Video Project – Synclastic Bangle Part Four
 |
Part Four Using the Eid Longhi Delrin stackes, Andrew shows you how to create a synclastic bangle using anti tarnish silver. Is this new silver as good as they say? “A synclastic form is a compoundly-curving plane in which the convexity of the axial and the radial lines is oriented in the same direction. A way to understand this is to think of ‘syn’ meaning ‘same’ and ‘clastic’ meaning ‘curve’. Thus, ‘synclastic’ means ‘same curve’.” Extract from Cynthia Eid on the Bonny Doon Press |

Video Project – Simple Anticlastic Bangle Part 3
 |
Part Three In this series of films, Andrew uses the new Anticlastic stakes developed by Cynthia Eid and Betty Helen Longhi. The ability to use thin metal, whether it be silver, gold or even copper, makes the item affordable. If the metal is too thin then it makes the item prone to bend out of shape but if a gentle curve is introduced in two dimensions then the item becomes very rigid. To demonstrate this method, Andrew used anticlastic stakes to easily and effortlessly make a copper bangle. The stakes Andrew uses are only available from Sutton Tools. |

Product Reviews – AntiClastic Stakes
 |
Eid Longhi Anticlastic Stakes The definition of anticlastic is “having a curvature, at a given point and in a particular direction, that is of the opposite sign to the curvature at that point in a perpendicular direction”. “Cynthia Eid and Betty Helen Longhi,two of the foremost practitioners of shellforming have teamed up to design a stake that remedies shortcomings of all the homemade stakes they’d been using for years. These stakes needed to be hard enough to form any jewelry metal, even titanium, yet yielding enough not to mark silver. |

Part Four
Making knots using wire is always a good project, whether it be for a ring, ear rings, pendants or bangles. The trick is trying to get the knot to look neat and tidy and even. Andrew mentions that each length of wire is 17cm but this make a youths size bangle. For an adult you should make each length 19cm. |
