  • In this video, I experiment with creating a "cracked", ragged look to metal. I had a vision of a very jagged edge and tried various methods to achieve that vision. This is one of the experiments.
    Although, the finished product wasn't exactly what I saw, it was pretty cool and I felt that a mosaic was an interesting way to use it. But, I can also see these pieces stacked, on edge and in a variety of other designs.
    I hope this video proves useful, to you, and that you can come up with a unique way to employ this technique. Welcome to: "Cracking" metal!

    That final piece you made with it was what caught my eye at first because I have a large bead on my bench I’m working on with a similar look only I’m sawing my mill printed scrapes apart and soldering them to the surface of the bead for a mosaic look.
    This cracking experiment is cool and you finished piece is really lovely. I am gold leafing the space between the small cut pieces on my bead.

    WOW! I haven't even learnt to solder properly but watching your video has tapped into my mixed media side. The piece at the end is just glorious! I can only dream of having the skills & a studio! Gosh, I wish I could borrow you for a few months.... Fab!! Tyfs 😲🙃😊

    Loved these experiments, and I’m looking forward to the video on the finished piece. Thanks for putting on the mad scientist hat (or apron, as the case may be) for us 😁

    You are always awesome and funny. I love to watch your videos and I have learned a lot from you. I love this technique, I will make some. I like to know if this technique work on copper. Have you tried it yet? Thank you😊👍.

    Nancy What a stunning piece! Could you offer a little direction on how you soldered these chips? Given how they've been beat up I'm assuming you can't get them flat enough to make full contact... spot-soldered? (I don't know that that's an actual term!)

    Really cool technique. Can you only do this with Silver or could it also be done with copper?

  • @heathergreene-smith7094

    Question / debate. I was just told that quenching silver in cold water rehardens the silver. Is that true? I've never had it work that way but I'm not a pro.

    Hi! What are you spraying your block with at the end? And why....?

    • @esalenchik
      @esalenchik Před 5 lety

      Water to stop the 'burning' process inside the charcoal block to help it last longer
