#Repost Metalsmith Society In this week’s Rolling Mill Mini Series post I wanted to show off how to use your mill for MARRIAGE OF METALS (this is a process of soldering contrasting metals together). In my first example I’ve taken three wires, twisted them, soldered them and rolled them through the part of the rollers that make square wire. Once I have a beautiful twisted square wire I can stop here and use that in my work or keep going to solder a few of them together a...nd form a sheet. As you can see the sheet can then be used to form a ring band or any other number of projects. My other project is a fake mokume gane I solder together layers of brass, copper and silver (using hard solder) I then drill holes and use a ball bur to remove some of the top layers as I roll it through the mill. I annealed and rolled through many times until I had a flat sheet with some of the copper and brass showing through! The possibilities are endless! You can mix gold, silver, copper or brass. You do have to be careful if you plan to solder with your fake mokume gane - use medium or even easy solder so it doesn’t fall apart!

#Repost @metalsmithsociety WELCOME TO THE MINI SERIES every Friday (for at least 6-8 weeks) I will be posting about my rolling mill! Please tune in and share your thoughts and questions! This first post is going to be about the proper securing and care of my @pepetools_usa 130MM Single Combo Rolling Mill #189.20A Step 1 You must bolt your rolling mill to a secure surface! You want to bolt at least one hole on each side! I placed my mill at the end of a sturdy table,... marked with a pencil where I needed to drill, drilled then bolted it! Step 2 Purchase some 3-IN-ONE Oil. This will prevent rust. Rust is going to be the number one enemy of your rolling mill! As you can see in the video I put some on (I might have been a little liberal with the oil ) then I use a shop rag while I rotate the rollers. I like the 3-IN-ONE for daily use and the Simichrome is a bit more abrasive (kind of like toothpaste) good when you need to give your mill a good cleaning! Step 3 When you are done working for the day, and after you’ve oiled the rollers, always keep a gap between your rollers when they aren’t in use! Having the rollers touch can create rust spots if condensation forms. You also want to cover your mill. In one image I use the plastic bag that came on the mill, in another image I have an old pillow case covering it. Your biggest take away should be KEEP YOUR ROLLING MILL DRY just a disclaimer here: I’m not a rolling mill expert so please feel free to chime in with your experiences and we can all explore this amazing tool together! @a&ajewelrysupplies is offering our community an awesome deal on this @pepetools_usa mill with code METALSMITH ($525 for this 130 combo mill or $495 for the 130 flat, shipping included $50 discount which is an amazing deal!) #METALSMITHSOCIETY #metalsmithsocietyminiseries #rollingmill #pepetools See more
