Leo, told me I was using the incorrect brush finish for bracelets, so I will now use the correct BERGEON 2834-C. Just need a couple sugar free scoops vanilla and a slice of sugar free strawberry rhubarb encouragement before we begin !

Thanks,
Randy

Have fun Randy....BTW, I love rhubarb!

Wow, this is getting serious. I really wish you had taken some before and after shots of the head so why not humor us on the bracelet project?

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 07:37 AM

I am shootin pictures as I go !
So there'll be a side by side or the two sides...

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 08:09 AM

So anyways, Leo, "Thanks" for showing me "the way" !
Clearly, the brighter finish was the BERGEON 2834-C...

You're on a roll my friend.

Isn't it an easy tool to work with?

Yup, I thank you sir !

Need to get some "tooling" to better a more consistent brush effect...

Thanks,
Randy

Hang on Oscar and I'll show you some before & after pic's.

Idle Swede · 20 September 2009, 01:17 PM

Before and after using the pen only.

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:20 PM

these are of the bracelet before when I used a much finer finish; its too fine a finish.

Colnago · 20 September 2009, 01:23 PM

Randy, what's the end of the tool made from?....could you give us a close up shot of the tool....maybe even an "action" shot showing how it works, I am very intrigued and also keen to see......I could do with one of those to be honest.....

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:32 PM

ok, let me shoot some more pics

I took the tip off to show the length of the brush.
Its fiberglass I guess.
I got this one from Natl Jewelers Supplies, just Google em.
It was 18.90 w/shipping.

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:48 PM

then here, we see that I mask off a section at a time then simply brush beginning at one end and continuing to the end. I may try a guide of sorts to keep better stroke pattern, let me improvise something and shoot that...

mdtddd2007 · 20 September 2009, 01:52 PM

cool

STEELINOX · 20 September 2009, 01:56 PM

then here I have some .25 inch think pieces of wood to support a "guide" for the brush to ride against to help control the stroke pattern. If you have a better idea for this, please speak up.
The one thing that I would prefer is some sort of jig that exposed more of the inside radius; so a more rounded surface for the strap to lay against, is what I am trying to say...

Idle Swede · 20 September 2009, 02:03 PM

Try to tilt the pen a little bit more Randy and don't do long strokes.

Do one link at a time with short strokes.

ok, that makes sense...

Ok, so here's what it looks like with "short individual link strokes"...

Colnago · 20 September 2009, 02:10 PM

Thanks for the pictures Randy....very informative.....

Colnago · 20 September 2009, 02:10 PM

Oh, and the tips Leo!
