The making of a sterling silver, folded box with flush hinge

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is how I made a sterling silver box which was first folded and then a flush hinge was constructed. Its not shown in a finished state as there is some engraving to be applied. The engraving process will be another video, this one is long enough as it is. If you don't want to listen to me whittering on you can always speed up the playback.

    Very nice work. I like how you build up the bottom of the box versus just soldering on a flat piece. I may need to "borrow" that approach.

    Thank you. You are very welcome to borrow anything you can. It is a traditional way of making a lot of vessels.

    Thank you. The tool I use is the super easy graver to push up a stitch which the wire rests on when it's soldered. A stitch is a bit like the burrs that jewellery setters push up and then they round over the top to form a grain. The stitches are a bit larger. You don't need to use a powered tool you can use a spitstick (onglet) or a standard 90⁰ push engraving tool.
