Jewelry Making Techniques: Easy to MakeTubing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video, we are making tubing! It really isn't that difficult to make and being able to create your own will expand your repertoire of skills! You'll want to know how to make your own tubing if you make hinges, create tube rivets, make clasps and locking mechanisms, create end caps, make tube settings, and a variety of other things. Being able to custom make your own tubing will make you a more knowledgable and resourceful jeweler!
Finding the right size and thickness of tubing can be a daunting task, especially when you are trying to find telescoping tubing for hinges. Make your own quickly, save some dinero AND always have plenty on hand.I cover tube creation, tools used (and how to use them), shrinking tubing, and as a bonus, enlarging tubing. All in under 50 minutes! Amazing. So, come on in and learn something new today.

Thanks for continuing to make these videos. I find them entertaining and helpful and love a little wackyness. It just cheers me up. Happy jewelry making!
“You gotta love a motorized tool” LOL Thank you for leaving your struggles in-it gives me hope and helps me problem solve. Great video!
Thanks to you Mary Ann! The struggles are real!
Love your videos Nancy, I learn a lot and and you put a much needed smile on my face. I worked for a jeweler that made his own tool just like the one you made, I remember pulling many a piece of wire and tubing through that thing, it was a beast but it worked and did the job, homemade thingamajigys and refashioned tools are sometimes the best. looking forward to your next video and checking out yours when it's done.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are an amazing artist....but times that amazingness by 100 because you get more out of helping others to be better rather than being jealous or competitive that they may be better. Thank you again!
Love your personality & the education you give us!
Nice to see your latest tutorials Nancy, your work shop is decked out with so many cool tools.
Lots of Fun while not just learning techniques, but how the process could go for you. Very down to earth and straight forward.
In fact, I think the most important lesson is that, even when things don't necessarily go to plan, don't let it get to you. Learn and carry on. Thanks so much Nancy.
Thanks so much for sharing you’re so funny 😁😁😁 You had me on the speaking in tongues 😆😁🤣😂👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I hope to be back soon.👋👋👋👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
When I made my sterling tube from sheet, I didn't have that swage block thingie, so I took my sheet, & an unused drill bit (my improvised mandrel) and laid it on the sheet over the top of a vice I had opened up just a little larger than the size of the drill bit and hammered it all down into the gap between the two sides of the vise. I was surprised that it worked... that being said, I think I will look to making one of those swage blocks for future projects. 😂 Thank you for the lesson! You rock! 😃
I think I need to try the vise method. I have 2 pieces that I need an odd sized tubing for but I don't want to run out and buy new tools until I am sure I need them.
Thank you Nancy, I will try this 😘
I have missed your videos so MUCH!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and art! I made jewlery using lost wax method for years but started in high school fabricating things and now I'm old and have money, I'm cookin up all kinds of plans for book furniture and jewelry! I'm super glad I found your site! Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to collaborate with you on a piece!
Sounds amazing! Glad you found your way back. Have a blast!
Thanks so much for Sharon Nancy and I always love watching your videos. They’re so encouraging.😌👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
so geat to see this process!! Thank you solder girl!!
Nancy, you are too funny. I'm glad I stumbled across your tutorials!
I was going to say the draw plate needs to lock in, or the bench could have 90 degree angled add ins. If the draw plates had a little more blank space on each end, it wouldn't be necessary, unless of course, like you say, they ping out and wipe out the jeweller before they finish the piece.
I love your vibe and humour. So much fun to watch!
Thanks so much!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your draw bench ~ that doesn’t look to expensive to make ourselves either ~😎!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AAAAANNNDDD COMMENTARY (Captions)!!! IM LAUGHING AND LEARNING EXACTLY THE WAY I PREFER!!!
Great video! I learned a lot!
You are a master!

I like the draw bench as I'm not the strongest ever lol I liked your diy bench its what I imagined as a homemade one great video
Thank you for the video, I’m really looking forward to your draw bench kit.
Me too! Soon, I hope. Thanks

swaping out that hoop foor a triangle ring would help alot.. on youre draw bench.. or since you'rs had a hook.. a square ring.. you gt the idea you want an angle whre the toongs are to kep tension on the jaws so it wont slip off lik that.
😍💖the intro 😍💘
I need some of those fancy calipers!
Thanks for publishing this useful video 🙏🏼
My pleasure 😊
I think I may buy tubes😁
New subscriber too!!
Hi Nancy love watching your vedios. My Question for you is how do you bend a 3/4 inch of silver tubing . Just enough to give it a slight crove. Without it bending .
You look beautiful!
You are so inspiring, Nancy, and your humor keeps me going. Thanks so much for this and all your videos. I'm wondering if you ever created your drawbench kit that you mentioned in this video. I don't find it on your website. Thanks.
Alas, I need to do that too...The list is long and time is swift! Hopefully. Thanks for the reminder. I need to get on that!
Hi love watching your vedios. So my question is how can I slightly curve and a tube? I want to use it for a bail. I've tried but always collapses on me . Please help.😊💝
Hi Gabriela! Have you seen my video on making tubing? That may help. If you email me photos, I might be able to explain better. Email: asknancylthamilton@gmail.com. We'll see if we can figure this out! Thanks. th-cam.com/video/XFH9WeTQfHA/w-d-xo.html
Could you tell us who is making your much wider master forming swage block? I would like to have a wooden one made as well that has all the swage grooves as well as dapping holes in a much wider version that’s wooden.
Hi Nancy, do you remember where you bought that draw plate by any chance? I’ve looked all over for your kind with large holes and can only find cheap ones for pulling Viking knit work.
@nancy Hamilton Nancy, I am looking to give my 999 silver cable link chain a brushed Finish to dim it a bit and give it some texture. I'll be using a dremel, I'm gonna use a non woven scouring pad attachment could you recommend an ideal grit for the brushed look? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Thank you for posting this nice video(!). So, where did you find the aluminum bar for your draw plate....??
Are you talking about my draw bench aluminum (what it's constructed from) or the draw plate itself? The draw bench came with its aluminum U bar and the draw plates are steel. Most jewelry suppliers carry them. Thanks!
I remember using a wire draw plate for the first time at jewellery school. We were told how to stand and many still were flying across the room as the wire was releasing from the hole. lol
Whew!
I've been watching a number of videos that require annealing copper and have seen large bowl like things filled with some sort of pebbles that is used when you anneal. I cannot seem to find what these are called in order to search for them. I do see the charcoal blocks on your list but was looking for something a bit larger and more contained. Can lead me in the right direction? Many thanks- love your videos.

@@hela8693 Thank you so much.
Hello, what size metal should I cut for a 2mm tube?
Wow, I didn’t even realize this video was made two years ago. I’m way behind.😆😆😆🤣🤣😂🤣😅😅😁😁😁🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Clamp the draw plate into the draw bench!
Where can I get your wooden swege block?
A++ as always! Looking forward to buying your Draw Bench! Sending lots of Love from Arizona! xoxo @angelaksams
Please can you tell me what the name of that ruler with the round end is called? I have never seen one of those before 😮
I had the same question and found this protractor tool that looks like it on Amazon. Is this it Nancy? www.amazon.com/dp/B07L8YGTQ8/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07L8YGTQ8&pd_rd_w=xV3yh&pf_rd_p=f0355a48-7e73-489a-9590-564e12837b93&pd_rd_wg=J7ZX8&pf_rd_r=T4WPCWZY16G4MSK29RHT&pd_rd_r=9a1302c7-3a2e-48e7-865d-b50b2bd63761&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNEVYVUE1M1hSQURaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTkzMjcyMUtTMEVaV1RURzVNViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwODAzMjczWDdOQlUwTjNUWUNWJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
I have like a million pounds of stripped copper wire like from buildings. Is there anyway I can use that stuff to make jewelry and other things?
U missed out the hardest part of how to make tubing which is getting the seam tight and even the whole way through ! That’s the part i wanted to see lol
