Corkscrew copper wire bracelet - Flatwearable Artisan Jewelry

[@lindaherd8479]

This is a great tutorial. Suzanne is very good explaining what she is doing and why, not just how. This corkscrew design is really cool, too. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I'm very happy I found you while trolling KZbin!

[@pauladeleon8673]

Excellent Tutorial resulting in a beautifully designed, heirloom quality bracelet . You have a gift for teaching and I am grateful to you for sharing it. I enjoy your straight forward, clear & concise, yet thorough instructions. This tutorial also taught me new information about cleaning and polishing when you want to oxidize your design. I was never sure about what to do first. I tend to have a difficult time getting through tutorials but you had me deeply engaged from start to finish here. Best of all, you've rekindled my desire to create. Thank you, thank you!

[@brentnicol6391]

Onething I have to say. Woman tend to explain in more detail than men. Great job and I love the detailed explanation.

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

I appreciate that!

[@ingoddaplastafeario]

One of the more interesting tutorials ive watch, I can say i much rather hear the process explained like you do than listen to some strange music like in some videos ive seen. Ive made my jewelry since i was a teenager, wish we would of had videos to watch back then. lol!

[@Julia-qf8eh]

Great tutorial! I liked how you kept instructions short and precise. A simple bracelet - with a complicated, fabulous look. Best wishes.

[@tysoon4807]

So beautiful!!!! Thank you! You're a good teacher and your a fabulous artist!!!

[@mjremy2605]

What a fabulous bracelet, wow! I love the high polish after oxidizing, very lovely. It brings out the red gold in copper + the contrasting texture with the oxidizing. This was so interesting to watch. You are a skilled craftsman, and it was a joy to see how you made this. I had a similar silver bracelet which I lost in a burglary, so now i can make it again myself. Thank you for your time and generosity in sharing your work! ❣❣❣

That is so awesome!!! Thank you for providing the video!!!

[@BillyBoingers]

Amazing. You and your technique is beautiful. Thank you.

[@rogerelgh173]

Nice! A little tip for you.. If you just hold the ends of the coil and pull them apart they will separate equally.. You don't have to separate each bend and try to make them even.

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

It does spread the coils more evenly but you still have to get 2, or more of them to line up perfectly in order to join them. My bracelets come out 100% better using the jig.

[@papgoodwin]

Great job...👍👍.... I use a copper wire for solder and it is all the same color so you don't have the silver color. It's just the way I do it.

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

I have begun using that for my copper wire soldering.

[@papgoodwin]

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Thank you!

[@kai-uwefranck6076]

Stunning work, a tip for when you have finished making it. Take some beeswax and melt it in between the spaces of the bracelet, and wipe off the excess. What that does is it stops the bracelet from plucking at your arm hairs.

[@vivianac1592]

Hermoso trabajó. Muchas gracias.

[@donaldisidori421]

Great video thumbs up

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Thanks for the visit

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

Fabulous!

[@nachocanet4312]

Really nice video. How you protect the cooper from rusting or turnishing over the time?? Thx!!!

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Copper isn't going to rust but if you want to prevent oxidation you can coat with a sealer like Protectaclear.

[@donw8108]

That is awesome!

[@jdog4534]

You can just stick the end of the wire in between the jaws of the chuck of your wire coiler. It wont come out. Then you can just pull the coil off the end of the mandrel. I do it with my drill. The only time it wont work is if the mandrel is so small the chuck jaws are too close together to fit the wire in.

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

Excellent, thank you for sharing your know-how. Where do you get your flux and solder... And what is in Yer pickle pot?

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

All items are on our website. Check this list on this page. www.flatwearable.net/home/corkscrew-copper-wire-bracelet/

[@terrymoser2028]

Love your work! I want to do this!

[@rixogtr]

Maybe it'd help if you'd support the end of your mandrel somehow. Having both ends supported will make the mandrel stable thus helping you with more even coil and easier winding process.

[@angelguev4765]

Este es un brazalete raro casi no se ve y esta hermoso, lo estuve buscando hace tiempo y no lo encontrava gracias.

[@hakkcangoz2493]

Çok başarılı bir çalışma tebrikler .

[@chrisdemeglio7983]

Stumbled onto your videos and am very impressed with your work, explanation, and results. Can you explain what the "pickling" process is and the steps to annealing and pickling. Just subscribed and want to learn a lot more of the process. Thanks

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Search KZbin for these processes. There are a number of videos.

[@josiah7711]

Where can I buy the tools to make the bracelet?

[@kevinloar6264]

Really interesting work I enjoyed watching it. I have a question or two you mentioned pickling several times and I seen you spraying something on the metal before you would solder it. What is the pickling solution and what are you spraying on the metal before you solder it if you don't mind my asking thank you for your time. I did enjoy watching how you made the bracelet and the final finish

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Sparex is the product used to make the pickle. My-T-Flux is the spray that is used to clean the metal and allow the solder to flow. You can find a list of all of the tools and items on our website at www.flatwearable.net/home/corkscrew-copper-wire-bracelet/

[@WildBearFoot]

Ever do any two-tone, like silver wire with copper rods inside or vice-versa?

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

sure

[@ccdrouin]

It’s beautiful, do you do anything to keep the copper from turning your skin black, thanks

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

You can dip it in Protectaclear. I talk about it in this tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-9en58rdeKhc0

[@bobbarker5884]

I've tried that many times and was very disappointed. It makes the finish look cheap and wears off fast. Then the finish is uneven and all kinds of messed up. Ultimately the copper will still oxidize, staining your clothes, skin and everything else. I love copper but it just can't be worn for jewelry that is exposed to any kind of elements or wear and tear 😔

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

Sounds like you aren't preparing the metal properly or using the wrong type of sealer, or not applying the sealer as instructed. I've had no issues as you have described. People need to realize that you cannot wear jewelry while washing dishes, bathing, swimming, exercising, etc. Copper is a great metal for jewelry and an inexpensive way to learn.

I really respect your attention to detail - I am more of a leather worker but after watching this video would like to try making one of these bracelets for myself. Where, may I ask, do you purchase the swage blocks you used? - I find watching a true artisan at work very interesting.

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

[@glass1258]

Beautiful piece ! Do you apply any coating to the piece after final finishing to prevent further patina/liver of sulfur wearing away as well as the the smell that can linger on it from the liver of sulfur bath ?

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

I discuss adding a seal coat to jewelry in this recent video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX-9en58rdeKhc0

Nice. ✌️

[@jeffschmoll2928]

Great video. Do you need to do an initial annealing for wire that is dead soft?

[@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry]

no

[@meb1233]

I have a massive spool of 20 ga. cooper wire that's been around for years so I just did a 6strand braid, flattened it and made a frame for a stained glass piece I've been working on. I'm going to try this next. Thanks for showing how to do this it's beautiful. IT took three feet of length so it's going to be a trick but I'm game. What is the pickling solution , and what does it do? Subbed and definitely checking out your channel for more ideas.

What are you wearing on your left hand holding the wire before its wrapped onto the mandrel? I've been trying to find something like that as i wind my child's by hand & eventually my finger hurt! Thanks so much! Aloha!

[@LucianoSerranoPalestras]

@@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry thanks a lot for your attention an orientation, this cleaner are not available here in Brazil, can you, please, share the ingredients from the box (what are this coat cleaner made of), so i can understand what is use for the cooper protection?

[@strini2]

You could make watch bracelets. Tks

[@roamingcelt]

You're using a drill chuck for your mandrel. To save yourself time/fighting/cutting your wire, about an inch down the start of your wire bend a 90deg. Then stick the tip of the wire between two of the teeth of the chuck. Almost all of the wire sizes you use should be able to fit.
