My wife has been making very similar bracelets for the past few months. We demo'ed out an old refrigeration system on the boat we live on, and she couldn't stand to throw away all the old copper refrigerant lines. She ended up making beautiful bracelets from scrap. That first one you did with the folded edges is a new direction for her...
WhaleOilBeefHooked Main Just film yourself then replay at fast speed and you will see how fast your hammer action will have become, and with plenty of practice you won’t need to film yourself, lol 😂
Beautiful bracelets - and I love how you showed the whole process by speeding the video up substantially after demonstrating the technique at a normal pace! I love all the variations, too, and can think of plenty more I'm going to try.
Im not an expert, but to get a better fit around the wrist, you should heat it red hot and wrap it around the wrist. That way, you are guaranteed to get a perfect fit.
I found this video looking up copper pipe bracelet making. I made a door pull from a copper pipe for my screen door. It was a whole lot of fun and a gob of work, but I loved the process and the result. After watching your video, I looked through your list of videos dating back to 7 years ago and all I can say is wow! You have amazing talent. Needless to say, I just had to subscribe. It would be nice to see a tips and tricks video for someone just starting out. I'd like to make some metal hangers for garden tools for the chicken coop, but I live on the coast where the salt air is horrible when it comes to rust. I thought maybe copper pipe might work, but it might be too weak. Anyhow, thank you so very much for sharing your incredibly beautiful art!!!
Man you always come up with the coolest stuff. Truthfully, I go through my subscription list on a daily basis and just click to open a new tab on everything, so I didn't see the title until the video was over, so I had no idea until you started to curve the bracelet what it actually was. This was super cool. Kudos!
look up annealing. but basically continuous hammering makes the copper harden internally and it'll eventually become brittle and chip *work hardening*. heating and cooling softens the copper so you can continue to hammer it. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but brass works the same way as copper?
Great work, and the bracelets turned out fantastic. Have you or any of your viewers figured out how to keep cooper from turning our skin green? Are there any other tips besides coating the inside with clear fingernail polish, etc.?
Beautiful!..I made a few copper bracelets but I live in an apt so i had to make it apt friendly..no fire...hammering done when neighbors weren't home..I'm still at it ♡ love your style
Ik its been three years but im getting into ring making and bracelets, do I need to coat it with anything? Will it stain skin or tarnish if its just bare copper?
Ball-Peen Hammer Torch Bench Vise Anvil Rubber Mallet Calipers Chisel Jar of Water Vice-Grips (Needle Nose) Steel Wool File And some other kind of hammer that I've seen a lot of, but have never known the proper name for. I think that's covered it. Though, you could pretty much pull this off with basic pliers and a random hammer. The finer details, such as the folding, would be a tad more difficult. And, it's may prove difficult to file, without a file. But, if you have a basic pair of pliers and a hammer, I expect that you may have some other basic tools, and if you are able to think "outside of the box", you could come up with your own detailing solutions.
I have been in lockdown since March 2020, and this video and others have kept me sane! Made some great Xmas presents from this and other short films. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

I made my own the day before. One now on wrists and ankles. I suffer dibilitating pain daily I will let you know. As yet worn them for 24 hours with no reduction in pain whatsoever 😣 I will continue wearing for 1 month I'll update you if you wish 🙏
@@user-rn6hz8pb9s None at all sorry I totally forgot to update...Had them on daily...Severe pain slight difference not noticeable with my pain levels. Strangely It stopped me controlling my dreams which was very strange...

Beautiful work, and a lot of hand sacrifice, congratulations, really nice!!! Would like to know the name of that metal point block you used where you hammered the copper?
Wow! You made it look so easy! Unfortunately I can but drool, as I don't have the muscle, the anvil or the torch!! Lol I really love your simple design, and they all look really cool. Reminds me of something from Elizabethan England! 🌸💖😊
I respect that you leave comments in support of the author! I will be glad if you rate my videos! In one of the videos, I made gold earrings out of ordinary coffee beans!
That's cool!👍 I've never done inlay so I don't know if it's doable but if it is, turquoise or abalone inlay would probably look great as would flame painting. I can't wait to make this bracelet although I will have to improvise since I don't have either a vise or a nice big anvil. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I'm sending my hubby on a scouting mission at a scrap yard to find a piece of railroad track or something to help me try this. He's a retired plumber so we have pipe pieces every where.
Awesome video… I’m going to have a go! Can I ask.. what is the tool called that you hammered along the scribed line to help it fold… some kind of straight edge punch??
Did you make the biggest cuff with copper sheet? I love it I want to know the gauge for it and if it's sheet of C. I'm taking a class now on soldering and we are working on copper can't wait to make that thanks!

Nice job I watch them do this in southern Chile right beside the copper mines 50 years ago it's the art it's not forgotten by people like you
Totally saved Christmas for me, brother! Thank you!!! I made 9 of them this afternoon. Thank you, again!!!
Okie Family those 9 you gave as xmas gifts, did anyone ask for a return receipt?
Sure
😂🤣😂🤣😂Tramp
@@johnnydanger1305 🤣🤣
Let me know what you think about this kind of easier project!
Maybe once in a while it's cool to make something that many of you can make aswell.
I like this
Nice
Did you make that for your daughter?
I really like this!
I could do that... But who should wear it?
Periodically heating it up with a torch until it's red hot is a crucial step. Annealing the copper makes it soft and pounding it out hardens it again.
Is that just water his quenching it in, or oil?
good to know, thankyou
@@clayapreston5641 Typically it's just water.
Water
Get a real hammer and save the gas. Worked copper for years and you are wearing yourself out with that tack hammer

Northern Woodsman makes sense
@@will7919 well yeah, you wouldn't want a bracelet that falls off. ;)
I trusted you!
@@RB-er6gu Wooosh
Then apply this technique :-)
I have made a few very simple copper bracelets by hammering the daylights out of copper wire. Thank you for ideas and demonstrations.
Finally!! A cool project I actually have the ability to make. Keep em coming

Love it! To add a bit of contrast you could also run a bead of solder in the center section.
This is so cool Gader! Watching the colours change as you hear the copper was totally mesmerising!
I loved the hammering...cracked me up. Great ideas, you're a talent! Thank you!
😍😍😍😍😍😍 it is good copper maker
Ven a Chile hermano...Aquí sí que hay cobre. Excelente trabajo...Bendiciones y gracias por compartir😊
Thank you for the massage, I really enjoyed it.
Also, I'm from the future; we need this in 2020.
Very nicely done. I like the use of the hammer and chisel for texturing.

Surprisingly nice result mate. A little touch of black enamel paint in the centre to weather it/darken it would work wonders.
I like occasional easy metal projects. I’d don’t yet do any metal work, so it’ll be a good starting project. What does the heating and cooling do?
Please read the description.

Copper becomes softer by quenching it, the opposite way of steel

Now why would someone give this a thumbs down? That was great.

That was really cool! Nice to see all those different styles as well! Excellent work.
What a very cool use for scrap copper. Hell, I don't even need to stay at a Holiday Inn to know how to do this. Great video!
Someone is after brownie points😂😂, these are great Christmas gifts. Was great to show the different versions too. 👊👊👊
Watching this being flattened is very satisfying!!
I've been making bracelets this way for a good while, it's such a great way of doing it!
Ik its been three years but im getting into ring making and bracelets, do I need to coat it with anything? Will it stain skin or tarnish if its just bare copper?
Man with a good nomadic hammer, furnace and anvil set up. You could crank these puppy's out like hot cakes.

@@truckertriesfarming9792 the hammer with the flat end is called a cross peen, if that is what you are referring to.

Wowow this vid was freaking dope! Thanks for making my night with this one ☝🏾. Great work there. Super awesome.
What is copper coated with to keep it from tarnishing?
That’s a great project! They looked awesome and simple. Thanks for showing your other versions. It’s on my todo list now 😀
Really neat! Is there a reason why you do the initial flattening before heat treatment?
Thanks
Mal
That vid sure arrived on spot for christmas season and all (us) those husbands out there who don't have anything for the wife yet...
Because of this video I just found a new hobby; thank you very much!
I have made several copper crosses and added patina to them but this is really a cool idea, thanks.
Beautiful work. What are the anvil and hammer?
Respect for leaving a comment to the author. I would be grateful if you look at my content and rate it. In one of the videos, I made a gold case for a Zippo lighter.
I wonder if there really is any truth about copper, or other elements, helping with aches and pains or even healing? Just an honest question.

oooh pretty, Just curious, did you divide it into quarters, to get the fold line? also how long was the pipe, Awesome job man!
He done it in fifths or so, otherwise there wouldn't have been the gap in the middle
I dig it. I'm going to give it a try! Thanks man.
progetto semplice e bello, complimenti.
TheRyuk72 concordo; il risultato è stranamente e semplicemente complesso, ed è anche abbastanza semplice da fare

Inspiringly simple with elegant results .
I was asking why you quenched it, then I've read the description.
It's really cool. I would customize it engraving my name.
I wear mine faithfully. Great benefits. Awesome video, thank you. 😊
That was easy??
I had no idea that a simple copper bracelet required that much effort!
Beautiful work, and a lot of hand sacrifice, congratulations, really nice!!! Would like to know the name of that metal point block you used where you hammered the copper?
Anvil
What were the multiple heating processes for?
to remove the stress from hammering, when u hammer copper or gold or something simular it gets brittle and breaks easier
It's explained in video description
LOOKS GREAT, THANKS.🇺🇸✌️👍🏻
That's very nice! Thanks for making this video, I'm looking forward to make my own bracelets :)
I did this and then saw your video! I love the folded edge, going to try that next time
make a pipe from a copper braclet
@COD BL4CK0P3R4T1V3 =))))))))))
For real he could
“Easy”
Lol funny but its actually quite easy to do im a goldsmith and make regulary pipe chanier from metal
All the plumbing in my house is from recycled bracelets!
Wowser wowser. Fantastical. Thank you for posting this. Greetings from Indianapolis Indiana
Would have been cool to put copper pennies in the middle
Wire Works Yes, use coin inlays
Pennies are not made of copper now, they are zinc with copper plating. You would need very old pennies.
Have tried putting a penny through a rolling mill?
Awesome!
that really was easy, and well made! Good Job!
Cool idea Bro 🤘 I like it
That is exactly what I do except for I did learn a few new tricks. One big one being the scribing before folding. Thx
Your hands, at the place of wearing the bracelet, will have characteristic dark bands, from copper oxidation!
That's part of the style
Yeah I love the dark patches on my wrist, and the smell. Good for my joints too.
unless you clear coat it
You can put a clear coat on it or rub some Johnson's paste wax in it to help minimize that.
I like copper and it's a good conducting metal. Make your creations with love it enhances the beauty and value.
You don't need to anneal it. I do this a lot and sell a lot of them on etsy. Never once annealed one
Ok but he does god there are to many critics on here,everyone has their own way of doing things and hes just show his way,and u have ur way
An I have one too
So neat.what size of copper tubing
You should open a Etsy store selling these 😂
Loved this project. Youve inspired me! I had surgery and im out of work for a few months . I’ll definitely be doing this
Nice job. Might turn your wrists green lol.

Beautiful work! I am trying to figure out what length to cut. Thanks for sharing!!!!
This gives me a better appreciation to copper handmade bracelets
Love this project. Going to do one tomorrow with copper tubing alone then add 1/2 round silver in the middle and see what we see😄
Están muy bien pero, ¿el cobre mancha la piel? Saludos desde Honduras.
What will you use so that copper does’t corrode over time?
Can be plated with silver or other electroplating.
Veeerrrrry good work; how I wish I had a work shop to create works like this.
I've finally made this today, and it looks and feel awesome!!! ❤️🔥😎
It's satisfying to watch you do it on high speed :)
This is great! Thank you! What do I use to cut the copper tubing from the coil? Do I need to anneal before cutting off the piece that I need? Thx 🤩
Very nice. I may try using 14 to 12 gauge copper wire along both edges to form beads . Thanks man!
