1
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,300
So in this video, 

2
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:11,180
we're going to look at the 

3
00:00:11,180 --> 00:00:13,300
how to use of rolling mill

4
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:17,240
and how to use it to texture

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,340
little pieces of copper 

6
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:21,980
to inprint different

7
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:26,400
texturing patterns and use it to

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,460
in our jewelry designs. 

9
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:30,740
So we'll look at the rolling mill 

10
00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:31,940
to start with, 

11
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:33,920
and it's 

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,440
it's made up of a handle and two sets

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,960
of smooth rollers

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,520
and two sets of grooved rollers.

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,520
And by turning the handle, 

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,440
you are turning the rollers

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
if you imagine a pasta maker

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,320
or perhaps a mangle.

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,500
But because of the rollers 

20
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,420
as a made of a very hard steel, 

21
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:04,460
it's very tough and you can

22
00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:05,540
thin metal out 

23
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:07,920
and we can use it for texturing. 

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,820
To adjust the gap between 

25
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:12,200
the rollers, which you quite

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,100
often have to do 

27
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:14,460
because you got thicker metal 

28
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:19,140
or you got a lot of texturing material.

29
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:21,660
You use this toggle on the top

30
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:24,820
and this adjusts just the gap.

31
00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:26,040
It is marked off 

32
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,220
with measurements, so you could 

33
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:30,780
note down the measurement 

34
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:32,280
if you are doing a practice 

35
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,540
and then you can come back to it 

36
00:01:35,540 --> 00:01:37,680
when you do your final piece. 

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,100
We're now going to 

38
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,700
I'm going to demonstrate 

39
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,480
how to texture a little piece

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,980
of our copper strip again. 

41
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:47,600
We're going to use the copper 

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,940
and we're just going to use this sort of 

43
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:53,900
plastic voil. It's nothing special.

44
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,160
It just comes from a 

45
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,140
sort of a craft shop, 

46
00:01:57,140 --> 00:01:59,580
and we cut a little piece off

47
00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:02,520
and we're going to place that 

48
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,140
on top of the little strip of copper.

49
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:08,400
We could create like a little sandwich

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,300
if we wanted to produce

51
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,940
a matching two matching pieces.

52
00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:17,360
But then we're just going to

53
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,160
put it through the smooth rollers 

54
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,020
and wind it through.

55
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:24,160
What we need to do, 

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,000
though, is to adjust 

57
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,100
the gap of the rollers 

58
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:33,160
because if it's too wide, it just won't

59
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,520
imprint onto the rollers

60
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,100
onto the metal. 

61
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:42,560
So we just got to find a happy medium.

62
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,320
If it's too narrow, 

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,520
then it's going to be very hard 

64
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,960
to turn the handle. 

65
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,020
So we're just going a bit too far there.

66
00:02:50,020 --> 00:02:52,220
We'll just go back a little bit, 

67
00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:54,000
and once we get it, 

68
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,660
then we only need to do

69
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,520
make some fine adjustments 

70
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,000
and we need to be just 

71
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,800
so we can do it with one hand.

72
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,360
But it just 

73
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,960
it's just sort of need

74
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,520
to sort of wind it 

75
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520
through nice and gently 

76
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,080
and as it comes through

77
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,460
and then we can see that 

78
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:20,460
it's in part and a lovely sort of

79
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:23,100
nice mesh pattern.

80
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,240
We can chop that into small pieces

81
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,200
and make it into earrings. 

82
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400
Or we could make it into a ring band

83
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,000
and we use it as like 

84
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,080
a stock piece of material. 

85
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,460
An alternative pattern. 

86
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:39,380
We could use a sort of adapt

87
00:03:39,380 --> 00:03:41,920
the mesh pattern

88
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320
and just by putting it through these, 

89
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,420
the grooved rollers,

90
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:48,320
the groove rollers 

91
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,980
are really for making wire,

92
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:55,320
but we can adapt to that

93
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,500
and making an interesting pattern

94
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,240
in our piece of copper, 

95
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,440
and we can just wind it 

96
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,000
through a little bit tight, but

97
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,840
sort of winding through nice and 

98
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,040
carefully, and it gives you these

99
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,860
interesting 

100
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:19,680
graduated pattern. 

101
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,600
So we can use the rolling mill for

102
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,160
rolling copper our little copper

103
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,900
practice pieces, silver and gold.

104
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:31,980
Once we've decided 

105
00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:33,780
what pattern we want to do, 

106
00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:35,280
then we can set it up 

107
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:37,480
and just roll the metal through

108
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,600
and you get a nice imprint.

109
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,040
And we use the mesh to start with.

110
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,040
And you can see that

111
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,240
this technique has been used to make 

112
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,200
a necklace. 

113
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,500
And what they've done is textured

114
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,200
a bigger piece of metal 

115
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320
and then cut it into a disk

116
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,560
and then domed it. 

117
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,520
And you can see 

118
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,420
it makes an interesting effect. 

119
00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:07,380
So with simple texturing

120
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:09,120
with the rolling mill, 

121
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,000
you can start producing 

122
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,760
a nice piece of jewelry.
