Показать описание
In this video, Robert shows us the technique of Foldforming. Foldforming is considered the only new technique in metalworking, developed by Charles Lewton-Brain in the 1980s. Foldforming allows the artist to turn sheet metal into wonderful 3-Dimensional shapes and textures, without any soldering. This technique has endless possibilities!

COOL TOOLS listened to my complaint and has removed the ads from the main body of the video. I really appreciate that you listened to my complaints. Can't wait to watch more of your tutorials.

Have seen fold forming, but never knew the technique. This is a great introduction, and the first time I've also seen not quenching (which also makes sense). Super appreciate the video!

Now this was a crystal clear explanation of how to work with copper sheets and the right tools. Very nice to watch.

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you. I’ve been collecting “materials” but haven’t started working at making metal jewelry yet. I’m excited to get started now!

I have been working with copper and I was getting quite bored with what I was doing. I have many books on this subject but it's not like watching someone do it and telling you the pitfalls. Thank you so much for sharing. I am hooked.

So very cool! The quality of your impressions are striking. I started in 1972, and this technique was never used, nor have I seen it. I want to make something!!! Thanx

Us sheetmetal workers have been doing this for about as long as we've had Pittsburg lockformer machines to feed metal in crooked and then try to fix it before the boss finds you just burned up $50.00 worth of tin in 10 seconds. Great instructional though. Thank you for sharing new techniques.

Great video. I really like Robert’s presentation style. He’s so enthusiastic! And I love seeing the samples of finished or near finished pieces. Gives me lots of ideas. Thanks!

I am in my 60's and I remember as a child of 10 years old going to Flea Markets where my Mother was absorbed into the Antiques they had for sale, my childhood home resembled a Museum filled with very old furniture and we were very careful in touching it as my mother was very protective of her vast collection, she had a house cleaner French Polishing all the pieces one by one until you could see your face in it, even our TV and VCR was carefully hidden so it was not visible to the untrained eye. There were old ladies selling jewelry exactly like that you are doing right there which I today recognize as the jewelry the "Flower People/Free Love" LOL! wore. My mother called it rubbish because it probably was way to Modern/Contemporary for her taste. The old ladies all had flower dresses on and they smelled like Cigarettes (To me, at 10 somebody in their 20's was old) But yes, exactly like that, and loads of wind chimes and the whole Flea Market smelled like incense or cannabis I would not have known the difference. Just for context, I am South African but my parents was also 100% against the Vietnam War and were very vocal about it while we had House Maids, Laundry Maids, Gardeners and my sister and I had a Nanny all while we were conducting War against pretty much any body who dared to stand up against us, which has not changed after the end of Apartheid. But considering that 25 million people are employed in these kinds of jobs today, it is unimaginable what will happen to these people should they loose their jobs as you might know.
