Behind the Scenes....

Enjoy these video shorts, showing how we create your Tin Gifts!

Traditional Tin Casting

It all starts right here… The melting pot is heated to around 270 degrees to enable the metal to melt. A vulcanised rubber mould is then placed inside the machine, which is then switched on, and set to spin between 400-700 RPM, depending on the size of the mould and castings. The melted metal is then ladled into the moulds via a small opening in the centre of the machine lid. The casting machine then spins rapidly for around 45 seconds before it comes to a halt. Then after a few moments, using a (gloved!) hand, the mould can be removed from the machine and opened. Inside are the solid castings, ready for the next stage of the journey

Polishing

We use a number of polishing methods, depending on the size and use of the item in question. An intial fettle to clean up any edges will take place using a belt linisher. Next, a scotchbrite wheel with a course abrasive compound removes any lingering casting residue and results in a uniform surface with a satin finish. Finally, to obtain a stunningly high shine, we use a polishing compound with an open stitch swansdown mop. Once the last machine polish has taken place, every piece receives a hand polish using a blue silver cloth to remove any polishing compound and to check for faults or imperfections.

Metal Forming

To create some of our items, we take the raw castings, and form them using a hammer. In this case, we have a smooth flat heart shaped casting. Starting at one end we use a hammer to beat the metal, applying various pressure as we move around the heart, to create a 'dished' effect. By beating the metal, it also helps to create a beautifully faceted finish once polished. The brilliant shine that emerges is stunning.

Personalising

We LOVE personalising your Tin Gifts and Jewellery! We use hand stamps to add personalisation. Each and every character is individually hand stamped. We add names, dates, places & special phrases. Creating wonderfully unique, bespoke gifts that will be treasured for years
