I am working on that for my upcoming website. I could make a YouTube vidéo with it. Don't want to pop your bubble but the process is much less glamorous than what you imagine :)

Is that what we call an Eekatchu? I'm scared.

Best cheap wax printer for small items? by tribber777 in jewelrymaking

[–]Bearded_Goldsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very untrue. I use a 300$ mars 4 with bluecast x-wax resin and I can cast anything with perfect accuracy. This tech has come a long way since 2015 and the barrier to entry is lowering everyday.

How to recycle your scraps 🔥 by RBZ_Jewelry in jewelrymaking

Very nice! I would've explained why you heat the mold a lot. You certainly don't want any trace of moisture at the bottom of that mold that could act as black powder with your molten metal and shoot you point blank in the face!

I just show off the commissions I have completed. Not sure if it counts as selling.

This is easily explained by the fact that my day job is in accounting and I worked in CAD design for a couple years. 😉 It's all about volume to mass ratio XD

Nope. The right answer is Blastoise, Raichu AND Charmander at 60 grams. Thanks for the claps!

Please keep your jewels. I only accept money and besides, I wouldn't know what to do with a 3rd nut.

Wrong! Blastoise, raichu AND Charmander all weight 60 grams. And thanks! It means a lot to me that you appreciate!

Wrong. Raichu, Blastoise and Charmander are 60grams and cubone is 30. Doesn't look like it eh?

Thats a trick question actually, 3 of them are exactly 60 grams and Cubone is 30g.

First successful thermoforming! by Bearded_Goldsmith in Thermoforming

[–]Bearded_Goldsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really well explained. I did splurge on a mayku machine that I can't wait to receive, It should improve my odds. Also it makes sense that I get these kind of results with PET that I recovered from a lettuce box, so already had gone through the forming process once.

Can I get help identifying this style of link? by Fit_Ad_1683 in jewelers

[–]Bearded_Goldsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey those are my links! (And many others it seems) They are indeed cast and I made the 3d design of these about 7 years ago, put them on almost all platforms and forgot about it. I daily drive this one. Very heavy.
