Forging a 15 minute Copper Cuff Bracelet

This is how I make copper bracelets from 4ga round copper wire.

Such a graceful and elegant bracelet!❤ Thank you for sharing your process!

[@michaeledwards5954]

Wow. Really enjoyed watching that. I'm an amateur blacksmith that has wanted to dabble a bit with copper, I'm keener than ever to have a go.

[@joshuathejeweler]

Go for it! I started out as a blacksmith. Make a few copper bracelets at a live demo event and I bet you’ll have customers wanting to buy them right away.

[@joshuathejeweler]

Thanks Carol, hope you give it a shot!

This is how jewelry making started !! Made by hand, forged your ancestors are surely smiling over you, thanks for the demonstration it’s a beautiful bracelet, that curve you added at the ends are what makes it stand out most.

Great work! What sort of blade do you use to cut the 5mm wire?

[@joshuathejeweler]

I use number 2 jeweler’s saw blades for thicker material like this. Actually I recently purchased a pair of heavy gauge wire shears that are much quicker than sawing.

where can I get that little hammer with the flat side you using at the bench. I need that for a project 'i'm working on Thanks

[@joshuathejeweler]

I believe you're referring to this hammer, it's one of my favorites: www.blacksmithsdepot.com/products/hammers.html/repousse-chasing-hammers/dinging-hammer.html. The one in the video is 200g.

@@joshuathejeweler Thanks cool

[@SwedishCowgirl7]

Where did you get your steel block that also holds your bench block?

[@joshuathejeweler]

If you’re in the US Otto Frei or Amazon has them. Search for bench pin with steel block.

I invented that curl about 15 years ago 😮 No worries, it's nice.

[@rhianalarsen1759]

Metalsmiths were doing that curl literally thousands of years ago.

[@angelg.s.1053]

Yeah? Show me pictures. I've never seen it before and neither have my instructors.
