Hammering A Piece Of Hand Made Jewelry: Part 2
I'm DJ Poye, professional Jeweler and Gemologist, and I am here today on behalf of Expert Village. Okay, here we are. So as you can see, the hammer texture really brought a lot of character to the piece now. And we finished up both sides. But as you can tell with the hammering of the metal, we pitched the metal out a little bit, we stretched the metal. So I want to get it back to where it's straight again, a little bit. And so what I want to do is put it on the mandrill again with small piece of felt and then I will hammer it back into place, to where it's a little more flatter now. And that's what I'm going to do right now. Okay, so with the same hammer again, and I've placed it, of course, on this is the side that will be facing when you wear it, down. And you'll see the mark on the back and we'll just want to tap this out a little bit. Like I said, once again, the metal was stretched out of place. I just want to tap it out again, but I don't want to hurt the hammering that I did on the front, so that's the reason why I have the little flannel there. And that's basically it. Now the piece is straight again.
