Most detailed silversmithing tutorials, straight to the point but VERY detailed and explanatory. Thank you so much as always!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words!😊
Thanks for sharing. I don't know where I am going to put it, but I am going to make us one of those with a car jack. Very cool, and a great result.
Loved the video and I like how you explain things
Glad you liked it!
Nice video & thank you for sharing.....
Very nice! I have a similar set up. I was able to get a piece of steel pipe and a steel plate welded together to place on top of my impressions, it really helps to even out the impressions for me.
That's a great idea!
Nice job ! Thank you!👍🏼
Thank you so much Herb!😊😊
Love the video !
Thank you!!❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thanks for watching!
That was Great! Thanks so much👍😉🇨🇦
You bet! :)
Very interesting. I wondered how this was done.
Thank you!😃
Jeffs impression dies are nice.
The best!
Nicely explained without ‘ums’ and ‘uh s’ Short and sweet. 👍
Why thank you!😃
Very cool
Thank you!!😃
Very nice machine for ❤ jewellery
I love your videos. I am also looking in purchasing a hydraulic press. I see others use a 20-ton press; those are really pricey. Is there a reason for using a bigger press. I see some really good prices on 6-, 8- or 10-ton presses for a lot cheaper.
The 6 ton requires a LOT of muscle. I don’t mind it but I can see 20 ton doing the job much easier
Great video! Can you use a hydraulic press with shotplates?
Thank you! And I haven't personally tried one for a shot plate but I don't see why not :)
Great video! Do you always use 26 gauge sterling with the impression dies?
I do!
@@SpiritMountainSilver
thanks!
Hi there. What kind of urethane do you use? I have purchased some dies but am having trouble finding the correct urethane. Thank you in advance.
Hey! I'm not sure of the exact kind I use, however, I know Potter Tools sells urethane for impression dies that works great.
Ooh 😮 Interesting 🧐 how much the Impression and hydraulic press?? Amazing video and nice info like always 🙏🏽💙
The hydraulic press is around $150-200 and the impression dies range anywhere from $50-70!☺️
When using the impression to make a ring like you showed with the horseshoe do you need to put the die impression on a back plate too?
Yes I like to-especially for rings!☺️ I usually will solder the impression to 22 gauge sheet and then saw out the horseshoe impression again!
Is there a way to use impression dues without a hydronic press?
You could try hammering but may take a lot of muscle!
that's great explanation. do you cut the Urethane ? how can you cut it?
I do not cut the urethane myself. However I am sure you could use some heavy duty cutting shears to do so!
@@SpiritMountainSilver thank you 😊
Where did you buy the urethane square?
Potter tools
Which urethane did you use? and can you get the same results with 18gage
I'm not sure of the exact specs. However, I got the Urethane from Potter USA and Jim Brandvik Tools on etsy. 18 guage is much harder to work with since it is a thicker gauge. It will require a lot of annealing.
Where did you find your soft urethane? I can only find the super hard kind and it won’t work in my press
Potter tools has some!
What beand/type hydraulic press is that?
It’s a 6 ton hydraulic press from harbor freight. There’s a similar version that can be purchased on Amazon as well for around the same price. Link is in the description of the video 🙂
@@SpiritMountainSilver thanks! 😁
Thank you for an informative video. I'm looking into buying a hydraulic press and wondering what size will work. I have a few questions. One, does the 6 ton work on all of your dies? Two, is that flux you're putting over the marker? Why? Did you bolt down your hydraulic press? Thanks again! Nice video.
Yup, I have found the 6 ton press works for all my dies...just requires some muscle. I like to flux a piece anytime I am heating it just as an extra precautionary to avoid fire scale. I do not bold down my press! Hope this helps!
I am having trouble finding a 6-ton hydraulic press On Amazon as your video directed. I did however find a 5-ton one. Will 5-ton still work for really deep clean good impressions?
Also, please send me a link to the 6-ton one if you can. Thanks!❤
Oh, nevermind. I 'did' find it! Thanks!🌠
Thank you for the really thorough tools and supplies list you included in your video description. I really appreciate how you broke it down in categories like that. It was VERY helpful for me!
I was thinking about getting one of these 6 ton presses, but have been unsure about their strength in comparison with the Harbor Freight 20 ton. (Of course I’d love a Potter 20 ton-but can’t justify the expense.
I just recently got a 20 ton press from harbor freight! It is much stronger and requires much less effort than the 6 ton. I was able to bat out 10 impressions in 30 minutes as opposed to only 3 impressions with the 6 ton press in the same amount of time.
I also bought the 20 ton press from Harbor Freight, now I need to find room for it in a very tight work space. Peace All.
Yes, space is an issue. I am not as strong as I used to be, so the 20 ton may be necessary-Potter now has a manual 20 tone for about $1000, payable in installments.
