Jim, so glad to find you have your own channel. That bracelet turned out beautifully. Just a helpful hint...I have noticed many jewelry creators out there with bench blocks that appear to have some rust. I have a really nice work bench with drawers, one for measuring tools, bench block and hammers, jewelry tools, etc..What I do is save all of those little packets from vitamins, tennis shoes, etc that absorb moisture, put them in a small netted jewelry bag and place them in each drawer. I have had my bench block for over 8 years and it looks brand new. I love your work and cannot wait to see the rest of your videos. Thank you.

[@JimMcIntosh]

Thank you for watching. That's a great tip, I'm gonna try that. I'll haver to be more mindful about keeping those packets instead of throwing them away.

Bonsoir pour s abonner il faudrait la traduction en français. Merci

[@mes373]

This is a beautiful bracelet, I'm showing how to make the bangle gives me all kinds of ideas on how to make a medical alert bracelet using just their symbol, I'm not their bracelet section. Those things are notoriously hard to close

[@deborahwelch1272]

I always enjoy and appreciate your tutorials.

[@JimMcIntosh]

Glad you like them!

[@lianefehrle9921]

Thank you for this. I got the tool that you use. I haven’t tried it yet but I will today. I still need to get the wire size . I do have wire that is a little smaller. I will tell you how it goes.

[@JimMcIntosh]

Awesome!! Let me know how it goes

[@luminitanora6048]

Can I use normal round wire? Thank you!🥰

[@michael11246677]

I have some gemstones. Could you please tell me which brand of glue is stronger and can effectively adhere the gems to the ring setting? Because some glues fail to stabilize gemstones and result in easy detachment. Thanks

[@JimMcIntosh]

Thank you for your question. I don't use a lot of glue in my work. Most people like E6000, however I don't think that it is the strongest for securing stones. I would probably go with a 2 part epoxy. I've used 2 part epoxy made by Gorilla Glue, Vigor makes a pretty good 2 part epoxy, and epoxy 330 works well. I hope this helps.

[@junie6pope]

Hi Jim, great tutoring as usual. Can I ask where I can buy the wire wrap hold pliers? Thanks.

[@JimMcIntosh]

Thank you. You can purchase WrapMaker Pliers on my website wirearteducation.com

[@mes373]

What if you don't want your hook right beside the cabochon? I'd rather have the hook and loop underneath on the inside of my wrist

[@jeweliedee4299]

The wirewrap pliers link is not working. Are they still available?

[@JimMcIntosh]

Right now the only place that has them in stock is JTV. Here's the link - www.jtv.com/search?Ntt=wrapmaker+pliers&type=products&N=4243964577&Ntk=All

[@lindahueston1192]

I have just discovered your channel. How can we find the wire wrapping pliers that you use. Thank you

[@JimMcIntosh]

I have partnered with Beadsmith to manufacture and distribute the pliers. I am waiting for them to get a shipment in, so hopefully I will get them in soon. When I do I will make an announcement via my KZbin Channel.

[@yenhachau8539]

Hello Jim, can I ask where did you get your flat nose plier (that can insert wire alongside) from? I could like to get one. Thanks

[@JimMcIntosh]

I was producing them myself and making them available on my website (wirearteducation .com). However, I have partnered with Beadsmith and they are manufacturing some new and improved ones that we hope will be available in May 2022. The ones that they are producing are beautiful - nice handles and high quality craftsmanship. Stay tuned

Great bracelet! Where do you get those "wrap maker pliers"? Never seen them before...

Thank you very much. You can find wrapmakers on my website - wirearteducation.com. They are manufactured and distributed by beadsmith.

[@dianadee8595]

I found them on Etsy.

[@cindiwall7398]

Can the stone be set in the middle of the bracklet?

[@JimMcIntosh]

I don't see why not. That's the good thing about how I demonstrate jewelry making - it's only a basic starting point. I love it when people take the basic and turn it into something new...something their own. Try it and let me know how it turns out.

[@cphawaii]

Which flat nose pliers do you have?

[@JimMcIntosh]

I am using a new product from BeadSmith called WrapMaker Pliers. I designed and created them to make wire wrapping easier. You can get them via my website - www.wirearteducation.com/tools

[@elvisdsr]

I made this with the 18 gauge and it bends out of shape easily.

[@JimMcIntosh]

You may need to temper the bracelet shank by hammering it with a rawhide mallet. When you do this be sure to put the bracelet on a bracelet mandrel or something firm and round,

[@sandralewis1162]

Is that a baseball bat ? I cut one off to make mine lol
