I enjoyed your video. It brings memories of the braided and twisted rings and bracelets I've made over the years. I learned a few new things watching you and reading the comments. Thanks to all.
well done. I wanted to share something I saw a few days ago. To quickly clean our oxidized copper. another method is to put a teaspoon of salt into 1/4 cup of vinegar...drop the piece into the bowl , it works super fast to restore colour.That citric acid worked super well too.Thankyou.
I don't understand all the negative comments. I like it so far I've got my wire twisted but I've got to figure out how to rig a table vice since I don't have one.
Love the finished product! I have a suggestion though.. you should reface your anvil and give it a mirror polish, or as close as you can get. This will help the finished product have a much better shine after flattening 🤙🏻I’m a blacksmith so it’s a bit hard to see an anvil that coarse and rusty
Very nice. Never thought of using citrus/citric acid for a cleaning. Very interesting pattern after final filing and polish. Thank you for making and sharing this video. For shaping bracelets I usually use an oval instead of a round mandrel, or the horn of my 68kg farrier anvil (long story how I acquired it) or both. An oval fits better to the wrist if it is for arthritis. (Folk medicine that seems to work, some wear copper to help ease pain of arthritis. It seems to change body chemistry. When one first starts wearing the copper, their skin may turn greenish at the spot. Over time that stops and maximum benefit is obtained.)
I agree with your opinion. It is also interesting to know your opinion about my videos. In one of the videos, I made gold earrings out of ordinary coffee beans.
Watching you fashion the copper bracelet, I thought what if you took the braided wire and wove it in and out between the two straight wires? I feel you would get a new different design when you hammered it. Keep doing your beautiful work ❤️🔥
Yes I know someone who has had positive results with a copper wristband against arthritis, even more effective if you make copper items to cubit measurements🙂 research Slim Spurling or check out Twisted Sage. The science of Radionics is very interesting..
Nice idea twisting thinner gauge wire around thick gauge. You need to work on the evenness though, the loops are quite uneven throughout the whole length. I suggest clamping a single wire into vice and the other end into a cordless drill and spin it until it's completely straight, when you make all your material straight then twist them together. It's better to start with all your stock material straight.
I find the slight uneven twisting and such to be more attractive. It is a genuinely handcrafted original. On the very first wire twisting there was a little wild loop that was a minor bit that could have easily been avoided. It looks like it disappeared during twist though.
Great job , I use a drill to twist my copper which gives perfect twists everytime especially with bigger gauge wire but I agree with what you said about keeping it authentically hand made and your end result is beautiful , thanks for the video and btw i found your instructions easy to follow much appreciation from Perth Australia P.S. hang onto your silver it'll be worth a fortune soon :)
Thanks for watching !!! That is very Nice question 🤔 I think Make that what You Like Try everythink With Tools without tolls find that what You Love and what is for You beather !
No need to rush to quench when annealing copper. Also better to leave wire straight to do the next stages of annealing. Copper work hardens so bending after annealing produces local hardening at the positions where the bends are straightened.
This is a very substantial cuff bracelet... very cool! ❤ Beautiful craftsmanship on the bracelet and I like your manual wire twisting technique. It's quite clever to use an allen wrench as a crank (I wish I'd thought of it! 😄). I already have twisted wire waiting for a project like this but not sure my kitchen torch will provide sufficient heat. I may have to practice making a less substantial cuff instead... or use silver. Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
Wow!! I am a collector of jewellery by far. But completely new to jewellery making! Why do you heat the copper the. Submerge to cool then hammer then repeat ? I would assume heating it would harden it. But then hitting with hammer will soften it again. I'm confused. I'm about to do my first wire wrapp this weekend with a huge amber piece with 1.5mm pure copper wire. So trying to learn as much as I can ready
It's the other way around. Copper, Brass, Silver, Gold... They will soften when heated. It "relaxes" the metal. Working it (twisting, hammering...) will harden and stiffen it.
Wearing copper bracelets will draw out all the cryptotrons from your body. Cryptotrons are necessary to maintain proper production of your hair follicles in your ears which help to filter out things you don’t want to hear. Anyway that’s what I was told by a “doctor” with a sack full of chicken feathers,bones, the beak of an owl and a bottle of Wild Turkey. 😜
How DARE you give people this secret knowledge! De trute needs to stay with our elite cabal of truters. You should keep de trute carefully inside that bag of feathers. By The way, the feathers can also be added to epoxy resins with stones collected from the beach to filter out the carboloids from the third layer of the atmusfear. Edit: sorry about the typo. That should read the *turd* layer
I can't quite make out the writing for the lengths. Is it: 2 x 1.5m long 1.3mm diameter wire, with 2x 16cm long 2.6mm wires? Thanks for the cool tutorial!
Looks awesome dude! I have a couple suggestions that are very minimal but would help out a ton. When your about to start twisting the wires give it a slight tug with the pully wheel and Allen wrench enough to stretch the wire a little bit so you start at the end of each wire and they twist evenly. The next suggestion after twisting, wrap them around a wood dowel or something instead on putting tight bends in them but you can anil them quickly still and unraveling them would be easier and more evenly work hardened. Just suggestions because you achieved a nice bracelet doing it your way. Keep on keeping on!
Looks like you went straight from 240 to 2000 grit. Was wondering if you skipped over the intermediate sanding in practice or maybe just didn’t film it.

@@Silverhand.. but does it seal off the copper so the body won't absorb the copper when you wear it? that seems like it would negate the beneficial aspect of wearing copper.
I tried to wear a similar bracelet, unsuccessfully. Either my hands are excessively hairy, or I need something smoother and with fewer holes to capture the hair.

IF U DONT HAVE THE ACID, WHAT CAN U USE IN THE HOUSE AS A CLEANER?
Excellent
Chuck a hook into a cordless drill and twist your wire evenly , easily.
I didn't know copper annealed by rapidly cooling it. I thought metals had to cool down slowly for annealing to happen.
Not sure if I missed it but copper will tarnish quite quickly when exposed to skin oils. Were there any protectants coated on the finished product?
electroplating 🤫
Why did he burn the copper wire at the beginning?
Because i need soft Cooper With soft Material works easyer
It's called metal annealing, makes it more malleable
I was gonna ask this question myself. Now I know
Heating it makes it softer but then quenching it in water makes it hard again doesn’t it?? I would think it would stay softer if you let it air cool..
It takes out the spring and the material will hold it shape better
I don't know much about copper. Why are you heating it and quinching does that make it softer
Pleace Show in the komments (Yes )
linda pulseria, gostaria de saber qual produto usa na ponta da pulseira, parece um pó
That is Borax Natriumtetraborat

You mind polishing paste?
Its a Chrom Oxide Paste

Aplique uma camada de ketchup,deixe agir por alguns minutos depois lave em água corrente, fica limpo!!
Whats the purpose of all the heating?
Copper work hardens (gets hard as you work with it) heating and quickly quenching, ''softens'' the copper to make it easier to work with
It's called annealing... it releases any work hardening and makes the copper softer and more easily workable ..

How do you get the “bubble” out of the wire when you’re twisting it up? Does it just come out naturally? Also great video keep it up!
Im Streched the Wire and Twisted
That is a smal fail from me but not Bad .
Always stretch the wire first to remove kinks before they become a problem...not after.
