I love it... The middle pick had a longer

for a friend of mine that is a voice coach and music teacher... Thanks
Nici for keeping in touch during the entire purchase and keeping me
updated. I will be back Nici for more gifts. Thanks again. Highly

So today I decided to work with some gold filled material . Gold
filled metal is a much cheaper alternative than gold but of much higher
quality than gold plated . The one I used is 14/20 meaning 5% off the
metal is 14karat gold . The core is made of brass. The difference
between gold plated and gold filled is the quality and the thickness of
the layer while with gold plated you only get a microscopic film of 14k
gold the gold filled layer is much thicker and bonded to the core via
heat and pressure making it tarnish resistant.<br />
I took a 6 gauge half round 14/20 gold filled wire and cut it to a 6
inch length then took a planishing hammer and hammered with the round (
ball ) side of the hammer until you get the nice honeycomb texture. Both
ends were filed by hand being careful not to damage the gold layer and
then formed on a wooden ring mandrel. Then I just took a small sunshine
polishing cloth to take care of any smudges.Nicole Laskinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14796355961447074284noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198210678406497982.post-60462325952338896002015-05-26T11:07:00.001-07:002015-05-26T11:07:17.011-07:00Seagull tie bar with onyx<h1 class="post-title">
seagull tiebar – fresh from the bench</h1>
Today I made a seagull tie bar out of sterling silver and added
some stones to it . I used 18 gauge sterling silver, 2 x 3mm serrated
bezel cups and 2 x 3mm black Onyx cabochons.<br />
<a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull19.jpeg"><img alt="seagull19" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-369" height="240" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull19.jpeg?w=300&h=240" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull20.jpeg"><img alt="seagull20" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-370" height="265" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull20.jpeg?w=300&h=265" width="300" /></a><br />
what else you need<br />
jewelry saw and 1/0 saw blades<br />
chasing tools or screw drivers, a hammer , a nylon hammer or rawhide hammer<br />
steel wool or sandpaper if you do not have a flex shaft or dremel for polishing<br />
a torch , flux, solder , pickle solution<br />
patina ( liver of sulfur or black max )<br />
<a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull.jpeg"><img alt="seagull" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-350" height="229" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull.jpeg?w=300&h=229" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull1.jpeg"><img alt="seagull1" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-351" height="249" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull1.jpeg?w=300&h=249" width="300" /></a><br />
draw your bird on the sheet – you can use a template or freehand
designs , add a bar to make the overall length 4 inches ( this tie bar
is going to be for a normal sized tie ) scale down if you want to make
one for a skinny tie. Start sawing your tie bar out , when you are done
sawing add some texture with the chasing tools<br />
<a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull2.jpeg"><img alt="seagull2" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-352" height="255" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull2.jpeg?w=300&h=255" width="300" /></a><br />
file all edges nice and round<br />
<a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull3.jpeg"><img alt="seagull3" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-353" height="252" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull3.jpeg?w=300&h=252" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull4.jpeg"><img alt="seagull4" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-354" height="257" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull4.jpeg?w=300&h=257" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull5.jpeg"><img alt="seagull5" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-355" height="267" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull5.jpeg?w=300&h=267" width="300" /></a> <a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull6.jpeg"><img alt="seagull6" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-356" height="231" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull6.jpeg?w=300&h=231" width="300" /></a><br />
Now you can start shaping your tiebar and create the “spring ” to
hold it in place. Take a pen or a steel rod and bend the bird part over
the bar part – the bird part being slightly longer than the backside.
Turn over and bend the bar upwards with your fingers . Take the nylon
hammer and hammer directly on the bend thus closing the tie bar – this
way you work harden the spring and make it tight so that it will not
slide of the tie.<br />
<a href="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull7.jpeg"><img alt="seagull7" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-357" height="270" src="https://metalopia.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/seagull7.jpeg?w=300&h=270" width="300" /></a><br />
If you want to you can now stop and finish your tie bar with the patina and polish or you can add your stones<br />

Flux the back of your bezel cups and add a small amount of wire solder ( or sheet solder or paste solder )<br />
Heat carefully with the torch until the solder flows . Quench in
water. Flux the whole of your tie bar to avoid too much oxidation and
fire scale ( I use paste solder ) put the bezel cups on the wing and
start heating again very carefully by drawing circles around the wing –
never stay to long in one place with the torch – the piece is small and
delicate and you might end up melting either the wing or the bezel cups .
Heat until the solder flows again then quench in water and throw in the
Pickle solution ( never quench in the Pickle solution itself – its
dangerous and stupid)<br />
wile you wait for the pickle to do its work – eat<br />

Take your piece out of the Pickle bath using copper tongues . Polish
either with your flexshaft , dremel or sandpaper. Add Patina and polish
again . The very last step is always to set the stones . Do some slight
polishing with a soft cloth to get rid of any finger prints and enjoy
your piece . Hope you liked it .<br />

A pretty easy project really .All you need is your saw ,paper ,metal sheet ,patina , hole punch pliers ,chain and jump ring .<br />
Draw your glover leaf onto paper and stick that on the metal sheet
.When I make something simple like that I use 18 gauge sterling silver.
20 gauge is too thin in my opinion .I know a lot use 20 or 22 gauge as
the cost is much lower. After transferring your design onto the sheet
simply start cutting with the jewelry saw. File your edges . add patina (
for polishing you can use sand paper or steel wool )<br />
punch a hole add your jump ring and voila . done. I added mine to the guitar i made the previous day,<br />
