- Learn to create the Spinner Bead and the Trapped Spinner Bead. They are fabulous beads for making necklaces or bracelets. Customize them in a zillion ways. I made mine with silver but, you could easily make them from any other metal. Easy to create and you don't even have to solder them (if you don't want to).
Thank you for watching. Subs and a thumbs-up are always appreciated! (Don't forget to turn on notifications so that you know when I've uploaded new videos).
May thanks to Julia Monroe for the information about the tool I didn't know about (a rare and beautiful thing). She said it is a sprue maker for delt clay casting. Thanks, Julia!

To me, affiliate links are a way for the seller, of a product, to say thank you to the person (me) who tries or has experience with their product, likes it, and tells others about it.

All you are doing is getting a great product and helping a starving (yet, still fluffy) artist continue to provide this free service! Without your support, I would not be able to create these videos. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thank you so much for mentioning the plumb bob. I’ve been pouting for months over how much a small cone-shaped mandrel costs, and now I found a plumb bob for $7! I absolutely believe that having the right tool for the job is worth investment, but when a cheaper tool will do just as well there’s no sense spending five times as much- especially with silver prices where they are right now! Holy crap! Thanks again. I’ve stopped calling myself “entirely self taught” because the truth is people like you are the reason I’ve figured out as much as I have. Thank you for that, seriously.
My wife would Love a matching necklace and bangle in this style / type. Thanks Nancy.
I don't make jewellery (yet!) I just love watching these videos.
Wow, thank you Betty! Have fun!
Thank you for another wonderful and fun video. Not a jeweler myself but love to watch people share their craft!!! Thanks again.
Thanks for joining me!
I drop things too, lots! Sometimes things just fling right out of my hand all on their own ;)
I' just beginning my jewellery making journey and wanted to thank you, I'm absolutely in awe of how much of your knowledge you give freely. Much love from England.
Nancy I gotta tell you girlfriend, I love you! I love your work! And I really love your videos!!! I am 100% self taught silversmith and most of what I learned was from watching your videos!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful personality!!!
Wow, what a nice post! Thank you so much. You made my day.
I am glad to hear it because you make my day every time I watch one of your videos ❤😁
Those beads are really unique and I like them a lot. I'm a lampworker and I'm learning silversmithing.... your beads and funky lampwork beads will go real well together. THANK YOU.
I bet! Hope I get to see the children of that marriage!
Just what I needed this morning. Was not in a great frame of mind but the beginning of the video made me laugh right out loud. Changed my whole perspective. Thank you. Another wonderful video. Thanx so much for sharing and teaching us. I appreciate you!!!!! Can't wait for the magnetic clasp video. I definitely want to learn that.
Thanks Terry! Glad that laughter hit you over the head today! Laughing is one of my favorite sports because I always feel better afterward and it requires very little physical effort! Ha.
Thanks for the video!
Great video Nancy! I love your personality and your willingness to share ideas. Thank you!
Thank you David! So kind.
Have to giggle when you drop stuff! I said to myself.... LOOK! It even happens to Nancy LT! I can’t tell you how many times each day I’m crawling around on the floor. Thanks for the spinner bead video. I just made my first spinner ring so now a bracelet with spinner beads!
Hope you've made the bracelet! I love gravity - most of the time - but, it often irritates the hell out of me! Glad I'm not alone. Thank you!
I am already making spinner rings, never thought of spinner beads! Thanks for the idea!!
Thank you!
I love your style!
Looking forward to the clasp video, especially! Thanks!
Me too! Getting there...Thanks.
Me, too!
i miss you nancy! i love a spinner ring & never thought of making a spinner bead. so beautiful. i love your videos. thank you for inspiring me & making me laugh🙃
Thank you Irena!
The third tool you showed is a sprew maker when casting in delft clay Nancy.
Thank you!!!!! Appreciate the information. I'll put it in the video description!
Nancy Hamilton what a pleasure to tell you something.....you have told me SO MANY SOMETHINGS over the years! 😃
@@juliamonroe5536 Just posted a thank you to you in the description. I love finding new tools - especially ones I own! I've been doing some delft casting and that tool, now that I know what it is will be very helpful. This is why I tell people to not buy tools until they know what to do with them! But, I never listen to my own advice. Haha! Thanks again
Nancy Hamilton It works really well when casting in cuttlefish bone too! 😄
Cool beads! Thank you.
Thank you SuElyn!
Thank you 😊
😂😂😂我爱这些片头画面❤开启快乐的一天🎉感谢您精心制作的每一条视频👍
I love that! Great idea to using my scrap metal too
Nancy, you are an absolute delight, thank you for being so helpful towards us, jewelry enthusiasts. Also so uplifting in these trying times. Which state are you from? Do you offer classes or courses?
I'm in California and I occasionally teach at Chimera Arts in Sebastopol, CA. In fact, I have a class coming up this weekend on making basket settings. At Chimera, we also offer other classes with different teachers, in jewelry making, and a host of other crafts. www.chimeraarts.org/ Thank you!
Hey girl, love your videos! My favorite on this video is the Hybrid, I really like the complete fold over look.......and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with "dropsy"! Do you ever have to pick splinters of wire out of your feet? I know barefoot in the studio isn't a wise idea, but I've been barefoot for 64 years, so I don't see that changing any time soon.....
Always fun and educational! I love watching your videos, ESPECIALLY when you drop things because I do the same thing! Can't seem to hang on to a darn thing! Looking forward to making some beads! Thank you for sharing your expertise and brainstorms!
Damn gravity! Haha. Glad I'm not alone out there. Thanks!
Really enjoyed the photo montage!
Thanks. They make me cringe. Next time it might be my trip to Mexico! Appreciate the comment!!!
I've ALWAYS wanted to know how to make these!!!! Thank you so very much for your time!!!
Thank you!
NLT = Real /Cool
Hey Nancy, thanks for this (and other) wonderful videos. Love them and your presentation! I have a question about adding these beautiful beads to a bangle. Once the beads are applied to the bangle and the bangle is soldered closed, how do you confirm the round shape of the bangle on a mandrel? Do you have a video on this? Thanks again!
Thank you, Nancy! So much fun!!! @angelaksams
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing and keeping it real! 🤣❤️
Me like🤩 thanks
I really enjoy your videos. what metal was the tubing?
Sterling silver. But, they could be made with Fine silver, Argentium silver, brass, bronze, copper, even steel. Anything that will take silver or gold solder. Have fun!
I love your tutorials Nancy and this is a really fun one. I've been wanting to know how to make something like this. Thanks so much for continuing to share your knowledge.
I have non metalsmith question for you about how you shoot your videos. My mom is a colored pencil artist and wants to make videos of her techniques. Do you use a cell phone and do you always have an assistant? If you don't have an assistant, how do you mount it for the point of view? I sent her a link to your videos and told her she needs to come up with a fun intro like yours and she loves your personality.
You are so funny! I wish you lived next door to me....we would have a blast.
