I got asked many times to share the method I used to make these Moon Crater Cuffs, the bracelets I made out of copper tubing. So here it is, the long-awaited video tutorial! ;)
It's not hard to make the air chasing bracelets, it's just a little time-consuming. If you follow my direction here, you will soon start making them too :D

Great tutorial. Not excessively wordy like some and no boring introductions. Quick, to the point and easy to understand. Also, the lady is charming and sweet.

[@sisteryaya24]

Love it! Your technique is a lot easier than the air chasing I have tried. Beautiful! Thanks you.

[@ScreeminMeeme]

Fabulous tutorial on how to make this beautiful bracelet. Great job. I look forward to more. Thanks much.

[@jacksonvillereclaimedwood6709]

That’s a very good video. Not too wordy and shows all the steps needed.

[@metalmogul4691]

You have some creative skill! Thank you for sharing it with the public.

[@carlpbrill]

That is really beautiful work. It looks so organic like lizard skin. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@bthomasx]

I watched and made a couple of these. They came out great, thanks for a good video

[@rampanttricky17]

thank you for sharing/demonstrating the box tool that you made to allow yourself to more easily hammer the folds or ridges horizontally!

[@philhewett1601]

Well done. Straight, to the point, lots of information, and interesting. It was refreshing to view a tutorial video without all the unnecessary prattle that is often fond on KZbin.

[@Old52Guy]

Outstanding! Simple and elegant.

[@DeniseMcIntyre2016]

[@lisapupillo1724]

One of the best tutorials I've seen. Informative and quick. So many just drone on and on with ums, uhs and don't even tell you what you need to know. Yours was perfect - Thank you!

[@Popnicute]

Thank you for your positive feedback! I get impatient quickly with dragging tutorials that's why I tried to make mine as compact as possible. Glad to hear I did something right :D

[@PatriotCoinRings]

Great job on the bracelet, I normally only make rings but you got me wanting to give that a a future project. You do really nice work.

[@juddfuller8868]

[@groomlake51]

AWSOME vid!!! Thanks

[@MultiGianni71]

beautiful job

[@VM11238]

when you heat up the metal (annealing) it softens the metal so its easier to Manipulate or reshape etc. once you begin to re-hammer the piece it eventually gets harder to work with, (this is called Work Hardening)or reshape or form(this is called Work Hardening),so then you have to anneal it yet again,to be able to easily work with it.

[@jeffreybaker8467]

Hi from Australia, i have been a panelbeater for 47 years and i love this vid coz you are a girl. I can tell by the way you use the hammer that you have made a lot of these. They look very nice too and you do too,very maganda.
