Second Gear – Is a sterling silver and brass spinner necklace

This necklace is truly awesome! I love how it looks like a mechanical part of some kind.

I used sterling silver square wire to make the gears, and brass round wire for the rings.

The pendant is all constructed on a sterling silver tube which is flared on each end trapping the pieces onto it.

Each piece moves freely on the tubing, allowing you to fidget and play with it.

The entire pendant is roughly half an inch wide and half an inch high.

Hello everyone,

I have a texture hack for you today, this past winter I was wondering how to get that cool texture that is just like a soft mottled texture like I have on this piece I am working on.

I love this texture its like grunge texture and it will look awesome when I patina it. the trick I found is to use a weighted nylon mallet and a fire brick, just place the piece of metal face down on the fire brick and hammer it with medium force, you may also want to move it around to get more variety of pattern.

Tip Of The Month- April 10, 2016

If you have ever stamped a piece of metal you know how hard it can be to line everything up. The last thing you need to worry about is the metal moving. so the tip is blue painters tape, any tape will do but painters tape won’t leave gunk on your metal or bench block
