Best Cuban link chain I've seen!
Hi Huss, I've watched a heck of a lot of videos on Cuban link chains and the tightness of your links make all other videos look like amateurs, not to mention the very stylish clasp.
Thank you for sharing! Very much appreciated!
Thank you so much
Love it... I'm gonna try this myself
If you stick a screwdriver in the other end link you can pull and twist that at the same time and you get a lot more leverage trying to twist until the solder joints are all in one side...
Now I have to get a bracelet. Damn nice craftmanship
Im owning a cuban link and i love it to see videos about it its like im proud of my chain cause i modded some things on my self
That’s such a beautiful piece, love your channel your work is incredible
Sanjeev Basi Thank you
@Caterina Catalanotto This channel only showing how it's made Thank you for watching

דנה יוסף thank you sou
that voice is the most highest member of all guilds in skyrim lol great craftsmanship. i been looking at just the locking mechanism lol thats a super cool very barely see wer the box lock it. more bracelet exposure than the lock taking up upside space.
Thanks for watching
Great video very detailed I salute you and your craftsmanship.
Thank you 🙏
Wow, not only is yours the most descriptive video ive seen (I mean you're the only one who tells us what diameter rod is needed!!) But your technique is so much more professional and loving towards the art itself! I mean the 3 link solder method just screams durability to me!! This is a chain that will never break! Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you so much great comment
Great video! I’ll try to make one soon, keep up the content and thank you 🔥

@@MadeByHuss I understand, but man I’m telling you, you have people out here making money on onlyfans when THIS is actually quality right here! If you ever find the time or get the time, I’m serious, I’ll be the first in line to purchase your art. It’s very much appreciated on this end.

I own several solid silver and 18 k gold necklaces and bracelets! I love them 😍 this is a gr8 video! I think u did a marvelous job sir, I am an amateur jeweler and I am always amazed at men and women like u...I am trying to do this and it is so hard to get my solders right! I live using gold but can not afford it so I purchase mostly silver, some copper.should I by this type of solder iron? I use a butane torch?
Mike Ivy Thanks for watching
Would love to be a jeweller🏴 thats 🔥
Thank you
Excelente.
To straighten the big chain, have you tried hanging it from the ceiling and hanging a bunch of weight from it while twisting with a big bar? Seems like it would be much easier to apply tension and twist that way.
Hey you may be on to something there have to try that some time
I love the silver chain and bracelet from 8/26/19 cubanlink bracelet. I want to buy both, 9 inches for bracelet and 30 inches for the chain.
Respect. Incredible skills and patience required. Time-consuming work. Kudos. Absolutely beautiful chain.
stephen soo Thank you
I have been doing the same ! Its not easy all the micro adjustments and 3 chains I melted started again very frustrating . I'm a jeweler of 35yrs 3rd generation . Hand made chains are a pain ! Thank you top advise .
Thanks uplifting comment
They way you shave the links is the design I love flat level links makes the Cuban look amazing then the slight flat rounded ones good job can I buy this off of you? 30 inches long
I'm only showing how it's made Thank you for watching
thank you for the ring
Very good
Thanks
you are amazing it would be good if you had linked your tools u used
you can find every thing at walshtools.co.uk or cooksongold.co.uk
Id love to buy a bracelet from you man
👌👌👌Super sir i need this plz🙏🙏🙏
That was a complete show , it was incredible , how much does it costs if someone gonna order a silver necklace and bracelet like this ?
Thank you this channel is showing how it’s made only it’s not for sale thanks for watching
thanks
mourad ouzine your wellcome
What was the acid you put it in the beginning? Do you have to do the same with gold? I want to try and make my own necklace. I’m mechanically inclined and think I could make the links and solder no problem... would have to practice on twisting and get a roller? I would probably use a lobster clasp, just because that lock you made looked like the hardest part, and many yrs experience to make! Wow excellent craftsmanship.

Thanks a ton i always wanted a cuban chain but couldn't ever afford one but i want to make it out of steel any advice for a newbie to jewelry. I do blacksmithing and bladesmithing mainly another reason why i want to use steel.
Wow I’ve never made anything out of steel but I would make it the same way just hope you can twist it the same way I’m not sure what will happen with steel but don’t doubt get it a go you will learn and pick up so much from the mistakes 🤞
@@MadeByHuss well after spending some time in contemplation about your technique. I think after annealing the round stock which is something i do all the time and following up with your techniques without polishing. And then reheating up to critical temperature and quenching then tempering and finally polishing. Hopefully this will work i.d.k. yet as far as the twist goes if worse case ill have to do so hot instead of cold forging. Anyway beautiful work and thanks for the advice and wisdom.
It's very shiny umca
Hey huss, I decided to give this a go myself, and I was curious how the rolling mill helps the chain sit flat? I can twist the chain and over twist a little to straighten it, but it seems like it does want to unravel or hangs straight until I wiggle it a little. Could you explain what that process is to get it to stay straight?
I try in the video I found that when it happened to me i had to start again what work best for me is to have the links tight together and when i twist the links I have to pull that the same time you don"t have to use the mills it can be taped flat to with a hammer so don't worry about over twisting it someone made a comment about hanging a wight on the end to pull it down then to twist it but i haven't try it yet hope this helps best of luck
Super👍
Gross VL Thanks for watching
Nice work sir! may i ask how many millimeter width the final product truns out?
12.3 x 3.7 mm thanks for watching
What is the diameter of the mandrel used to make the circles? Thank you.
sreetips 6.3mm and the wire is 3mm it’s in the video
When you did a copper tester, did you use lead free solder like plumber uses or silver solder?
Mantis Express silver easy solder
🔥
Thanks
muy buenos días desde México alguien me podría explicar qué mezcla utilizo el amigo que hizo la esclava para para abrillantar un poco más cuando la la calentó con el soplete vi que tenía como algo
I think you mean shellac cement
What do you use for soldering, silver rod from market or just a peace of silver that you make it thin like a rod
Danden Bello do you mean the wire I made it the rod I use is steel to make the link rings and I use easy silver solder
God bless you
Thanks for watching
Can you tell me the aspect ratio you used on the links? Is it 2:1? or 2.5:1?
I finally found the clue of my question that I was looking for on a lot of video’s of people making chain bracelets.
But I still got a question ; I never see anybody filing or sanding the chains after soldering right before twisting it. So I wondered … I see it’s not necessary in your video so I assume that you have to use a little as possible of “solder” to fill the gap and on what position you want to have the soldered seams?
Thanks and loved your video!
Little as possible but enough to keep it from snapping thanks for watching
@@MadeByHuss And then you hold the joint underneath the next ring or a bit further because you’ll be twisting it I think? Thanks for the reply and make more videos like this!
@@melmannnnnn I really want to but the boss keeps me busy hopefully soon
When making a box clasp, how thick does the metal need to be? I was looking at sheets of copper metal to try to make one and about the thickest I can find is 1.5mm
I 1.5 is to thick you would need to mill it down if you can I would say about 1 mm thick that would depend on if your going to have stone set in to it
what type of solder do you use? I'm using acid core silver solder on brass and am wondering if its too brittle. My links keep breaking when I twist them. any tips to keep them from breaking?
I used easy silver solder
very neat, the lock is invisible
Thank you
hi ! do you know what mm the bracelet ended up to be? thank you!
Usted puede torcer de mas la cadena
Y después la va pasando por el laminador hasta que quede recta y no se tuersa
thank you sir
When using a lobster clamp what are those things called that the clamp and it’s rings connect to that allow the whole clamp the lay flat?
TrisPvP¯\_(ツ)_/¯ chain ends
Can you please try making a Cuban link chain that does not require soldering or welding the links
That's impossible
Dont Twist And Bend Each Area Of The Chain Individually
Just Keep Twisting Chain The Chain Will Straighten Itself Out If You Just Keep Twisting
Then Once Straighten For Twisting Then Go Through And Do The Fine Tune Straightening By Hand.
How come when I twist my chain my jump rings break at the solder joint?
@@johnguthrie9911 Make Sure Area Is Clean Also Make Sure You Are Using A Good Amount Of Flux.
Look Up Greg Greenwood On YT Has Some Good Soldering Tutorials.
Hi!
Thanks for the informative video.
I'm trying to make a Cuban link bracelet at my home studio..
How do you make oval jump rings?
I see in many videos that people use what seems to be an oval-shaped copper mandrel,
but I can't seem to find any place that sells such a thing.
Do you know where to get theses?
Any advice would be highly appreciated!
They converted it them selves by tapping it or you can try by putting two round together there are jewellery websites like walshtools that sale them but are very expensive all the best my friend
Thank you!@@MadeByHuss
I’m able to shape the links but I can’t get the chain to lay straight and I don’t have a mill. What can I do?
I’m having the same problem even with a mill. I’m trying a new aspect ratio with the size of wire and size of jump ring mandrel hopefully that helps it from it twisting up
Buenas noche.no hablo inglés.señor dígame donde vive soy joyero especialista en cadenas y manillas cubanas.en estos momentos no tengo trabajo.tengo la mayoría de las herramientas.puedo mostrarle sin interez como hacerla.mi consideración y respeto para usted.
Did you use dead soft silver wire, and is it okay to use dead soft 3mm thick sterling silver wire for making a cuban link?
I used 925 sterling silver I wouldn’t sat it was dead soft
👍
Good
Thanks
How do you separate the shellac from the filings?
Mantis Express I just melted it and made a mess but may be you can put it in water and the silver should sink hopefully I don’t know for sure thanks for watching
How would you make a huge braclet like 21mm wide links? Or 21mm chains im intrested in huge statement pieces and would love to be a silversmith
That's a big difference much harder to bend I'm sure you will need a device to bend it one I don't have or another way is to cast each link and link them together
@@MadeByHuss my silversmith with many years of experience said he uses a screw driver to twist and turn the links and need to constantly heat up the chain. Very pain staking he said.
Hi, Thank you for making this video. It has really helped me. I made the Cuban link chain and after a few tries I managed to get it straight. However what are the qualities of a well made chain? Also if I hold the chain from either end and twist it so that the chain spirals. Then I let go of one end should the chain automatically re-twist so that is is straight again. Because with my chain I have to run my fingers down the links to get it straight when I do this?
I know when the chain hangs it need to be straight and this is hard to do with me it helps to have the links tight together with not to much gap and I think when you are making the links it needs to be pulled hard and twist because we do this by hand it makes it very hard to do
thanks for your comment
@@MadeByHuss Thank you for taking the time to reply. Say the chain is straight when you twist the bottom link and the chain spirals. Then you let go of the bottom link so that chain automatically return straight. I made one today when I did this I had to run my fingers down the chain after to get it back to straight.
You said the wire was 3mm thick, but how long was it. Im always curious how you figure out the length of wire you will need for the length of bracelet plus clasp. Love your videos cheers
Randy Murray ok I do it by the weight and I started with about 100grams of silver I never know how much I’m going to need so I make extra then solder together what you need
@@MadeByHuss I see.. did you use the inter 100 grams or did it require more.. This is exactly what i would like to make. Thanks
Randy Murray no I finished at 63 grams 33limks at the end
Is there a way to use wire diameter and mandrel diameter to work out the finished width of the chain?
Well the thickness of the wire has to be half of the rod or smaller so to links can fit example 2mm wire needs 4 mm rod or bigger but I like to keep them tight hope this helps
@@MadeByHuss Thanks for this!
Using silver wire for the solder?
sreetips no it’s solder wire not just wire
After you file the 1st side you showed yourself removing the shellack, Don't you have to flip the chain and shellack it again so you can file the other side or do you only file one side of the chain?
adam cz I did do both I just didn’t film it I’m think I said it I try to make the video short thank you
Your right I have to work on my editing more but that’s why the comments help
Hi how do you resize a Cuban bracelet with no flat or round screw heads?
I would saw across the side link so it doesn’t show I think that’s what you mean
can you let me know what kind of solder wires are you use to solder chain ?
Easy silver solder Thanks for watching
hi, after you file off one side, do u flip it and file the other side?
yes i do
how do you solder your jewlery? is it a simple sterling silver wire lite up?
yes easy silver solder
Also what do you use to wrap the wire around ? And where can I find them ?
TrisPvP¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they are called Rods most tool shops have them or try on line
Which places can I purchase raw gold and silver for jewelry making
In the uk cooksongold or eurofindings
Is it just implied that they file Down the opposite side of the Cuban link? I never see any person do that in there videos
KYVYN Mhh you don’t have to you can do it the way you want it’s your work but I feel most Cuban links are done that way as for the videos I think they just want to keep the video short if you get the chance to do it you’ll see doing one side will just look ugly help this helps
Do u ship ur work out to customers or how would i buy a braclet like that off ya
Nothing is for sale here i'm just showing how It's made Thank you for watching
I seen you used 3mm wire but wat mm was the mandrel you used? And did you have to anneal in between twisting?
brayton mccall it shows in the video 6.3 mm rod and I heated it once before I start and heat it before I cut it in to links
Thank you I appreciate that 👍🏽
let me ask to m ake a cuban link u have to shave with fine rasp from 2 sides right
yes thats right
How you choose the rod size on which the wire is wrapped
Twice the size of the wire so when you put 3 links together the 2 links can go through the one in the middle.
Is it full hard or half hard wire you are working with
295 silver
Do you think you could make a video of you making the copper one
Good video to
hello there I don't think im going to have time to do that but I can tell you its made the same way only there no copper solder but it will show the different colour hope this helps Thanks for watching
Is noti perfect .
I love you
Exemplay GG thank you
How did you clean the wax out of your files afterwards?
Rob Howe it’s not wax it’s setting shellack cement
I made my son a 5mm cuban link chain. I got the results on my page chec it out. You did a very nice job
Thank you
How much for the bracelet. It’s loverly
funky monkey thank you but this channel just shows how it’s made it’s not for sale thanks for wat
Watching
Not bad
Thanks for watching
If i have a 1mm wire what should I wrap it around to get tight links
Well at leas 2mn to call ways try a ltitle sample first from copper wire just a inch or to to see
MadeByHuss for the twisting on some other channels it looks like they just put one end in the vice and hold the other end with a vice grips or so and then when they twist all the links just go together , why does it look so difficult for you
Laura WH yes your right I know but to twist all the chain at once is difficult and you have to pull it too I don’t think they do this by hand I’m sure they have a tool to do this and they don’t show you how
MadeByHuss I’ll leave a link to what I’m talking about , you can see what I mean
ruclips.net/video/yG9ZAkuflP0/видео.html
It’s Bobby whites video Incase link doesn’t work
Im so confused, what did u use to solder them?
silver solder easy solder
Mine 14mm 24” 999 pure silver😎
So do you sell any of your jewelry...if so where and how?
George Henson no my friend only showing how it’s made thanks
mans really got drill as background music
What kind of sterling silver wire is it? Is it like half hard? Dead soft?
It doesn’t matter, because you’ll need to anneal it a few times during the process anyway. Dead soft will work harden after making links, as will half hard
925 silver
Man to get this chain straight is so annoying I hate that process do you have any tips on the straightening process, I have a mill and a vice I just can’t get the damn thing straight
Also using round links
Sanjeev Basi yes I know very stressful the chain needs to be pulled very hard when turning the links some have a device to do this I don’t have one may be if you get some else to pulled it all so I think oval think are better for that you can try a sample like 3-4 inches just to try out and keep your links tight not to much gap best of luck
Qué es ese químico cuando puso la lata cómo se llama ese químico que le puso cuando puso la lata y chorreo algo negro
shellac cement
We’re do you sell this?
