Video of Zoom live workshop, very little audio in video. The video shows step 5, polishing silver.
There is some breakthrough after the first compound and I start to go much lighter in the polishing.
Step 5 refers to this page, https://zac.wnz.mybluehost.me/website_a640e8d6/?page_id=225

Here are 2 pieces I have been working on during the Facebook live sessions. An Edo period Karatsu katakuchi with a lot of gold and yobitsugi. The other is a Mishima bowl, (Japanese name), even older.
This step shows the application of red in preparation for gold. This is step 1 on this page, https://zac.wnz.mybluehost.me/website_a640e8d6/?page_id=225

This is a figure I have posted before but it is so nice I thought I would post it again.
I have decided to make a new site from which I can sell from. Up until now I have sold through Etsy and found it convenient although expensive in fees. They have just raised their fees to a potential 15% of a sale
which I assume most sellers will deal with by raising prices. Instead I will either set up a store on this site or make a new site. The domain won’t change, it will still be the same URL.
These 2 bowls came to me a couple of months ago and I am getting around to working on them.
Both are very old, from 16th. –17th. century, Korean.
This video shows the last polishing of silver #3 on 2 pieces I am finishing for someone who did the substrate lacquer. There is a breakthrough on the first one and second one, probably caused by the application of the red. Short of completely sanding everything off and reapplying the metal there is no way to fix it.

This video shows the secondary polishing of silver #3 on 2 pieces I am finishing for someone who did the substrate lacquer. There is a breakthrough on the first one and what looks like the possibility of one on the second.
