DIY Copper Bracelet | Easy!

[@leecatlow8805]

My wife has been making very similar bracelets for the past few months. We demo'ed out an old refrigeration system on the boat we live on, and she couldn't stand to throw away all the old copper refrigerant lines. She ended up making beautiful bracelets from scrap. That first one you did with the folded edges is a new direction for her...

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Let me know what you think about this kind of easier project! Maybe once in a while it's cool to make something that many of you can make aswell.

Beautiful bracelets - and I love how you showed the whole process by speeding the video up substantially after demonstrating the technique at a normal pace! I love all the variations, too, and can think of plenty more I'm going to try.

Thank you for the massage, I really enjoyed it. Also, I'm from the future; we need this in 2020.

[@mistydavis4746]

I found this video looking up copper pipe bracelet making. I made a door pull from a copper pipe for my screen door. It was a whole lot of fun and a gob of work, but I loved the process and the result. After watching your video, I looked through your list of videos dating back to 7 years ago and all I can say is wow! You have amazing talent. Needless to say, I just had to subscribe. It would be nice to see a tips and tricks video for someone just starting out. I'd like to make some metal hangers for garden tools for the chicken coop, but I live on the coast where the salt air is horrible when it comes to rust. I thought maybe copper pipe might work, but it might be too weak. Anyhow, thank you so very much for sharing your incredibly beautiful art!!!

[@elesjuan]

Man you always come up with the coolest stuff. Truthfully, I go through my subscription list on a daily basis and just click to open a new tab on everything, so I didn't see the title until the video was over, so I had no idea until you started to curve the bracelet what it actually was. This was super cool. Kudos!

[@connormatthews522]

Surprisingly nice result mate. A little touch of black enamel paint in the centre to weather it/darken it would work wonders.

[@northernwoodsman]

Im not an expert, but to get a better fit around the wrist, you should heat it red hot and wrap it around the wrist. That way, you are guaranteed to get a perfect fit.

[@will7919]

Northern Woodsman makes sense

What a very cool use for scrap copper. Hell, I don't even need to stay at a Holiday Inn to know how to do this. Great video!

[@juddfuller8868]

Could you do a video re: tools used for this project I want exactly what you've got!

[@truckertriesfarming9792]

Ball-Peen Hammer Torch Bench Vise Anvil Rubber Mallet Calipers Chisel Jar of Water Vice-Grips (Needle Nose) Steel Wool File And some other kind of hammer that I've seen a lot of, but have never known the proper name for. I think that's covered it. Though, you could pretty much pull this off with basic pliers and a random hammer. The finer details, such as the folding, would be a tad more difficult. And, it's may prove difficult to file, without a file. But, if you have a basic pair of pliers and a hammer, I expect that you may have some other basic tools, and if you are able to think "outside of the box", you could come up with your own detailing solutions.

[@keystonecomet9949]

@@truckertriesfarming9792 the hammer with the flat end is called a cross peen, if that is what you are referring to.

[@johnhartley3596]

I like occasional easy metal projects. I’d don’t yet do any metal work, so it’ll be a good starting project. What does the heating and cooling do?

[@ZioNello_]

Please read the description.

[@jazzb97]

@@sadboi3646 quenching copper softens it

[@asleepyinsomnia]

look up annealing. but basically continuous hammering makes the copper harden internally and it'll eventually become brittle and chip *work hardening*. heating and cooling softens the copper so you can continue to hammer it. someone correct me if i'm wrong, but brass works the same way as copper?

[@herbivoorus3241]

@@asleepyinsomnia i think you are correct on this matter. good explonation!

[@CVP-og9pw]

Copper becomes softer by quenching it, the opposite way of steel

They turned out better than I thought they would to be honest 👍

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

Periodically heating it up with a torch until it's red hot is a crucial step. Annealing the copper makes it soft and pounding it out hardens it again.

[@clayapreston5641]

Is that just water his quenching it in, or oil?

[@mssavedin92]

good to know, thankyou

[@JuJuAndPenny]

​@@clayapreston5641 Typically it's just water.

to remove the stress from hammering, when u hammer copper or gold or something simular it gets brittle and breaks easier

[@ZioNello_]

It's explained in video description

[@tammygurl64]

That's cool!👍 I've never done inlay so I don't know if it's doable but if it is, turquoise or abalone inlay would probably look great as would flame painting. I can't wait to make this bracelet although I will have to improvise since I don't have either a vise or a nice big anvil. Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@bettyedmonds7106]

I'm sending my hubby on a scouting mission at a scrap yard to find a piece of railroad track or something to help me try this. He's a retired plumber so we have pipe pieces every where.
