    TESTIMONIALS

    Micro mini matting Tool, Antique Reproduction - limited edition of only 39 made. An Email was sent to mailing list members with a link. These are ready. They are very very tiny and have a miniscule raised point texture on an almond shaped face. This tool type was used thoughout historical chasing and still is today, to add texture into very small detail areas on chased work. They are labor intense, hand made tools. They are amongst the most indispensable of my favorite chasing tools. #metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry#goldsmithing ...

    Hand chased Copper Earring. In 15 minutes and with only 4 basic chasing tools, I made this super simple, fun sunset pattern. The tools I used were from the Nechamkin Chasing tools sets. I heat patinated it and rubbed the patina off to highlight the sun and it’s reflection. A lot of chasing is super complex but it dies not have to be. You can make original cool patterns and design with very few tools. This pattern used 4 tools from the basic nechamkin tool sets. If you are a student of chasing, ask me about student discounts! Nechamkin.com to see what the tools are like. #metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry#goldsmithingtraining ...

    Chasing a pattern with inly 3-4 tools. Chasing can be fun and simple. Anyone can try this. Here is a cute little sunset using 4 tools. Thos can be scaled up or scaled down for earrings or a pendant. I used 4 tools from the basic Nechamkin Chasing Tool Sets. If you are a student of chasing feel free to ask about student discounts on the sets used here. #metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry#goldsmithingtraining ...

    Thanks to all who joined, to all who buy from me and support my tiny little tool business. I love the engagement with you all and sharing the work of my colleagues Laurie Vaden and Kevin Potter. I believe it the artwork they perpetuate. If you’d like to learn how to do this art form, Grab a set of tools and I am a comment or an email away with questions. Thanks to Laurie Vaden for her friendship and camera work, Thanks to Kevin Potter for his constant support, thanks to my toolmakers and shop helpers and most of all to you guys: my students and customers.

    There are only 39 of these. Please head to the bottom of any page on nechamkin.com and add your name to the email list. I will send you a link to buy. This will give you an advantage over waiting to find the IG post announcing the release. These are a time consuming hand made labor of love. I only make them in small batches a few times a year and the get snatched up quickly. I believe in perpetuating the use of these tools by continuing to produce them and teach their use and their importance in fine detail chasing. They cannot be mass produced but rather must be carefully carved out by hand and lovingly dressed to have perfect balance and shape. I am an email away if you have questions. Enjoy these tools and please pass them down one day. These reproductions will hopefully become coveted antiques in their own right some day.#metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry#goldsmithing ...

    I made (only) 49 more Micro Mini Antique Reproduction Matting tools. When they are ready, I will announce it.
    If you want first crack at the announcement, please join the nechamkin.com email list. Tiny matting tools like this are a must have for fine ornamental chasing (or ornamental die struck pieces). They allow you to dress tiny spaces that would otherwise look unfinished and blank. These tools are so important. I love making antique reproductions of these little guys and teaching their use. #womanowned #metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry#goldsmithing

    How to: Remove a workpiece from a pitch bowl easily.
    They big takeaway is, only heat enough for the pitch to release. Het tue tongs under an edge and use them lime a lever to gently pry away from the pitch. Remove any residue by warming and squeegeeing with a silicone spatula and or paper towels. The last stickiness comes off with a dab of acetone on paler towel. or in the annealing process. I am using Nechamkin Chasers’ Pitch. Nechamkin.com. If you are a student of chasing email to inquire about student discounts.

    Chasing a matted texture in the background of chased or die pressed pieces: super simple dramatic effect. Here on nechamkin_silver_studios there are two live demos posted demonstrating how I did this. When a design such as leaves, faces, flowers or any other decorative element has a negative dead space, it has been a common silversmithing-chasing practice for ages, to lay in a matted background to contrast the raised elements of the design…please ask me about student discounts if you are learning chasing.

On my IG page here there is a recorded live demo showing how to use these tools. If you are a student of chasing or metalsmithing in general, please inquire by email, about student discounts.

You can see a potter antique reproduction die from @potterusa and the copper piece that came off of it, in this reel, the before matting and after matting are show next to eachother. Instead of cutting the empty background off, it can matted and used as a backdrop area for a pendant or earrings etc. #potterusa #metalsmith #metalsmithting #metalsmiths #metalsmithsofinstagram #metalsmithingjewelry #jeweler #jewelers #jewelersofinstagram #jewelersworkbench #handmadesilverjewelry #silversmith #silversmiths #silversmithingjewelry #silversmithing #silversmithsofinstagram #chasingandrepousse #nechamkinchasingtools #nechamkinsilverstudios #chasingtools #coppersmith #coppersmithing #handmadecopperjewelry #goldsmithing#womanowned #toolmaker #handmadetools ...
