this video taught me how to work copper i have just made my first celtic torc and i want to thank you i am now totally addicted to working with copper its soo much fun 😁

[@incognitoalias2808]

I just stumbled upon your channel and very grateful for your knowledge. Wish I found it sooner might of saved a hundred at least..........

[@not2fast4u2c]

I Like the look of the rectangle ones twisted together... I remember seeing bracelets made by twisting 2 copper wires with 1 aluminium wire and then they were hammered flat they were popular in the 70's

[@897473]

not2fast4u2c Now that you mention it, I remember those. For awhile there was a copper craze, the idea that copper next to the skin was good for you. Don't remember what that was all about.

[@iFeelNoSorrow]

thank you for this ;) i love your tips!!! and the effort you put into explaining the process :) greets from austria

[@danemeow8]

I had to check to see if this video was by John Goodman... You sound just like him, great video by the way

[@smooveking773]

Great info but id like to put a twist. Alongside a coper pipe to give flowing water spiral motion can you dhow me how that would be done

[@897473]

Sorry, I can't help, but sounds like a great idea.

[@Brandon10101011]

from being an electrician we twist wires to make joints this leads me to believe the break in continuity was also from a lack of pulling back while twisting. that is how we make good joints we have keep the wires taught by pulling back hard and giving a really torquey twist and they come out uniform with no air gaps.

[@TeenaStewart]

Love the drill use

[@897473]

Teena Stewart Thanks for watching. The drill does make it a bit easier.

[@venust.4119]

Interesting video

[@897473]

[@mattamiller]

George you should consider voice acting.

[@102Montana]

[@897473]

Robert Biaggi Thank Robert. should be able to add to this video ein about a week.

[@rinio.s]

nice way to make decorative creek Thank you

[@burtreynolds3143]

Not sure if you are still monitoring these comments but I have a couple of questions after watching this. 1) Why anneal copper when I can already twist it as it comes? 2) If I do anneal it then how am I / you going to harden it again when the project is ultimately complete so that I / you are not stuck with a easily damaged/bent soft bracelet, decoration or knick knack? Is there a subsequent video on hardening?

[@897473]

If the copper is the way you want it, then there would be no reason to anneal. I generally anneal because it makes the copper easier to work into the designed shape. Hardening copper: Sometimes, once the final shape is reached the copper is soft. That's the time to hardcore the copper . Hopefully doing it in such a way that does not damage the final piece. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTRlpqnaZZpfbM

[@anewstacker7841]

nice video! it looks so satisfying with the drill :)

[@897473]

Thanks for commenting. Rather fun do something that simple and get those results.

[@anewstacker7841]

+George Goehl i love making blades and axes but im just getting in to it :)

[@glamourdontgurl2]

Just stumbled across your video, how amazing ! Thank you Sir for sharing this. Can you please tell where I could get that tool you ae using to twist?

[@897473]

Look for a tap wrench handle. Amazon has one for as low as $8.00. You can spend more. Let me know if this helps.

[@glamourdontgurl2]

👍 yes, thank you so very much ! I truly appreciate you taking the time to answer. Many thanks !!!

[@RockOutJewelry]

great vid!

[@897473]

Thanks for commenting. Twisting copper wire is not only fun, but it's also easy.

[@hollymarkle2861]

Love your voice!!!

[@genericwhitemale1114]

By twisting the copper are you strengthening it as well?

[@897473]

Twisting copper as in this video will make the copper harder. The copper will go from soft to half hard and then on to hard if it is continually worked. Eventually becoming brittle and fracturing.

[@genericwhitemale1114]

George Goehl I see. Ever so slowly I'm learning more about metal and I don't ever plan on working with metal. Keep up the videos George.

[@ig495]

you have a great voice

[@fallenangil1]

One can also use a drill to twist but dont go to fast.

[@krisraps]

3;07 - tHAT DEFFECT IS CAUSED BECAUSE THE TWO WIRES WAS NOT AT THE SAME STRENGHT, I LIKE TO TWIST THE WIRES WHEN THE BOTH WIRES ARE MORE APART FROM EACH OTHER AND WHEN TWIST THEY COME CLOSER AND THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT ARRIVE

[@897473]

+KrisRaps Thanks for your comment. Will give that a try.

[@krisraps]

George Goehl Next what i do is put them wires on to the torch so i heat them up and that way they twist a hundred times smoother and better, but that is a two mans job

[@dorisrosa4042]

Yes, nice voice!

[@DC-ei9vl]

The grandpa we never got to hear!

[@tomdutch9509]

what about more then 2 wires at a time

[@897473]

Using multiple wires (meaning more than two) can give you some interesting effects. It's all a trial and error process.

[@arronbingham3769]

I want you to narrorate my life

[@krisraps]

I Will upload my version of how i do this and i think my version will be better

[@897473]

+KrisRaps Look forward to seeing your video. Thanks for watching.
