Process we follow to manufacture Silver and Metal handicrafts:
Step 1: Annealing (Softening)
Our craftsmen start the process by softening the hard metal before going towards the fabrication task of the metal. Softening the metal is most important because it must be annealed/soft throughout the metalsmith process.
Step 2 – Cutting, drilling, and sawing
Our artisans use instruments like fine saws, tin snips, other cutting pliers, drilling attachments on flex shafts, disc cutters, metal punches, etc. for shaping the metal.
Step 3 – Filing and sanding
We keep a check that the edges should be cleaned up with metal filers and/or sanded with steel wool. It reduces the sharpness of the edges that are dangerous if directly touched.
Step 4 – Forming the art
Further, we work on shaping a flat metal sheet into a three-dimensional model for wooden or metal molds.
Step 5 – Joining the edges
Our metalsmith monitors that all the joints are connected via soldering and fusing or cold connections such as riveting, or weaving, with screws or tabs for a stronghold.
Step 6 – Bringing it to reality / Forming up the art
Completion of the project from a final touch-up of the art with steps like sanding, polishing, and buffing to create smoothness on the figure.
