Making CELTIC Copper CUFF Bracelet

- In this video I am making a Celtic style Copper Cuff Bracelet from a power Cable.
The process on how to make a Celtic Copper Cuff from a power Cable:
I had an old, used power cable that previously had been buried in soil.
I started by stripping the cable, so only the pure copper wires were left. Then I braid a cuff bracelet in Celtic Viking pattern, which I - after heating it - shaped it with a rubber mallet. I were a little wary of this process because the copper wires should end up having a uniform pattern all the way around.
Then I sanded it quite lightly with a hand file - the copper wires gets a slightly square shape by doing that.
When the bracelet were tapped in the right shape and the ends were fused together, I bent it so that it fits my wrist.
I used some of the molten copper to make a nameplate, which I emboss letters in (MP as My Projects) and I subsequently melted the plate on the Cuff Bracelet.
Then I sanded the Celtic Cuff with a multi-grinder - and I polished it - which made it great looking.
I'm pretty happy with the result - I like the rustic Celtic, Viking - I think it' came out to be a quite masculine Copper Cuff Bracelet.
Please give me your feedback in the comment section - it is very nice and important to hear you out, to make new great videos in the near future.

Great work
Thanks..! 👍😊
Only pitfall to copper or even bronze is that it turns your skin green especially with any sweat. Copper looks so damn good though!
Yes - you are absolutely right - and thank you for your feedback. I treat my finished copper jewelry with transparent, allergy-friendly lacquer for the purpose - then I avoid both the green discoloration on the skin and I don't have to polish the copper jewelry every now and then. I think it works well.
Will definitely give it a try. thanks very much. Twelve strands and people prefer the look. The axe handle works well, got to get one.
Thanks a lot 😊 👍
@@my-projects This is the best looking and very easy to do. Did one this morning, soldered ends and ground smooth.
Thanks again.
@@tribulationcoming I'm really happy that you made one yourself - thanks again for your interest and feedback 👍
Looks like bracelets from Vilings series.
Awesome!

Thank you 😊
AMAZIN WORK
Thanks a lot 😉👍
Impresionante tu trabajo amigo felicidades👍👍👍
Muchas gracias 👍 Realmente aprecio tus comentarios 👍👍
Great job I will definitely make this,When soldering end pieces do yours any solder or does the copper solder to itself
Thanks😊👍 I use solder paste - flux with Micro metal in.
Parabéns amei ❤️
Muito obrigado pelo seu simpático comentário 😊❤️
Um lindo trabalho
Muito obrigado
Que belleza! ❤️
Muito obrigado - 😊 estou muito honrado 😀 ❤️
Amazing
Thanks..! 😉👍
Caraca muito TOP !!! Aqui no Brasil pra fazer uma dessa vão cobrar uma fortuna!!! Mais parabéns pelo seu trabalho.
Muito obrigado, Fabio 👌- sim, também aqui na Dinamarca - é por isso que eu mesmo fiz 😊👍
👍💙💯..Absolutely beautiful results!!
I just recently started working with the inner (14 gauge) copper from electrical wiring also..and my question is: is there a particular reason you torch the copper all over? Is there a coating on this wire I should be removing?
Thank you very much for your great feedback - no, there is no coating that you have to remove, but when you work with the copper, e.g. if you bend it or knock on it, tensions will appear in the copper, which will make it harder and harder to work with. but if you heat it, it becomes soft again.
@my-projects 👍..Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
I appreciate the advice, as I'm still new to working with copper. Thanks again 👍
What was the solder used? Was it just the white liquid as i saw no other material? Cheers
I use solder paste - flux with micro metal in. 👍
Pekná práca...
Vďaka 👍
Very nice
Thanks a lot 😊👍
Straight skills
Thank you very much 😊👍
Nice. Is there anything that can be put on it, to stop the copper tarnishing, but keep the copper colour?
I turn copper green, and it makes a right mess
Thanks a lot 👍 Yes - I use a pruduct like ProtectaClear to cover my Copper and brass jewelry - my experience is, that it is both a skin safe and anti-tarnish clear coating, that will protect your jewelry from oxidation and fading. You can off cause use some other laquer product that have the same effect. 😉👍
@@my-projects Magic, thanks, I'll look into it.

Love the happy hippo for quenching. Cute!
Thanks 👍
love it
Thanks..! 😊👍
hay quá, cám ơn anh trai!
Cảm ơn rất nhiều
Great
Thanks..! 😊👍
Magnifique
Thanks you 😉👍
nice
Thanks..👍
Muy Bella
Thank you 😊👍
nice thanks man
Cheers, Joe 👌😄
Love it!
Do you surface treat the bracelet to avoid tarnishing and green stains on skin?
I didnt reailze you could fuse without solder...i Wonder if thats a temperature issue 🤔
Thanks..! 😊👍
Yes - I surface treat with Zaponlak. It is slow drying, let it dry for 4-6 hours before using the bracelet cuff.
No, I can't fuse without solder either - I use solder paste. 👍
@@my-projects ahhh!! Very cool.
Thanks for the tips.
Do you use silver solder paste on copper?
I sometimes use silver solder paste when I solder on the inside (it is cheaper 👍), but for visible solders on copper I use copper solder paste 😊
What gauge was the cable?
Incredible work btw!!!
THANKS..! I use gauge 12 ;-)
Thanks! One more questions.
Why do you keep heating it up?
I heat the copper wire occasionally because when I work on the copper wire - either by tapping or bending the copper wire, it gets harder and harder to work with - but after it is heated again, it softens a bit.
Perfeita💜💜💜💜💜💜💜quanto é a pulseira?
Muito obrigado. Infelizmente, a pulseira nao esta a venda - fiz para o meu cunhado. 😉👍
What did you paint on the copper to solder the plate on? Great results btw I hope I get to this level one day
Thanks a lot 👍 I use solder paste - which melts when heated and connects the plate to the bracelet 😊
@@my-projects oi mate, amazing work! I haven't heard of this solder paste, it's like glue?
do you know any cheaper alternatives lad?
Alright great job. But are you selling bracelets?
Thanks a lot 👍- no unfortunatly not.
Hallo, schönes Video und toller Armreif. Ich hätte da nur eine Frage: Für was wird das Kupfer immer erhitzt und dann in acid oder so, "eingelegt"?
Gruß Boris
Hallo Boris,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse. Ich erhitze das Kupfer, weil es hart wird, wenn ich damit arbeite - zum Beispiel wenn ich die Kupferdrähte flechte. Dann ist es schwer zu formen und wenn man es dann bis zur Glühtemperatur erhitzt, wird es wieder weich. Aber es sieht auch schwarz und „verbrannt“ aus - deshalb habe ich es in eine Säuremischung gelegt, um die Verfärbung zu entfernen.
@@my-projects ah, danke für die Info.
What type of solder are you using, hard, medium, easy, extra easy?
Hi Lee, I use my own mix of flux paste and solder material (small element copper solder) There are several Fluss pastes that can be used (eg Brazetec, LA -CO, Harris etc.)
What did you use to solder the ends on, or did you fuse them?
Thanks for your time 👍 I use Flux paste - which melts when heated and connects the ends to the bracelet 😊
Thank you for asking this question! I was going to ask but you already did.
@@my-projects Thank you for this tutorial! I have been watching it over and over again. I am going to give it a go within the next month! 😊
What type of gloves do you use?
Hey misterkadebce - I use Nitrile powder free gloves 👍
Can you tell me what the white paste stuff you use on the end is?
Yes, I use solder paste - a combination of a powder made up of metal solder particles and sticky flux that has the consistency of putty. The flux not only does its usual job of cleaning the soldering surfaces of impurities and oxidation, but it also provides a temporary adhesive that holds the surface mount components in place. And its easy to use 😉👍
I WANT TO PURCHASE THAT HIPPO WHERE CAN I GET ONE
I really dont know - I got it as a present 😊😀
Formidable
Thanks a lot mokhtar👍
素敵💓
Thanks 🥰👍
Did you use solder or just melt the nameplate to the cuff
I used solder to fasten the nameplate..👍😊
Will you make a mold of your hippo and may I buy it ?
The hippo is a previous gift from a friend - maybe it will be one of my future projects and then I'll get back to you. Thank you very much for your interest :)
Do you have a brand for the Flux paste?
Yes - I use BrazeTec paste 😉👍
Use a cljpboard for a vise. Then you have something solid to weave against
That sounds like a good solution - I appreciate that 👍😉
❤
Alguém poderia informar como é feito essa solda na pulseira de arame de cobre...
OBRIGADO!!!!
Sim - Obrigado pelo seu tempo 👍 Eu uso pasta Flux - que derrete quando aquecida e conecta as pontas à pulseira 😊
@@my-projects OBRIGADO!!!!!
Isso vai me ajudar muito...
@@bambubambu1234 De nada..😀
Bonjour merci pour votre partage de savoir. Une question à la 3eme minutes vous utilisez une Cole blanche , pourriez vous communiquer le nom du produit en question ? Merci par avance
Bonjour - Merci pour votre commentaire. J'utilise mon propre mélange de pâte de flux et de matériau de soudure (soit de la soudure à l'argent, soit de la soudure au cuivre en petits éléments) Il existe plusieurs pâtes Fluss qui peuvent être utilisées (par exemple Brazetec, LA-CO, Harris, etc.)
@@my-projects merci beaucoup pour avoir pris le temps de m répondre
@@cris-ci8fs Vous êtes toujours la bienvenue 👍
Just one more question what size is your metal stamps
Thanks for your question 👍 the size of the metal stamps is 3 mm.😉
Bonjour,s'il vous plaît j'ai une question sur le produit blanc?
Hi moktar - J'utilise mon propre mélange de pâte de flux et de matériau de soudure (soudure au cuivre à petit élément) Il existe plusieurs pâtes Fluss qui peuvent être utilisées (par exemple Brazetec, LA -CO, Harris, etc.) 👍

Hola, me puedes dar las proporciones de ácido y de agua. Por favor
Sí, por supuesto, es ácido sulfúrico al 14%, muchas gracias por su interés.😊❤️
O que isso que ele usa pra colar?
Você quer dizer o que eu uso para soldar as pontas?
What is this cable called and what gauge is the copper wire being used?
The wire is 5x2,5mm - outdoor electrical installation cable👍
What´s the caliber for that wire?
The wire is 5x2,5mm 👍
Where to purchase?
It’s unfortunatly not for sale 😊👍
More detail needed, wire gauge used, looks like acid solution and another was used
Thank you very much for your feedback - I use light sulfuric acid and 1.65mm wire.👍😉
O my was that torch on !?
Yes 😉👍
What gauge is that wire
It’s 5x2,5 mm wire 👍
That’s all right you know what I meant
А СК, СТОИТ БРОСЛЕТ, МОЖНО ЗАКАЗАТ?
Большое спасибо - к сожалению нет 😊👍
👍👍👍👑👑
Thanks...!! 👍
BTW. Soldering is not needed, you can just wrap the ends with same wire.
Thanks Joonas - yes I tried that first but It did not work 😉👍
In slow motion. 😆😆😆
Ha, ha - yes you're right 😆👍
Lol. The celtic tribe are famed for their reuse of 3core cabling😂
Yeahh - 🤪
Great work process 👍
