Video Project – Simple Anticlastic Bangle Part 1

September 9th, 2011

		Part One 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.

These stakes needed to be hard enough to form any jewelry metal, even titanium, yet yielding enough not to mark silver.
