This is the first tutorial for the new year, and I wanted to make something simple that every beginner electroformer can do to upgrade its electroforming solution. It's a cheap and safe way to make a brightener and also to improve the conductivity of the electroforming solution. The substance we are going to use is called PEG. PEG = Polyethylene Glycol = H-(O-CH2-CH2)n-OH PEG stands for Polyethylene Glycol, commonly used as laxative for children, but it is also a good electrolyte for the copper electroforming solution. It doesn't contain metallic ions that could interfere with the growth of the copper deposit. It has a high boiling point, which helps to dissipate heat generated during the electroforming process. The high viscosity, allows for process stability, helping to prevent distortion of the substrate of the copper deposit which can improve the surface quality. If you live in the US you can find it with the name of Miralax which is a specific brand name for PEG 3350. Whil...

 The most wonderful time of the year is coming, Christmas is here! For the biggest event of all time, I couldn't be miss the opportunity to make a themed jewel.

   There are different ways to make Patina on metal, but the most mysterious and still popular way to do it is with Liver of sulfur. In this tutorial, I will resume my three videos from YouTube about LoS. I will teach you how to produce LoS in different ways, and I will also show you how to use it to make different patina colors on copper. In the first video, I will show you how to make it in less than one hour with small lab equipment. This method is safe, but it requires a little care when we manipulate the substances. Three simple ingredients are needed: Distilled water: 100ml Sodium Hydroxide: 20g https://ebay.to/3XKCr0j Pure Sulfur: 5g https://ebay.to/3B2r2z7  The equipment needed is: Gloves https://ebay.to/36ENtxX | https://amzn.to/3iss698 | https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdpYFa3 Measuring scale https://ebay.to/3C3tchF | https://amzn.to/3OSKZyf | https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DmraRjH Beaker http://ebay.to/3J2Jl8H | https://amzn.to/3VDg1w4 | https://s.cl...

The most common piece of jewelry is worn around the neck. Pendants and necklaces come out in an infinity of variety with a chain, a solid wire or a cordage. When using cords specifically, it's necessary to set a finding that allow to link the two extremities behind your neck. There are lots of options on the market, hooks, clasps, loops, caps, and ending of any kind but all machine made. I wanted to make something organic that resemble the handmade style of my creations. With an electrical wire terminal that it's crimpable and a bit of copper wire, I made by hands what I had in mind. These are my handmade crimp ends or crimp end caps.   Supplies Electrical wire terminals https://ebay.to/3y9ZWEE | https://amzn.to/3SVL2dq Electrician scissors https://amzn.to/3zZSjBE | https://ebay.to/3DXUvLs Copper Wire 0.6 mm: https://amzn.to/3LwdFtM | https://ebay.to/3Iifrxj Wrap n tap pliers https://amzn.to/3DxT9YM | https://ebay.to/3N4yMFJ Flat Nose Pliers: https://amzn.to/3IZ88ea | htt...
