- After previously making a silver bead chain I want to make another one by delft clay casting silver beads this time.
In my first video “making a silver beads chain” I showed how I assembled the beads into a wrist chain, so i’ve not included that in this video it’s more about delft clay casting silver beads.
If you’d like to see how I assembled the silver bead chain, here’s a link to the original video.

Awesome! Your videos are fantastic, and your creativity is unparalleled. Thank you for sharing your ideas and talent. A+++++
thanks for your heart felt comment Stepjam, all good fun and a pleasure to make … cheers … Nick
I live in Delft. We don't cast silver beads that much here. Great video though!
cheers bottleOfCoke, well I hope your town is as fabulous as this clay … N
You are so talented Nick!!! Would you consider making me one of the casting that you use for beads??? Of course, I would pay you????? Going back to watch the video ❤❤❤, Michelle
hi Michelle thanks for your comment, sorry but I don’t sell stuff I’m just here for the fun of it. however I’m sure somebody local to you could make what you need if you ask around. most makers are happy to help if they can … good luck with it … Nick
Thanks 😊 you make som stønning videos, easy to follow Nice music 😊😊
Thanks Line, glad you like them. I’ve slowed down a bit lately but i’m still at it. I used to struggle choosing music but have now learned to just go with what grabs me … cheers … Nick
( 🤔 A pencil sharpener?[!!]…)
Only state of the art tools Sedgewise … cheers … Nick
Awesome. Were there no bent-nose pliers available? Love the modification! 👍👏
Thanks Raffinata, found these pliers in Lidl’s limited tool range at only £3. Cheaper than a coffee out … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff That was a buy. 👍
always like a bargain 👍😎👍 … N
Dude, you're a clever and crafty dude :D I like it!
Thanks Anjairis, I thoroughly enjoy time spent playing in my creative space … N
Another Excellent production!😊
thanks a lot LTD, a lot quicker than one at a time … N
Hi Nick, this is fabulously inspiring, thank you so much - I want to ask if you could work with Argentium for a while, it reaches temperature much more quickly than silver, but looks less hot, it is fragile and brittle when hot and mustn't be touched till all pinkness has gone. It is always recycled. A very creative and perpetually self-fusing alloy. But, I am cautious due to extra expense, limited resources and lack of confidence and my equipment doesn't come close to the stuff you have 😬
Hi Viv thanks for your comment and suggestion. i’ve been looking forward to trying Argentium however I’ve been resisting investing any more in silver as I still have the majority of a kilo of fine grain still to play with. I bought a bar many years ago when it was a lot cheaper than it is today. What I have in stock cost me just less than 60p a gram and turning it into sterling saves a little bit more. I do you feel privileged having a double garage that I can fill with tools and equipment to my hearts content … good luck with your endeavours … N
@@Nickscreativestuff omg, you didn't need to explain in such detail, your circumstances are your business, but thank you for getting back to me. I really enjoy your videos, love this solid silver chain, and really struggling to cut the hole in the side of my aluminium casting thing. I drilled as many holes as I could but still having to get the saw round - nightmare!
I think it’s strange that those aluminium casting rings don’t come with a pre-drilled hole in the side, it seems so obvious to have and necessary.
I use a vertical cast set up much more often than horizontal. it’s also much more economical with the clay as accessing the burnt portion to discard is a lot easier as the mould opens cleanly … have fun … N
Those are wonderful ❤❤❤, Michelle
👍😎👍 … N
Thats more ideas your giving me Nick, ive never tried casting with Delft although i bought some Christmas baubles for the tree last time i was there. It is a lovely place to spend time. I really dont onow when im going to get started with the jewellery, i think im just going to have to allot some days per week and do it that way. Im itvhing to get going again but the 50tonne is arriving soon so. Hope your doing well mate and are all prepped for Christmas.👍
you’ll have to give Delft Clay a go, real gold baubles would look nice and glam on your tree. 50 tons of wood to deal with give me back ache just thinking about it these days. By allocating Mondays and Tuesdays to jewellery making i’ve got all my pressies finished and wrapped already.
Now only need to think about buying a turkey … have a good one … Nick.
@@Nickscreativestuff I have a 2.5 tonne digger with a claw so that helps a lot, goose for me turkey for everyone else. Looking forward to seeing my 2 year old granddaughters face on Christmas morning. Looking unlikely to be a white Christmas in the Highlands. I wouldn't have to travel far to see some as Been Wyvis was covered last week. I can see it on the other side of the Firth and I'm glad I'm warm by the fire.😃
nothing quite as satisfying as having appropriate tools for a big job. goose, fire, snow, kids and Christmas … all sounds very appropriate and festive … stay cozy … N
How can I shut off the music and watch the same time
Hi catherine, you can use the volume button on your device … N
i am always in awe.
cheers jsl … N
Loved the way you made those beads.
Thanks Comic Book Library, Delft Clay is a great product to experiment with … N
Omg wow I never k ew we could cast at home so easily! This has just blown my creative into a firework of possibilities! You know how the pearl is the IT item for men right now at around choker size. You could make a 6mm solid silver all ball chain . This has seriously blown my mind I thought we would need a lot of expensive equipment like a plugged in furnace etc I have already ordered some crucible tongs and a few graphite moulds as I will be wanting to recycle all my scrap from my making anyway. And from what I can see I would only need to purchase delft sand some flasks and baby powder the rest I have already woohoo thank you for sharing. Kirt
Delft Clay is a really nice product to use, it gets a bit obsessive trying to perfect designs and results. it’s definitely a cheap version of casting compared to other options however it is greedy for scrap metal and it quickly uses up all the bits and bobs that have been saved up for awhile. a large torch is important to help get the metal up to temperature reasonably quickly although tiny bowl crucibles are available from cousinsuk.com allowing smaller castings to reach temperature a lot easier … N
@Nickscreativestuff yeah I noticed you use a fan brush I gotta set of small little brushes. And small crucibles so I should be fine. Yeah I noticed this particular way of casting seams the most cost effective from what I have seen already
can be a little rustic at times, not as refined as vacuum or centrifugal casting … N
@Nickscreativestuff rustic is still a neon sign almost of handmade !
very true and well said … I much prefer it … N
You are doing great my friend
Thanks Bob … all good fun … N
Fantastic Nick. You certainly are creative. I love your tool modification - brilliant idea ❤
Thanks for that Annette, i’ve been needing some crucible tongues for a long time … couldn’t resist having a go when I saw these cheap in Lidl’s … N
Wonderful!
Thanks Tanya … N
Awesome, especially liked the polishing of the beads!
Cheers Wanda, having the beads contained on a piece of wire certainly helps prevent them flying and disappearing halfway across the workshop … N
cool
Thanks Sheila … N
Pekná práca...
👍😎👍 … N
It's too hot here to be out in the shed, so it's nice to see your sweet tool mods. Hope you are happy and well Nick.
thanks for that Jirup, too hot to be out in the shed … I wish … rather cold and damp here … hoping for a white Christmas … have a good one … Nick
I love that bluesy music. Great video, very creative.
Thanks for that Sherri, it’s not an easy process to choose music, I’ve had to learn to just use a track if it grabs me … N
Do you sell your multi hole mold frames?
Hi A S, sorry but I don’t. Being A hobbyist I’ve never sold anything on the Internet … N
Beautiful ❤❤❤
👍😎👍 … N
