower videos as well and practice, so tiny for arthritic hands, but will keep at it. Would you mind sharing what gauge silver do you use...and i heard you use #5 for blade, is this what you tend to use more so than other #;s? Im trying to understand better the blade # and the gauge # and when to use what!! also curious about the plastic paint brush, never seen anything like that, could you share where to get this...... thank you so much for sharing, love your video;s...btw...waving at you from vermont!!!
Hi Kristine! Thank you so much for your kind words!😊 I like to use 22 gauge for my backplates! I have found that 5/0 works best for me with that gauge of silver because the blade isn't too big that the teeth get stuck, but not too fine that it takes forever to saw out a piece lol. I actually made a saw blade guide for reference from one of my previous videos! Here is the link to it :) drive.google.com/file/d/1QT6uUdGcqSCStxHJ3eEAUSfF9fP-uOVN/view?usp=sharing That plastic paint brush I use to apply my patina is actually just a water paint brush! You can fill the paint brush with the oxidizer, however I chose not to god forbid if it did leak that would be very very bad...just my luck that would happen to me.🤣 Here is the link to that as well! amzn.to/3sP8ygK
Beautiful and as an Artist myself I love seeing the process! So tempted to try this! But what I respect is the amount of work that goes into a piece like this because it gives me a greater sense of understanding and appreciation of what the artist has gone through to create it. Thank you so much!
Another gorgeous piece! You have such a talent, you should be very proud of your creativity & art. Please keep posting tutorial videos, these are so helpful & informative! :)
Hi! I really enjoyed watching your video! I am trying to start making sterling silver jewelry and you are so detailed in your directions and tips that I feel like I've just attended a real class! Thanks again, and you surely do make beautiful pieces! - Judi
Your work is absolutely beautiful! I picked up so many useful tips in this video. Thank you so much and look forward to watching more of your demonstrations. I am a silversmith and have been for years, I always continue to learn!
Your videos are very clear and concise and wonderful. I always enjoy watching to see how other jewelry artists work, because I can pick up great tips. Thank you for taking the time to create on TH-cam. Your work is very beautiful.
@@SpiritMountainSilver Would you be able to suggest a dremel/drill used for inserting diamonds into metal? I see they have different tips which create the angle for the diamond to sit in (apologies if you addressed this in another video) :)
I'm trying to write a book where my main character's family are silversmiths for thematic reasons, but to do that, I gotta learn about it. This is very helpful. I have a lot to learn, but I'm getting there. Hopefully this book will be good in the likely three or four years it's going to take me to write it.
Excellent tutorial and beautiful piece~! I appreciate your step-by-step instruction 😊 I have been wanting to learn how to do something similar but not sure I have the patience lol. I learned quite a lot in this video, thanks!
Thank you for making this video and your other videos. I always learn something. Question:do you have a hammer tool for your foredom for stone setting. You are so good doing hand setting, just wondered if you had compared the two. Thanks again for making these.
You’re welcome! And I do not, but I have been contemplating whether or not I should get one! It’s been in my list, but I have yet to pull the trigger on it 😬
OMG this is amazing 😍. The quality of your videos are perfect?! Clean and precise! I've taken several expensive training courses and yet what you have shown in this one video contained at least have of the course! Thank you so much for sharing and I am very impressed with your skills!
Hi, so great to see you on TH-cam! What a gorgeous piece. I do have a question; you take such care to saw so close to your components which looks great, but why do you use such a lot (large piece) of metal for the backplate? Also, bristle discs are SOOO expensive, do you ever use tripoli and rouge? I drop my pre-polish time to 10% of bristle disc time, by only using them for special tasks. Do you find you get a finish you like better? Always want to learn, thanks! And btw, its "MUSS- lin", like bus, fuss, cuss.
Thanks for watching! For the backplate, I prefer to leave a little extra room for soldeirng operations. During times when I don't get a perfect solder (where all elements solder down on first try) and have to go back and add solder to any areas where it didn't flow or flowed in the wrong direction, I prefer wire solder to do this which has the tendency to roll all over the place....and roll off the backplate. So to try and avoid the wire solder rolling off the back plate I try to leave a little more room so it is easier to work with. I also never waste any silver. Any excess silver I cut out from the back plate will be used again as a back plate for a smaller bezel or as piece to stamp my makers mark or other stamp designs. I have used tripoli and rouge before and although they give a nice finish I prefer the radial discs. I find they are easier to use and have MUCH less cleanup which is especially helpful to me because I don't have a sink in my workshop to easily clean off the polishing compounds. When using radial discs combined with Zam to finish off the piece I get a superb shine. I highly recommend Zam!
@@SpiritMountainSilver I do bead work, loom work, anklets, etc.... And have a very large collection of silver rings and turquoise stuff, and been watching your videos, and really am thinking about trying silversmith, not sure at the young age of 54 need to start something else.....😁
Truly a work of art. So much talent and artistry in you. Where does one go to find your jewelry; store, catalog, internet... ?? This piece that you made is absolutely spectacular, and the work you put in just shows how MUCH actual knowledge and talent one must possess in order to make this masterpiece as you just did. Fantastic job; I couldn't wait to hit the "Subscribe" button.
