Wow, love this think I’ve got a copper tube downstairs think I will give this a shot but have to get the bearings. Thanks Nick for the great idea, always up for a fantastic project!
cheers Wanda, copper tubing is easy to come across however finding bronze ball bearings was a lot harder to find but eventually came across maccmodels.co.uk where I purchased them from … N
thanks cheeky monkey, not easy choosing the music, reggae is not everyone’s cup of tea, eventually came to the conclusion if I like it then i’ll use it … N
For those whos skin my turn green ans dont want a copper patina Try using UV resin on your copper jewelry coat a few thin layers of uv resin over the copper jewelry it keeps that beautiful copper color and it doesnt turn you skin green. This will last a very long time I have a ring that I coated in UV resin never turned my skin green kept its color and its been aprox 7 yrs now still going good
thanks for that unknown, always good to read new tips and tricks that I’ve not come across before. UV resin being a modern product is probably much more superior than the old-fashioned beeswax treatment … cheers for that … Nick.
Hace muchísimos años la cultura hippie hacía bonitos similares brazeletes de cobre,el plus era que eran grabados en alto relieve con orlas romanas griegas ojalá volvieran...!!!
hi Lisa, i’ve made a few bracelets out of 6mm silver tube, in my next video I was going to show how i make silver balls for finishing ends. The balls attached to the old silver cuff in this video are 8.5 mm diameter … have fun … Nick
Thanks for that Nicole, I’ve always made stuff, I think it comes from spending lots of time with my dad in the shed when I was a Young. However I’m not so good with a pen and paper, thank goodness for modern digital literacy … All the best … Nick
Hi Ha Ha, The tool I’m using is a cheap plumbers pipe cutter, I broke one of these before by being a bit over enthusiastic with it. so I’m not sure if it would cut through solid wire maybe if you were gentle and slow with it. I suppose it would give you a nice straight scoreline that you could use to finish cutting with a saw blade … Nick
Hi Lee, I eventually found mine through a bearing supply company in Bristol UK. it was a long time ago but I’ll have a look to see if I can find their name … Nick
The supplier I used don’t exist anymore but this company have them at a reasonable price, never use them before but look good. … maccmodels.co.uk … hope this helps … Nick
Thanks for that Monty, i’m the same I can’t stand wearing copper. I think I can taste it through my skin, reminds me of the flavour of sucking a penny … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff Right on the taste thing...funky. I wonder if enameling one side would fix the green problem. I've tried tape and polish. They don't last.
some folky types don’t mind the green look they say it helps with arthritis. i’ve often wondered if some sort of DIY silver plating on one side would work if possible to achieve … cheers Monty … Nick
@@montystewart8467 Try UV Resin put a thin coating over the copper it shouls take care of the green problem and the taste resin will last for a very long time it's much better then anything I've used I've had a copper ring I used uv resin on its been 7 yrs still going good... hopefully this tip will help 😊
98% of the so called copper bracelet people have got it wrong. All you have to do is use metal open "ring" copper wire or flat aluminum/Brass strip with overlapping end edges that don't touch, by your means. It's not rocket science. The resulting spiral acts as an antenna that concentrates weak high frequency energies that energizes live cells within the open enclosure area. You can also look up the old research. My old dog had #10 gauge bare copper wire spiral on neck with 1 1/4 " overlap and tiny plastic block separator + good tape. This was tested 2 times 3 months apart. Each time, the next day the beagle went nuts full of energy, waiting to get out of kennel and RUN. His neck arthritis seemed to be better. There is no BIAS - an animal or plant can't say - Gee I think I feel better! It either works or it doesn't on them. Lakhovski put passive ring spiral on potted plants with cancer. They flourished with the lump that dropped off into pot. The control plants died. Like I said check out the old references for yourself . The active type unit was electrically battery operated vibrator hooked to ignition coil to 2 special flat spiral antennas that subject sets in between with no metal on person. Modern MWO Multi Wave Oscillator versions are expensive. After several people with facial cancer were healed, US sent Lakhovski back to Europe from the NY city office in 1950. (no prescription drugs were used) Clement was his assistant that published the pamphlet The Waves That heal.////,,,
Hi jimphubar, thanks for the offer, being a self confessed tooloholic I appreciate the access I have to a large professional wood and metal workshop in Bristol where I’m employed by firewok.co.uk I also feel privileged at home to have a double garage as a hobby Workshop to dabble and play in to my hearts content… Cheers Nick.

Hi Submarinista, strange how things coming in and out of fashion over the years. I remember copper bracelets with etched Celtic not designs. … N

These are great and I just happen to have a tube of sterling in 6mm. What size ball do you use at the ends. Thanks !

Would that cutter work on thick wire?

Hey, Nick, your videos are great. One question: where would I buy bronze ball-bearings?
Hi Lee, I eventually found mine through a bearing supply company in Bristol UK. it was a long time ago but I’ll have a look to see if I can find their name … Nick

@@Nickscreativestuff Thanks for the quick reply. My search begins!
Nice one, good luck with it … N
Minimal style winner. Wish my skin wouldn't turn green from copper. Love them both!

You can seal it with acrylic spray sealer...clear nail polish ...even 2 part resin...or spray polyurethane ..all keep copper from tarnishing also
