Files are not only an essential tool for filing and finishing jewelry but you can also use them to carve your metal, think of the endless design possibilities! For this demo I used my triangular Glardon Vallorbe needle file from
@ottofrei1930 They have a HUGE range of these fabulous files and you can buy individual needle files from them in a range of cuts or invest in a set. These Swiss made files are the best of the best and you’ll have them forever. You can save 10% now through 6/15/22 on your file order from Otto Frei using code MFILEX so go stock up on a few shapes and cuts (I love having a set of cut #2) now a little bit about my demo ring: I used 5mm x 2MM wire to fabricate the ring, a GRS Layout Mandrel (also available from Otto Frei) and my video is sped up as I’m filing. Optimal filing is done by pushing the file away from you, however on small work like this I do go back and forth but I’m still emphasizing the outward push which is the more effective direction. Hope this makes sense. My purpose in creating this video is not the perfectly carved ring but to inspire you all! Have you ever carved a ring? Try it!
