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...
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.
WhaleOilBeefHooked Main Just film yourself then replay at fast speed and you will see how fast your hammer action will have become, and with plenty of practice you won’t need to film yourself, lol 😂
Beautiful!..I made a few copper bracelets but I live in an apt so i had to make it apt friendly..no fire...hammering done when neighbors weren't home..I'm still at it ♡ love your style
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!!!
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!
Ik its been three years but im getting into ring making and bracelets, do I need to coat it with anything? Will it stain skin or tarnish if its just bare copper?
I respect that you leave comments in support of the author! I will be glad if you rate my videos! In one of the videos, I made gold earrings out of ordinary coffee beans!
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.
Its not his idea, bracelets have been around since mankind first rummaged the earth! You don't need to ask permission to "STEAL" someon else's showcase of idea they stole from some where else. Monkey see monkey do! Is the concept here in internet land.
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.
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?
@@godbluffvdgg I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you made the video. If I need any crap from you, I'll squeeze your head...I bet you think NUKES are fake too...Hahahahaha. What a loser...
I made my own the day before. One now on wrists and ankles. I suffer dibilitating pain daily I will let you know. As yet worn them for 24 hours with no reduction in pain whatsoever 😣 I will continue wearing for 1 month I'll update you if you wish 🙏
@@user-rn6hz8pb9s None at all sorry I totally forgot to update...Had them on daily...Severe pain slight difference not noticeable with my pain levels. Strangely It stopped me controlling my dreams which was very strange...
I have been in lockdown since March 2020, and this video and others have kept me sane! Made some great Xmas presents from this and other short films. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
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! 😊
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.
Wow! You made it look so easy! Unfortunately I can but drool, as I don't have the muscle, the anvil or the torch!! Lol I really love your simple design, and they all look really cool. Reminds me of something from Elizabethan England! 🌸💖😊
Love this design and tutorial - great demo on how to hammer, anneal and to use pickle to clean the metal. Will share on my blog (beadinggem) in due course so others can come watch!!
Great work, and the bracelets turned out fantastic. Have you or any of your viewers figured out how to keep cooper from turning our skin green? Are there any other tips besides coating the inside with clear fingernail polish, etc.?
very cool...beautiful finished product...i wore a copper bracelet for years until it wore down and was too sharp along the edges to wear.john wayne always wore one.
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.
I like this
Nice
Did you make that for your daughter?
I really like this!
I could do that... But who should wear it?

Nice job I watch them do this in southern Chile right beside the copper mines 50 years ago it's the art it's not forgotten by people like you
Totally saved Christmas for me, brother! Thank you!!! I made 9 of them this afternoon. Thank you, again!!!
Okie Family those 9 you gave as xmas gifts, did anyone ask for a return receipt?
Sure
😂🤣😂🤣😂Tramp

Excellent, but where can one purchase the fast action hammer like the one you're using in the video? 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
Auto-click hammer

Love it! To add a bit of contrast you could also run a bead of solder in the center section.
Finally!! A cool project I actually have the ability to make. Keep em coming
LOOKS GREAT, THANKS.🇺🇸✌️👍🏻
I loved the hammering...cracked me up. Great ideas, you're a talent! Thank you!
😍😍😍😍😍😍 it is good copper maker
I have made a few very simple copper bracelets by hammering the daylights out of copper wire. Thank you for ideas and demonstrations.
Thank you for the massage, I really enjoyed it.
Also, I'm from the future; we need this in 2020.

Surprisingly nice result mate. A little touch of black enamel paint in the centre to weather it/darken it would work wonders.
Someone is after brownie points😂😂, these are great Christmas gifts. Was great to show the different versions too. 👊👊👊
I dig it. I'm going to give it a try! Thanks man.
I've been making bracelets this way for a good while, it's such a great way of doing it!
Ik its been three years but im getting into ring making and bracelets, do I need to coat it with anything? Will it stain skin or tarnish if its just bare copper?
Very nicely done. I like the use of the hammer and chisel for texturing.
That’s a great project! They looked awesome and simple. Thanks for showing your other versions. It’s on my todo list now 😀
This is so cool Gader! Watching the colours change as you hear the copper was totally mesmerising!
Amazing Work! Congrats! Thank you for making this tutorial and to share your knowledge with us.

Ven a Chile hermano...Aquí sí que hay cobre. Excelente trabajo...Bendiciones y gracias por compartir😊
That was really cool! Nice to see all those different styles as well! Excellent work.
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!
I have made several copper crosses and added patina to them but this is really a cool idea, thanks.
Watching this being flattened is very satisfying!!
progetto semplice e bello, complimenti.
TheRyuk72 concordo; il risultato è stranamente e semplicemente complesso, ed è anche abbastanza semplice da fare
Italian?
Si Mon yeas
That is exactly what I do except for I did learn a few new tricks. One big one being the scribing before folding. Thx
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.
Northern Woodsman makes sense
@@will7919 well yeah, you wouldn't want a bracelet that falls off. ;)
I trusted you!
@@RB-er6gu Wooosh
Then apply this technique :-)
Because of this video I just found a new hobby; thank you very much!
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.
Is that just water his quenching it in, or oil?
good to know, thankyou
@@clayapreston5641 Typically it's just water.
Water
Get a real hammer and save the gas. Worked copper for years and you are wearing yourself out with that tack hammer
I did this and then saw your video! I love the folded edge, going to try that next time
Wowow this vid was freaking dope! Thanks for making my night with this one ☝🏾. Great work there. Super awesome.
I made one of these the day before yesterday. I like it! Thank you for posting this "how to" video.
Beautiful!

They're so beautiful! You're so talented! Great job, I want them all ahahah

Man with a good nomadic hammer, furnace and anvil set up. You could crank these puppy's out like hot cakes.
I was asking why you quenched it, then I've read the description.
It's really cool. I would customize it engraving my name.
I wear mine faithfully. Great benefits. Awesome video, thank you. 😊

@@truckertriesfarming9792 the hammer with the flat end is called a cross peen, if that is what you are referring to.
Inspiringly simple with elegant results .
That vid sure arrived on spot for christmas season and all (us) those husbands out there who don't have anything for the wife yet...
Very nice. I may try using 14 to 12 gauge copper wire along both edges to form beads . Thanks man!
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?
Please read the description.

@@asleepyinsomnia i think you are correct on this matter. good explonation!
Copper becomes softer by quenching it, the opposite way of steel
Beautiful work! I am trying to figure out what length to cut. Thanks for sharing!!!!
That's very nice! Thanks for making this video, I'm looking forward to make my own bracelets :)
Loved this project. Youve inspired me! I had surgery and im out of work for a few months . I’ll definitely be doing this
Yeah, like kool man...3 days of wearing it, and your arm is a real kool shade of green too.
They have special clear coatings for jewelry that prevent that...Way to be an internet fuckhead...Ya jabroni!

make a pipe from a copper braclet
@COD BL4CK0P3R4T1V3 =))))))))))
For real he could
“Easy”
Lol funny but its actually quite easy to do im a goldsmith and make regulary pipe chanier from metal
All the plumbing in my house is from recycled bracelets!
They turned out better than I thought they would to be honest 👍
Cool idea Bro 🤘 I like it
Beautiful work and great way to recycle scrap metal
I wonder if there really is any truth about copper, or other elements, helping with aches and pains or even healing? Just an honest question.

@@user-rn6hz8pb9s Took them off today...
It's true
Beautiful bracelets
Love, love, love ❤
Would have been cool to put copper pennies in the middle
Wire Works Yes, use coin inlays
Pennies are not made of copper now, they are zinc with copper plating. You would need very old pennies.
Have tried putting a penny through a rolling mill?
Awesome!
I love all of the 'tapping' sounds!
oooh pretty, Just curious, did you divide it into quarters, to get the fold line? also how long was the pipe, Awesome job man!
He done it in fifths or so, otherwise there wouldn't have been the gap in the middle
Genial... Estas pulseras ayudan a la salud... Gracias 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That was easy??
I had no idea that a simple copper bracelet required that much effort!
Beautiful result and fun video to watch with speed turned up.
What were the multiple heating processes for?
to remove the stress from hammering, when u hammer copper or gold or something simular it gets brittle and breaks easier
It's explained in video description
copper bracelets are very nice, i made a similar one too long time ago, they also have healing properties if you have nervous system problems
Your hands, at the place of wearing the bracelet, will have characteristic dark bands, from copper oxidation!
That's part of the style
Yeah I love the dark patches on my wrist, and the smell. Good for my joints too.
unless you clear coat it
You can put a clear coat on it or rub some Johnson's paste wax in it to help minimize that.
I have been in lockdown since March 2020, and this video and others have kept me sane! Made some great Xmas presents from this and other short films. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
You don't need to anneal it. I do this a lot and sell a lot of them on etsy. Never once annealed one
Ok but he does god there are to many critics on here,everyone has their own way of doing things and hes just show his way,and u have ur way
An I have one too
What is copper coated with to keep it from tarnishing?
You should open a Etsy store selling these 😂
Veeerrrrry good work; how I wish I had a work shop to create works like this.
Nice job. Might turn your wrists green lol.

Love this, I’m going to try this this weekend I’m a gas engineers I have loads of copper pipe. I guess this could be scaled right down to make a ring
Beautiful work thanks it was great to see what is involved

What will you use so that copper does’t corrode over time?
Can be plated with silver or other electroplating.
It's satisfying to watch you do it on high speed :)

Just the spark I needed , the fire is lit 🔥 THANK YOU !!! GREAT PROJECT
Beautiful work!!
that really was easy, and well made! Good Job!
Real cool. Thanks for the idea!
I've been on a patina kick lately and these would look cool either way. Shined copper or patina blue/green.
