hi Lisa, i’ve made a few bracelets out of 6mm silver tube, in my next video I was going to show how i make silver balls for finishing ends. The balls attached to the old silver cuff in this video are 8.5 mm diameter … have fun … Nick

For those whos skin my turn green ans dont want a copper patina Try using UV resin on your copper jewelry coat a few thin layers of uv resin over the copper jewelry it keeps that beautiful copper color and it doesnt turn you skin green. This will last a very long time I have a ring that I coated in UV resin never turned my skin green kept its color and its been aprox 7 yrs now still going good

@Nickscreativestuff 10 ай бұрын

thanks for that unknown, always good to read new tips and tricks that I’ve not come across before. UV resin being a modern product is probably much more superior than the old-fashioned beeswax treatment … cheers for that … Nick.

Would that cutter work on thick wire?

@Nickscreativestuff Жыл бұрын

Hi Ha Ha, The tool I’m using is a cheap plumbers pipe cutter, I broke one of these before by being a bit over enthusiastic with it. so I’m not sure if it would cut through solid wire maybe if you were gentle and slow with it. I suppose it would give you a nice straight scoreline that you could use to finish cutting with a saw blade … Nick

98% of the so called copper bracelet people have got it wrong. All you have to do is use metal open "ring" copper wire or flat aluminum/Brass strip with overlapping end edges that don't touch, by your means. It's not rocket science. The resulting spiral acts as an antenna that concentrates weak high frequency energies that energizes live cells within the open enclosure area. You can also look up the old research. My old dog had #10 gauge bare copper wire spiral on neck with 1 1/4 " overlap and tiny plastic block separator + good tape. This was tested 2 times 3 months apart. Each time, the next day the beagle went nuts full of energy, waiting to get out of kennel and RUN. His neck arthritis seemed to be better. There is no BIAS - an animal or plant can't say - Gee I think I feel better! It either works or it doesn't on them. Lakhovski put passive ring spiral on potted plants with cancer. They flourished with the lump that dropped off into pot. The control plants died. Like I said check out the old references for yourself . The active type unit was electrically battery operated vibrator hooked to ignition coil to 2 special flat spiral antennas that subject sets in between with no metal on person. Modern MWO Multi Wave Oscillator versions are expensive. After several people with facial cancer were healed, US sent Lakhovski back to Europe from the NY city office in 1950. (no prescription drugs were used) Clement was his assistant that published the pamphlet The Waves That heal.////,,,
