Why don’t you attach the links before you make the last loop? Then you wouldn’t have to open both loops again. #Me too- subscribed 😁. Love from Denmark 🥰🇩🇰

Your video just popped up and I found myself very intrigued. I enjoy listening to you I agree about not throwing out the mistakes. I was trying to make a ring and it wasn't working out for like the 4th time. I was so frustrated that I balled it up and headed for the trash can. I stopped and looked at it, went back to my mandrel with it. I made a simple band and anchored the balled mess to it. I call my Oops I did again ring. I truly enjoy watching you. And yes I've subbed to your channel.😊

I save up my scraps & melt them down to make casted charms

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Yes! Do you use just a small hand held butane torch or a larger blow torch?

Nice technique! How do you polish copper?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Hi! There are a few different techniques that can be used. A lot of people use radial sanding disks. You can also use silicone sanders (I got a kit from Rio grande) and then an even deeper sanding (I find anyway) are the abrasive scouring wheels (they’re like that green 3m scrubbing pad for cleaning except really stiff. They’re excellent for a deep polish. Then finish up with a buff using some polishing compound like brown Tripoli and then dialux rouge, both can be found on Amazon. There’s probably even more ideas in this subject, but these are what I use. Hope that helps!

What is manuafacture of those lovely pliers, mine were stolen and I can not find what I like now.

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Xuron. I don’t have them in front of me at the moment. But I think that’s what it is 😁

[@carriefoscatodesign]

Yes, I just looked them up and it’s Xuron. Happy creating!

[@maryesparza9331]

Sorry, missed the length of wire. What is the length ?

[@carriefoscatodesign]

2” for each piece of 20g wire 😁
