    Thanks for the great video. Are you able to bend copper and brass as well with both of those tools? and if so, what is the thickest gauge you are able to do this with? thanks!

    Thank you for this hint, I've never thought of taking it on however I keep buying them for my family and friends... so I am going to just do it myself.

    How thick would the metal need to be for this to make a bracelet?

      I used 14 gauge aluminum for this one. It's my favorite. Here's my affiliate link. I get them on Etsy: rstyle.me/+WB7oS5RsHst2JErwtXeflQ

    Thanks for the tips. Someone gave me a metal stamping set and I wasn't sure how to do this.

    Thank you for the video. I think this will help me along with my project. It involves bending jewelry.

    Can you use that on sterling silver? What gauge is that in the video?

      Thanks for watching! I’ve never used sterling silver blanks but I’m sure it would work. I believe I was using 14 gauge in this video. It’s been a while!

    Thank you so much for the video! I’m curious, could you possibly show us what each of the bracelets look like? I’m looking into buying a bending tool but am not sure which one I would prefer without seeing what the bracelets look like on.

    Thank you for this tutorial, was very helpful! Wanted to ask if you is difficult to make a bracelet blank with channels? Can you do that tutorial?

    You must be using something like aluminium as it's not exhibiting any spring back after being bent, I tried 925 Silver and it springs back about half way making it impossible to attain the intended bend with this tool.

      Yes, I used 14 gauge aluminum for this project. I've never tried sterling.

    How do you keep the bracelet from bending more? I want to start selling my own but I feel like they move so easily

    • @Ducttapeanddenim

      I feel like 14 gauge is thick enough to bend easily with the tools or my hands but not so thin that it will just randomly bend while I'm wearing it.

      Enrique Padilla She said in a comment that the metal stamps she used for the word Mom are about a 1/4 of an inch. The metal stamp sets I have seen run from 1.5mm to 10mm. You can Google metal stamp sets. Some stores that sell metal stamps are Michaels (craft store) michaels.com beaducation.com beadholique.com impressart.com and you can also find them in Etsy shops on line.

    Would the pliers work with flattened spoons

      I think you'd need something stronger for silverware.

      14 gauge aluminum is my favorite and the easiest to work with.

      jr Garcia To stamp the letters, she used metal stamps. You can Google metal stamp sets

      I used a set of metal stamps that my daughter found at an antique shop.
