Oooo, I've done this with a variety of threads, but never seen it done with wire! Very neat! As I recall, there are versions of this finger loop braiding that can create split braids, and a flat braids too! It all depends on which strand and which loops you pull through.
Yes, I believe this guy woke up one day, with all the knowledge about this in his head, and a fully equipped workshop. Without having to do anything./S Don't let "if only" stop you, you can start with little time and money.
The silver wire can be bought...look up silver wire supplier. Copper wire from Jaycar in Australia or The House Jewelry in Sydney. Look online, Pepe tools. Get a flat steel plate where you can hold it on your lap to hammer silver or copper wire. Learn to anneal as once you start hammering 🔨...the wire becomes Work hardened. Small steps...learning , observing. But above all Having a go...a workshop is wherever YOU are. I have an engineering company...every possible machine...but not a table. Or other needs I mentioned to you. Above all I lack TIME. But one day soon Muchaco...soon.!
There's nothing he used that is exceptionally rare or expensive brother. You literally could do this in your apartment! You can buy silver wire, you don't have to make your own. So no need for a $250 rolling mill. A propane torch is under $20 used, probably wayyyy cheaper. The little vise tool he's using could be subbed for a small vise that clamps to a kitchen table. A set of wire pliers is also cheap. Any hammer will work. You just need a smooth face on it. The saw inexpensive, but there's no reason you need a wire jewelry saw. A dremel with a cutting disc will do it. Even a junk grade hack saw will work. Silver is soft. The mandrel he's rounding it out on is a special tool. But they're cheap. Maybe $25 for a ring sizing set. You don't need an anvil, but you could order a mini Chinese made one or substitute a flat piece of iron. Even a sledge hammer can be used as an anvil if the edges are smooth. But going to a metal shop and buying a 4 inch chunk of flat steel bar is super inexpensive. I'd probably get a couple of pencil erasers (the big pink ones) to put under it to minimze hammering noise. Or just fold a towel under it. It is very achievable brother. Don't short yourself because you don't have space or fancy tools. There's a ton of creative tinkering one can do with very few tools at a kitchen table. 😊
If I can get my fingers to cross those wires as you have, it will be a miracle but, I’m going to give it a go and see what happens! I love this ring it is going to be my first!
Amazing work! I was enthralled as I watched. I’ve subscribed and am definitely anxious for more! Watching these videos is what has taught me to be the metalsmith I’ve become today. I now own my own business and make upscale jewelry. This is where you come to learn!
OK so I tried this with coloured bracelet string, but the top and bottom didn't mesh, I had ywo separate plaits, am I going wrong somewhere? Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing. I work with lifting cable rope and have been taught how to stand, lands, and strands together to make eyelets super strong. Not quite what I expected but very beautiful all the same your workmanship is lovely.
Beautiful ring, very lovely. Loved watching you work. Please do not add music to any demo /DIY channel, it is too much for the ears, very stressful. Natural sounds of hammering and sawing are soothing.
I make wire jewelry but don't have the equipment or know-how to make the things I see on this channel. But I will, eventually, I've decided. You guys make it look so easy! I love your videos as well as the beautiful things you make😁
It's finger loop braiding. I can't imagine it's really common to do with wire, even doing it with crochet cotton will give blisters on the sides of your finger joints if you do it too much without building up enough callus
That looks superb! In case you've forgotten, God loves you. Jesus loves you. On your journey beware of traps and snares. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Would it be okay to ask for clarification? I’ve watched a few times and from this run through I see wire 1 being pulled from behind through 2 & 3 then see wire 5 being pulled through wires 4 &5 into the braid. Do I have that right? At first I thought you went under under wire set set 2 and over 3 into the middle or braid and the opposite on the other side. I am going to try this in copper/silver first to see if I like the pattern and if so I’d like to make it for a replacement wedding ring for husband in silver & gold. If you have the time to read thisThank you ..

The ring is nice but i'd like it even more if there was a way of making it seamless. The video is helpful and gave me an idea for a design that uses a decorative piece to disguise the seam.
@Aemni1 it’s easy to make the ends seamless. Make the starting wires longer to begin with. When you are done braiding you form your ring, bend it and put one end of the ring on top (let it overlap). Than look if the design matches and saw through both of your “ends”, hope that helps
he made the wire with a ingot and a rolling mill, but it looks a little thicker then 1 mm so that would be like 16 gauge. if you are planning to buy wire rather then make it, make sure you have a way to anneal the wire to relax the silver metal and make it not brittle. annealing is like slowly cooking the metal with a torch he does this at 0:09. as you cold work the silver metal it will get stiffer and more brittle the ring was short so not a big deal.
@@Amipotsophspond yes at 0:09 he heats to a red colour then drops into water 💧 to instantly cool...it is now soft again. Ready to be reworked. I was thinking 🤔 of making a Lattice made ring to hold a Cabachon Ruby or Red Coral. Using silver wire...using a wire wrap design I've seen in Pinterest.
Fingerloop braiding!!! I’m in shock!
Desde Bogotá Colombia, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, felicitaciones

Yes you are right 👍
There are also written methods for braids needing multiple people ( even up to twenty )
You get a better start with the knots at the fingers, though.
Price please
if only i had metallurgy workshop in apartment... just think what i could accomplish
Same here

I never would have thought to use braid walking with wire! What an awesome concept.
Great job . I was going to do a 4 strand weave ring . After watching this . O yea ! That's sweet . Thank you .
Amazing work! I was enthralled as I watched. I’ve subscribed and am definitely anxious for more! Watching these videos is what has taught me to be the metalsmith I’ve become today. I now own my own business and make upscale jewelry. This is where you come to learn!
That was neat. I used to do that with rope and shot line in the USN. Thanks for putting the video up
I love it! simple, right to the point and educational! Thank you!
Impressive work.
فوق العاده بود.همیشه دوست داشتم بتوانم چنین کاری را یاد بگیرم.❤
That's beautiful, i wish i had a workshop. I'm definitely going to try with the copper wire i have. Thank you ❤
OK so I tried this with coloured bracelet string, but the top and bottom didn't mesh, I had ywo separate plaits, am I going wrong somewhere? Thank you 😊
Watch the video carefully thank you
I love it what gauge wire?
Thanks for sharing. I work with lifting cable rope and have been taught how to stand, lands, and strands together to make eyelets super strong. Not quite what I expected but very beautiful all the same your workmanship is lovely.
Beautiful work
Bravo 👏👏👏👍👍👍🦋🦋🦋
Well done! Great work, done by hand. Very good!
Excellent craftsmanship! There should be a ring and a bracelet option to be sold as a set.
Totally agree, plus add a pendant & earrings for a complete set!
This is such a cool ring! I am doing my own version of this based off of your work with weaving 18 gauge nickel and brass together
😮That is absolutely gorgeous i love it ❤xx
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial x
Ahhh the old left hand right foot clamp, can’t beat it.😂 good job sir. Also, cut that nail.
better cut both of them, but then with a twist: how about instead of gel nails put on some steel nails?
Stunning ❤
Wow…very cool! Thanks!!
The pinkie nail is for digging for gold when you’re driving or watching RUclips videos.
That’s a dumb comment and not nice 6:23
Beautiful!
I like it
Too cool 😎
Beautiful ring, very lovely. Loved watching you work. Please do not add music to any demo /DIY channel, it is too much for the ears, very stressful. Natural sounds of hammering and sawing are soothing.
So beautiful !!!
I tried the same trick with copper wire ,,, it,s cool
Nice work dude.
Muy bueno!!! Gracias brother!
❤️👍👍

Amazon site all jewellery tool available
Thanks for watching
Just brilliant! Really!
Very beautiful. Thank you.
Me y bien echo 🙏🏽🙏🏽👌te encargo ke por ngas más videos de esos
Great looking ring! weirdly long pinky nails🤔
It’s very typical for Asian and Indonesian men to have long pinky nails. It’s a cultural thing.
That's the pickin' nail
Also called a coke nail
I mean clearly it comes in handy, he used it to weave through the wires more easily. Weird, but useful!
For the white girl!
Really beautiful ring. I need to enroll in some classes. Just my 1 cent
우와 이 디자인 너무 아름다워요 금반지로 만들고 싶엉ㅅ
Very nice, thanks!!!
Que lindooo! Ja fiz um mas nao ficou tao bonito com fio mais grosso. Vou fazer de novo
I used to do this with yarn, but I've never thought about doing it with wire!
That is a gorgeous ring and I loved watching you make it 🤩
I presume you sell what you make, where can I buy your creations?
Nice job 👍
I think i will make one too 😏
It looks beautiful. Tell every professional who needs that long nail has one! Is there a different way to do the join?
Is this a common method? Ive never seen looped wire braiding before, its cool
It's finger loop braiding. I can't imagine it's really common to do with wire, even doing it with crochet cotton will give blisters on the sides of your finger joints if you do it too much without building up enough callus
Thats pretty. Can you tell me more? Where can I get the directions to make this beautiful ring?
❤
i did my coils for my Vape with this technique
That would braid make a beautiful copper bracelet
6:35 that coke spoon fingernail.
Rất tuyệt vời.
The loop braids I usually make with five loops is flat on one side and rounded on the other. Looks like knitting on the round side
Rolling machine is not needed, if you use premade wire.
You can just warp the ends with the wire the ring is made and leave a gap.
I used to braid 32 and below for vaping coils but I’ve switched to jewelry making now
That looks superb!
In case you've forgotten, God loves you. Jesus loves you. On your journey beware of traps and snares. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Amazing , left a diamond stone or white topaz

👍👍❤🌷❤👍👍
Awesome ❤ Is this how they make a Franco chain?
Coke nail.
not one but two coke nails.
That's a lot of coke.
Really beautiful. Please tell us what gauge or mm the wire was drawn down to.
Any of these 21,22,23 gauge wire
Thanks for watching
Wow is beautiful the ring 🤍
Eso que usa para ablandar el alambre es un soplete?
That's it, yes! How nice it is to look at the work of a professional! Greetings from Russia!
Cooper, gold, silver on a single bracelet could you make?

सर जी ट्यूटोरियल वीडियो बनाए ताकि देखने वाले को भी आ जाए।
what camera are you using?
This is your own design or from catalogue?
It's very simple. All you need is long pinky nails.
Hey there, beautiful work! What diameter does the wire have?
Looks like 18-20 gauge
That's interesting. The video doesn't play in 1080p.
Please make video on hip chain making in our side we call nevala
What are the names of the tools used at the start to stretch the wire out? Thanks!
Интересный обзор такой работы.
Вышло сделать красиво.
What happened to those pinky finger nails? Great video!
I noticed that I was so lucky that I never found out.
Do you take commissions? (using fine pure silver?)
couldn't you use a crochet hook to grab the loops and pull them through?
The ring is nice but i'd like it even more if there was a way of making it seamless.
The video is helpful and gave me an idea for a design that uses a decorative piece to disguise the seam.
Are you going to share that idea with us? Too !

What kind of wire do you use?
100% silver wire 👍
what guage wire did you use for this ring?
20 gauge
Do you sell these? Where?
I tried to do this and ended up with a two part braid :( trying to figure out what I did wrong
Hello. What gauge wire and is it soft wire or dead hard?
Wire gauge 21and pure silver soft wire. Thanks for watching
What gauge wire is it when you start the braid?
he made the wire with a ingot and a rolling mill, but it looks a little thicker then 1 mm so that would be like 16 gauge. if you are planning to buy wire rather then make it, make sure you have a way to anneal the wire to relax the silver metal and make it not brittle. annealing is like slowly cooking the metal with a torch he does this at 0:09. as you cold work the silver metal it will get stiffer and more brittle the ring was short so not a big deal.
@@Amipotsophspond yes at 0:09 he heats to a red colour then drops into water 💧 to instantly cool...it is now soft again. Ready to be reworked. I was thinking 🤔 of making a Lattice made ring to hold a Cabachon Ruby or Red Coral. Using silver wire...using a wire wrap design I've seen in Pinterest.
Is that fine silver or sterling?
Fine silver
What kind of pliers are at 4:40, please?
Good ring
But easy dirty
You better take that silver ring off your finger sir, before your finger falls off.
I'd get 80% of the way done with the weaving then realzie "wait that dont look right, is it?"
🍪
А что у тебя палец опух от кольца?
What gage wire are you using?
22 gauge
Are you using sterling or fine silver please
Nice silver work. The braid could’ve been tighter so the gaps wouldn’t show.
All I can focus on are the genius fingernails
What gauge is the wire
21 gauge wire
