You'll have to try that for yourself its easy to do with some practice. Just use a hot glue gun with your chosen colour glue to put a small bead at the ends of your work.
Yes it looks really messy and I must admit I was not best pleased when it happened. The thing about solder is it won't stick unless the metal is the right temperature and has flux on it to stop oxidisation. Then a bond at a molecular level can be formed. The metal at that place was cold and had no flux. As I removed the work from the vice it simply fell off, much to my delight ! That event was removed in the edit.
I dont believe Tin is poisonous! Lead is if ingested. I used Lead free solder. On the other hand copper can be deadly when badly corroded and ingested! The key to survival is DON'T EAT MY BRACELET ! 🤢😵💫
Sorry I don't check the gauge. Made from scrap mains cable may be 1 or 1.5 mm . Heavier wire harder on the fingers. My grandchildren can plat with 1mm copper. If you want to use heavier wire than you can handle, heat up to red hot plunge in cold water. This will soften but also tarnish and will need more work on the wire wheel. Mind your fingers! May also need hardening before polishing on the wire wheel. To do this heat to red hot and cool slowly. You can clean with acid but I will leave someone else to comment on that.
Thanks Jeff for the correction. Pure copper wont harden by heating and cooling slowly. Certain copper alloys can however but i understand it's a slow process.
@@jonathanjonjon2871 I may be wrong myself... I just heard about kiln hardening silver by heating it to 500ish and holding it there for dome time and letting it slowly get to room temperature. It may work for copper too? So I apologize if I am wrong on that.
Unfortunately I'm moving house so work shop all packed up. If you have some copper wire make a spring , soften it and try hardening it again by that method . it may simply be the environment it is aloud to cool in. I believe aluminium is hardened to make engine bearings by allowing it to cool in certain gasses . Let me know how it goes Jeff.
Sorry you've been Iritated I unfortunately not in control of the rain. As for the camera, work when you've made another 2 videos you might even become as good as me!
@@jonathanjonjon2871blame it on the weather? 🤣😂🤣😂 And your dog ate your homework too, huh? 🤣😂🤣😂 I don't mean to make you mad. I just can't figure out how you expect us to listen to that?
Love the sound of the rain in the background and you working at the bench. I'm a metal artist myself and this is where I'm the happiest.
Vi love the simplicity of this and the basic tools needed for an amazing result 👏👏👏
Glad you liked it!
I liked that method, no annealing necessary hence a tough, clean end result.
lo ideal sería sacarle brillo antes de darle la forma de la muñeca, para facilitar el brillo interno.
There are a lot of ideals this guy missed. 😢😅
You mentioned in your comments about melting a plastic bead on the end. I would like to see what that looks like.

Love this How do you keep it from discoloring your skin? TYFS
6:10 This copper is so hard it must be steel that is coated with copper. Copper is healthy for the skin.
I don't
That is not steel. Copper in electrical cable is not annealed. It is work hardened and the hammering hardens it further.@@lenny108
Different types wire 2 copper 1 brass visa/versa 2 brass 1 st/steel mix it up
make a wire roller if your into it
1 end make a snake head the idea's r coming
Very nice
How did you remove the solder that fell inside the bracelet? There was no sign of it in the wire brushing segment.

Ill have to try this! Its sure pretty.. What guage wire did u use?
Might be 2mm
Best one for me, no fire
😇thak you
You can't really unless you lacquer it.
Buena la pulsera 👍 lo MALO QUE LO SolDo Con Estaño es malo para la salud es tóxico..

Any concern about the lead from the solder making contact with the skin?
No . I used lead free solder.

How many watts does the soldering iron have?
Not sure probably 50 watt.
suddenly starts hammering on wire at least 4 time as big...
Deberías de poner medidas del alambre
Very fragile! It deforms very easily and is unstable on the hand.
Why not use copper solder?
Yes I do sometimes. Other times I melt a plastic bead on the end , Makes it look real pretty!
Muito bonito
Slmt siang bisa pesan bang d buatkan gelang
So much easier if you were to use a small propane, or butane torch for your soldering, just saying.
Yeah , Only have a big one.
What gauge of wire are you using?

@@jonathanjonjon2871 you can't harden copper by heating it up and letting it cool slowly. You "harden" it by working it... bending, hammering, etc.

Could fast forward
I can't decide what's more irritating, the background noise or the bad camera work. 😢
