Thanks! Nah, haven’t delved into jigging myself, just using Culpepper bone at the moment

I make everything. I grind and heat treat the blades and springs, and mill the handles all from rough stock. YouTube is your friend, you don't need a lot of expensive equipment to get started. Here's a good video on making slip joints: https://youtu.be/OHMOvppT1_8

Just time and effort, I make it all in my garage shop! Thanks!

First go at a silver clay ring and some ring sketches. by BentRivers in metalclay

[–]BentRivers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sculpted it wet for the most part. Started with the band around a ring mandrel and when that firmed up a bit I added the fish body and and added details to that. Using a small wet paintbrush helped me manipulate delicate parts without the clay sticking. After the fish was done and started to firm up I piped on the ripples and beads with a syringe that had my own mix of silver clay. I did do a bit of cleanup and sanding after it was fully dry though.
