How to make a silver Celtic knot wrist chain bracelet by using circlip pliers.
Making a tight Celtic knot is easy by using this tool.
I’ve called this a Celtic Knot for great SCO results. It’s more commonly known as a Reef knot, Square knot, Hercules knot, Double knot or a brother hood knot.

Nice, really nice. Time is no object to the Smith with an emotionalized idea in mind. Ive learnt that from you Nick, in a very short period of time watching your videos, week, 10 days perhaps. Probably less in fact. I loose track of time while watching. That is the very point I'm trying to make. Cheers Nick, one day I will buy you a drink and a bite to eat.

cheers John, a totally enthralling hobby to get into. I started with a few basic tools and slowly added to my collection with odd treats from Cooksongold.com also a reputable source for silver material … good luck with it … Nick

@@Nickscreativestuff i already have silver grain on the way, i bought some snake chain and fittings from them as i was gonna make bracelets using resin 3d printed beads, then i found you and it changed everything lol

@Nickscreativestuff 10 ай бұрын

Great fun to be had with casting grain, especially combined with a 3-D printer. I would love to try printing models for casting, however I think it will be just too much for me to learn now … N

@ButtonBasher123 10 ай бұрын

@@Nickscreativestuff if you decide to get one, use a resin printer, the hardest part of that is making sure what ever you create is supported properly and not taking away from quality. im using a 4k printer just thinking on designs as well binge watch your stuff whilst i wait for things to arrive.

@Nickscreativestuff 10 ай бұрын

Marvellous how technology moves on so quickly with resin printers now having the ability to make high resolution items small enough to use for casting jewellery. The only downside is the amount of silver you could get through if you get hooked with techniques like Delft Clay casting. I bought some bronze casting grain from Rio Grande in the US that casts well, looks great and saves the constant use of my precious silver … have fun with your adventures … N

hi Emma thanks for your comment, the three jaw chuck I used to make the small links I found in a secondhand tool shop I think it’s designed to be used with a lathe. The larger chuck i used to make the initial links was salvaged from a broken drill, I made a quick video showing how I put a handle on it … here’s the link if you want to see it …kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsulqtWdp-DciH0.html … cheers Nick

I mostly use a No. 2/0 for this sort of thing however I have another two saw frames set up with a fine blade and course. it also depends on what I have left after breaking the majority of them … N
