Yes copper and silver look really good together. Thank you!
😭😭 thank you for existing!! Its so hard to find this sort of explanation style anymore- when its just, like, just explaining like u were just hanging out with someone in person 😭 it makes it so much easier to feel like im part of a bigger community as opposed to the videos that sacrifice quality for the sake of 'the algorithm, or the ones that are just kind of ads for craft stores n such, if that makes sense 😅
@@1star_god thank you so much!!! Your comment makes me feel so much better about an online/live class I’ll be teaching this Fall.😀
Just fantastic as always, love the tips they are amazing. You are so creative. Love the silver and copper together looks great.
Thank you, I really liked the look of the two together as well. Was just looking at them yesterday thinking time to finish that bolo tie!
Love the mixed metals - beautiful!🩷
Thank you! I thought they came out really pretty with the mixed metals too.
This is excellent. I love that you're not using a template (or whatever)----- I wing it with copper also, such a great construction/prototype tool. I'm getting ready to make my second bolo. The first was with crappy purchased cones. This video gives me the confidence to make my own. Thank you!
Yay!!! You can definitely do it. They really are fun to make and kind of relaxing with the hammering.
This is a great tutorial to watch 😊
Thank you so much!😊
Kool!
It's hand made!
Awesome demo! Thank you! Where do you source your bolo cord from?
I get cords from either: RioGrande, Springfield Leather company or Endless leather out of Germany.
Thank you so much for this video. I tried recently to make some of these, just winging it and my seams went wonky. Theyre harder to make than I thought! If you wanted to bring the very top to a fine almost point what kind of thing could be used as a sort of mini mandrel? I have the forming block and that’s what I used to make mine but I was wishing I had something to use to sort of firm them around that came to a fine point.
They are a bit tricky. There is a tiny mandrel that could be used to help. I was trying to find mine to show but it has gone missing, one reason this studio needs a deep clean.😂
@@amuckdesign Omg I know EXACTLY what you mean!!! I’m always losing my little tools!! All the time!
@@amuckdesign I was thinking of trying a dental pick next time but the taper is not long and gradual
@@Shukarr ha!!! Glad I’m not alone.
I blame shop Gremlins 😂
