How to make a silver Celtic knot chain by using circlip pliers.
Making a tight Celtic knot is easy by using this tool.
If you enjoy my video please "like it" and help me get it seen.
I appreciate comments and feedback below any video, it's great to have some connection with viewers, or if you have any questions about my videos that I may be able to help with.
I managed to miss out a crucial bit of information in the video for making this chain and that is the small link wire diameter i used being 1.3 mm.
Also please consider subscribing to my channel to see my new videos and to give me a big fat smile … here's a link you can click …

Thanks Nick. I haven't ever made chain. This looks intriguing and satisfying , and i will make one once i have finished my other projects that are waiting for elements so they can be completed.

Recently started making jewelry and still looking for the “one” thing that really defines me. I watch a lot of how to videos to learn and I have to say I love watching you make the Celtic knot. I could never make my own chains (not that patient) but yours is beautiful. Thanks for sharing so newbies like me can see how it’s done.

hi Shelley thanks for your lovely comment, suppose everybody is a newbie once. Over the years I’ve learnt a lot from the KZfaq community, so it’s now nice to be able to give a bit back. Patience is a virtue when making chainmail. One thing I do have a lot of … probably learnt from my dad who encouraged us to join in with family 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzles when we were kids … all the best … Nick

I have to say this.... truly hand crafted jewelry instead of machine made and casted, is much more beautiful, and I would add, more valuable than what other "jewelers" create and sell in bulk. The jewelry may be pretty at the end, but the time, energy, and creativity you put into the jewelry you make is so much more beautiful. 👏🏼 I hope and pray that one day I'll be able to make jewelry like this as well. Metalworking is Awesome!

the visual exposition is so totally on-point. every action in every shot communicates something. even when you're annealing, you repeatedly show examples of what the silver looks like at the proper heat. straight up, i will be able to make this from memory when i get around to it.

Very nice and pretty. Also I like that there's not any music, it's just quiet and work sounds.

Thanks for that Anjairis, I don’t find it easy getting quality work sounds especially when half of it is filmed on the dinner table with household clatter going on all around. Music seems to be the easy option most of the time … N

I didn’t realise you could tumble polish silver like that. This a very useful video thank you!

hi Jasmine, yes it’s a very easy way to polish stuff just throw it in and wait. The only problem being it can take a long time, minimum 4 hours. cheers … Nick

@@Nickscreativestuff I don’t mind the wait or the noise (I’m deaf lol) thanks for the info though. The finish is amazing! I need to try this! 😊

there is a few different mediums that can be used for polishing, I use a very small stainless steel shot, it’s great for getting into all the nooks and crannies of a fine chain. … N

@@Nickscreativestuff how would it fair for working with fine silver 99.99? Do you know? I love all things silver, working with different gauge wires etc eventually I want to get into casting rings, pendants and clasps etc. I too use a knitting needle for making links!! I love creating things. Looks like you have a real flare for it! I found how many times you stretched and annealed particularly interesting. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

hi Jasmine, A tumble polisher works well for sterling silver, fine silver, golds, bronze, brass and copper although never to mix them in one tumble. The other thing not not to mix is heavy items with delicate items. Otherwise you can get a lot done in one go. i’ve not done much with fine silver but I find sterling work hardens very quickly and needs constant annealing. I to have true love for creativity and couldn’t imagine life without it … all the best … Nick
