Thanks for that Bigusdickus, in my next video I’ve almost finished i’m trying out some budget silicon rubber mini polishing wheels that work really well. i’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future videos … cheers … Nick
Thank you. I like the idea of the guide for the wire so as to maintain a constant position along the rolls and maintain a constant line of impressions on the wire. the rings wouldn't look as good if the wire wondered along the roll. Kind regards . . . . Andy in the UK
I was surprised too, but if you think about it Nick, it's how you align the wire in the first place. If you put the wire in perfectly at 90 degrees to the rollers, then, with the wire held/guided in two places, and it'll carry on going in line but if the guide plate was far enough away from the rollers so as to allow the wire to go in at even a slight angle then the wire would continue to be progressively drawn to one side, more and more. Anyway, the way your wire pattern alignment came out was very impressive. Well done, it shows how attention to little details really counts. All the best . . . . Andy
Thanks Andy, it’s surprisingly versatile this sweet little economy mill. I think Durston have recently brought out a model that is more multipurpose because of the economy mill competition. One of their new models has now interchangeable side rollers that make it more versatile … N
Thank you for such perfection in the camera work. I am a new self taught metalsmith. I wish more educators and influencers paid attention to that detail. Bravo 👏
thanks for that Jenn, being rather camera shy and not wanting to star in my videos all that’s left is to try and film as much detail as possible. Surprising what can be done with an iPhone … good luck with your endeavours … Nick
i’ve always said I would reply to all comments, but they’re coming in thick and fast these days. being camera shy I am glad I don’t have to have a presence on my channel, my hands and what I make will do … N
I *yelled* when you bolted on that guide, it’s brilliant! I’ve got to make one. I gave up using my fancy wire roller because I couldn’t keep the wire in the grooves, and this is the solution.
thanks for that Jen, the first time I tried this I couldn’t stop the texture wandering across the wire. by adding this guide it’s certainly neatened up the look … good luck with it … Nick

That was awesome! Thank you so much for this easy-to -follow demonstration. I’ve been at a standstill: there’s no way I can afford the expensive models, and the more affordable models, like your mill, worried me. What if it breaks due to cheaper construction, etc. Do you mind me asking how long you’ve had it and if it’s giving you any problems? Thanks so much, and happy holidays to you
Hi Jeannie, as a hobbyist I’m a great believer in a cheap tool is better than no tool. Over the last 10 year's I’ve had great use out of this mill without any problems. it’s obviously not as powerful as a machine that can cost 4x more so you need to check its specifications and capabilities but it’s a very functional mill with all its interchangeable rollers. knowing it’s a budget mill I never overexert it and just take it slowly, however I have produced a lot of wire using it … N
Love your creations 😊 How do we deal with soldering copper and brass without having a silver solder line? I’m very new to all Thai metal smithing. It is quick becoming my next obsession next to book binding.
Hi Hallieshouse, you could use general-purpose brazing rod for steel it has a yellow brass colour. there are a lot of variations for different purposes I found one that is sold for copper to copper brazing which matches in colour. you can make your own silver solder by melting and mixing 1/3 brass to 2/3 sterling silver i’ve not tried it myself, but it’s supposed to work well … N
@@Nickscreativestuff yes you are absolutely right,but unfortunately in my country because of low value of money there is no such things as cheap tools because we are payed by our money but we buy tools on dollar base.any way keep up the good work ill be waiting to see your next video.
@@Nickscreativestuff i live in iran so i think you can guess the situation😂😂😂.as a jewler and gem cutter if idont spend any money i can buy a rolling mill with 6 months of my work and that is so much time and money.
Love this chain! Beautiful! This will be a must for me down the line! Thank you!❤ What is the brand/maker of that rolling mill and where did you purchase it?
Thanks Lena, this mill is sold under the name “budget rolling mill” with seven interchangeable rollers. I got mine from cousinsUK they call it a “value” mill. When searching on Amazon it sometimes appears as coming with five rollers instead of the seven. I think it’s been such a popular mill manufacturers are now making generic rollers with a variety of textures and patterns that can be bought individually to fit … good luck with it … Nick
Would you happen to know if this mill is distributed in the US? I found it from Cousins in the UK with I believe 5 rollers but not sure what the equivalent would be here. Thank you for your reply.
Hi Lena, when doing a US search I found it at www.ottofrei.com they do it with seven rollers and call it a blue economy rolling mill. Also this place that I’ve never heard of has it … kingsleynorth … hope this helps … N
I did modify a pair of circlip pliers that come in very useful for chain making. I often use rubber tube over the end of my round nose pliers for a soft grip … can never have too many tools … N
Hi timothy, when it first came out this was called an economy or budget rolling mill with seven interchangeable rollers. However there are now newer models on the market, but this original one still has a bit of a presence … N
Sorry just noticed your comment Timothy … the wire grooves are square and go down to about 1 mm on this mill. One of my draw plate goes down to about 0.3mm round and would maybe more suited to reducing solder wire … N
thanks for that, if you search the www for budget rolling mill it still shows up all over the place. The original deal I got about 6 years ago, came with 7 interchangeable rollers and cost £170 … good luck with it … Nick
sorry I missed your comment Dario, I love my budget mill its very versatile with its interchangeable rollers. being a hobbyist I don’t think I would have ever invested in a Durston rolling mill for me in this case a cheap tool is better than no tool … cheers … Nick
hi Carlos, I bought this mill a long time ago and deals and suppliers change all the time. When searching the web for Budget Rolling Mill Amazon list it with seven rollers at the moment. I got mine from Proopsbrothers.com … cheers … Nick
Hi jacqui, I would suggest emailing the online jewelry supply companies that list the budget rolling. They may not list parts but could possibly get hold of of them when requested … good luck with it … hope you get it sorted … Nick
im more interested in the plate for keeping the wire straight as you press it..... and the pliers with a thumbscrew stop? you are speaking my language now for sure!! oh, and the plate for making dowels to cut jumprings? you gotta be kidding me right now... almost forgot the knitting needle for jumpring making? bro... just stop. youre gonna make my head explode. I absolutely love modified tools, how do you make it fit your needs? I love it and would love t osee some of the other mods youve done to help you along the way!! thanks for sharing!!!
Cheers Ballistic, I was surprised how well a small hole worked to help prevent the wire wondering. Modifying tools can be a touchy subject with some viewers. The short version of the pliers video th-cam.com/video/WK07YpEdMpA/w-d-xo.html went a bit viral and generated an immense amount of hate comments, ended up just turning them off. I first came across dowel plates when helping someone with green timber framing. Worked really well on a larger scale.

Hi Vikki, I got my economy rolling mill from www.cousinsuk.com it has served me well for many years and was a great introduction into the possibilities of using a mill. However it is the cheapest on the market and has to be treated with care and not overexerted. it’s maximum capacities is nothing compared to more top end models but I have made a lot of wire with it and I love the option of changing rollers and it’s ability for textured ones … good luck with it … N

I have done a lot with it and the interchangeable rollers are very versatile. I thought I would start out with this and maybe move onto something a bit more professional one day … this is where “a cheap tool is better than no tool” comes into it for me … Nick
Hey Nick. Where did u get this particular mill? I am interested in something like this. I have not seen one like this other market here in Canada. Appreciate if u point me in right direction. Gene
Hi Gene, I bought mine from Proops Bros Limited here in the UK many years ago. I think it was about £170. I’ve noticed that Cooksongold sell it now for a lot more money. Different sellers provide it with different roller combinations that you need to be aware of to get a good deal. It is very much a budget machine and it’s not been without problems. I had to return some of the interchangeable rollers due to manufacturing defects. However saying all that I strong believer in “a cheap tall is better than no tool” … good luck with it … Nick
I think it might be a bit hit and miss what stock you get when purchasing this mill. also some of the rollers may be discontinued. I’ve noticed somebody is manufacturing generic texturing rollers with all sorts of nice designs that may fit this mill. unfortunately not cheap like the original mill and rollers… Nick
Hi Reonaldo, when searching “budget rolling mill” on Amazon it’s the one that comes up with seven rollers. It’s now a bit of an older model so the majority of search results come up with a newer looking version that doesn’t have interchangeable rollers. If you keep searching, I’m sure you’ll find one … N
here in the UK we have a lot of choice where to buy such stuff. When searching “budget rolling mill” on Amazon numerous sellers appear in the results. I bought mine from proopsbrothers.com however even Cooksongold.com sell them these days … hope you get it sorted … N
when it first came on the market about 10 years ago, there was no other economy rolling mills to compete with. so it was promoted as a “budget rolling mill” it was so popular that other manufactures soon caught up and released other economy rolling mills with various designs. The original budget mill was well loved because it often came with seven interchangeable rollers for wire making, texturing and sheet work. it is still available from some suppliers found by searching for “budget rolling mill with interchangeable rollers” being so favoured other manufacturers have been making generic rollers to fit it with many other textures and shapes … N

Different sellers provide it with different roller combinations that you need to be aware of to get a good deal. It is very much a budget machine and it’s not been without problems. I had to return some of the interchangeable rollers due to manufacturing defects.
However saying all that I strong believer in “a cheap tall is better than no tool” … good luck with it … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff thank you
I have seen a lot of mills with 2 patterns per roll.but not 3
I think it might be a bit hit and miss what stock you get when purchasing this mill. also some of the rollers may be discontinued.
I’ve noticed somebody is manufacturing generic texturing rollers with all sorts of nice designs that may fit this mill. unfortunately not cheap like the original mill and rollers… Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff yes,prices go up and quality down. Tools and equipment I got 40 years agostill perform fine. New stuff is much inferior
Saya dari indonesia.. Dimanakah saya bisa membeli alat rolling seperti itu...,,,, alat yang sangat saya butuhkan...
Hi Reonaldo, when searching “budget rolling mill” on Amazon it’s the one that comes up with seven rollers. It’s now a bit of an older model so the majority of search results come up with a newer looking version that doesn’t have interchangeable rollers. If you keep searching, I’m sure you’ll find one … N

Name of rolling mill please
Hi Spaztic, it’s called a budget rolling mill … N
@@Nickscreativestuff So the actual name is "budget rolling mill"? Face palm. Honestly really? No offense.
Not like Vevor, or any other maker? Seriously.
when it first came on the market about 10 years ago, there was no other economy rolling mills to compete with. so it was promoted as a “budget rolling mill” it was so popular that other manufactures soon caught up and released other economy rolling mills with various designs. The original budget mill was well loved because it often came with seven interchangeable rollers for wire making, texturing and sheet work. it is still available from some suppliers found by searching for “budget rolling mill with interchangeable rollers” being so favoured other manufacturers have been making generic rollers to fit it with many other textures and shapes … N
