I'll be honest, I was really high and thought this video was 5 minutes long. I'm now 28 minutes and 9 seconds in and I'm not even mad. Imma wake up early and get some copper wire. So excited.

I'm an electrician by trade and we hand twist wire all the time for wire nuts usually #14 or #12 usually up to 6 wires. when I use larger cables it already comes twisted inside you just have to strip it and it looks just like what you're doing except it doesn't have the counter twist. The largest size I've used personally is 750 MCM THHN. Welding cables will have twists like that too, but much finer. Some of the stuff you're using it's original purposes being industrial like the tubing cutter you bought is a mini tubing cutter is for tight places where a full size tubing cutter will make it easier on you to do your work. A Rigid brand tubing cutter works much better than harbor freight, yeah it's going to cost more but it'll do a better job and do it way easier. The flaring tool has a counter part with a series of holes to open up tubing. Or a flare nut tool might work. All the trades have their own specialized tools to accomplish similar work. You might want to look at machinist tool sites too. I love and recommend Klein tools hand tools, Ridgid for plumbing. Not many of the other trades work with wire but some riggers use steel cables. I have seen tradesmen make little things out of their artistic flare and some things are incredible.

Only thing better than people telling you what you should have done differently is multiple people telling you the same thing over and over again because nobody reads comments before offering up their two cents 😂 This was very informative and enjoyable and I appreciate you taking the time to make a video showing your process.

You are astoundingly skilled! I say this as someone who has performed most of the tasks you demonstrate. You make hard look easy. It is both inspiring and intimidating, but please give us more. I prefer to recognize the inspiring.

I am a potter and I have the same experience in hardware stores (and kitchenware stores) as you do : D Thanks for this tutorial. It looks like a fun way to make lots of good stuff.

I love it, beautiful work well done. I would like to make a suggestion, that instead of using your big white plastic tube to add pressure to widening the end of the tube that covers the raw wires, cut another 2" off from your box of store-bought tubing and place that on top of the endcap and tap that. You will find that it matches the circumference of the end that you are trying to widen and it will give you an even distribution of pressure. Good luck,

I took a 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch thick scrap wood and cut several 3inch squares. Then i drilled same size holes in 2 blocks, took 2 more blocks, drilled larger holes and so on). Rigged it up (somewhat like yours is set up)so I could twist the wires and get same result. Also, my husband is a builder. I visit the job sites and pick up scrap wire/cable from electricians, then take home and strip. Nice copper wire after it’s stripped. I find different guage copper wire. I recommend folks go to job sites and speak with the trades people. They’re great people!! Plumbers pull out older copper lines when remodeling or repairing and replace . And I wholeheartedly agree, get creative, get yourself out of the craft stores (on line too) and into the hardware store -- search out alternative supplies and materials, make your own “tools”. 😃

I have been maintenance for 25+ years. Hats off to you. your tools and techniques are very impressive. Beautiful work. I think I'll have to try something like this. Thank you. All that with copper wire.

Thank you for showing how to make this lovely bracelet with simple tools anyone can afford. That’s where most of us need to begin. I’m not going to go buy a whole set of expensive tools before I even know if I like the craft. This is a good way to test it.🐝🤗❤️

50.08 min of pure relaxation right there. Beautiful work. I really enjoyed that video and learned a few more tricks.

Thank you so much for this fabulous video and your kindness in sharing. Absolutely beautiful results. You are a very talented person. Well done!

Awesome bracelet!! and to open the copper tubing you can use a deep socket the same size as the cap. It would be a much more even spread. I see now that this has been mentioned before but still a great idea.

You created an awesome bracelet. Thank you for your tutorial. I loved seeing how your bracelet was made.

Love all your jewelry projects.

But what a neat and perfect job, is extremely beautiful!!!! 🤩❤👏🦾

Beautiful, a true artist!!

You are a treasure! I love how you improvise to make lovely jewelry

Absolutely amazing love the look always wanted to make jewellery

Wow! That looked like hard work. Lovely result.

Very cool, it's beautiful, great job. I'm going to have to try this one day. You could also nickel plate them since it's copper.

thank you. a very informative video. i thought you needed something like a plumbers torch and to make the wire red hot to anneal it, now makes using the copper wire so much more practical

that's an exceptional talent that you have Ma'am! I enjoyed watching your video making that awesome looking bracelet 😍

Yes it is gorgeous, thanks for sharing you craft.

Beautiful! I would definately wear one of these!

One thing that will help with cutting the tubing is insert the end of a drill bit that fits snuggly, that will keep it from compressing too much. Also, you can swage the end of the tube before cutting the tubing, a drill be can still be inserted before you cut. This just decreases the time needed open up the compressed ends.

Beautiful, and a great teacher!

Simply beautiful you are very talented Your explanation throughout the video is excellent! Kudos to You!!

Wow...that is so nice...have you ever thought about using bullet casings for the ends...very very nice ...you really explain how to make one of the bracelets...and can get the materials from your big box stores...👍 Thank you for the hands on video...💙

Very impressive in many ways. As a photographer, and as a person that appreciates skills that involve our hands, I have to recommend that you have your hands and forearms photographed in black and white so that they can truly be appreciated. You obviously have a creative mind and your hands and forearms are an extension our your mind, therefore, they need to be memorialized. The video is truly impressive, thank you so much for sharing your mind and craft.

I really enjoyed this video. Good job at explaining the process. I learned from you a few good tips.

WOW... that is amazing.... I stumbled upon this video, no clue what to expect, and could NOT stop watching!!!! I sent your link to my friend's wife who has expressed interest in making these... excellent work!!

First time watching your channel and is inspiring. I like it when people can create stuff using normal things and imagination. A couple of alternative ideas if I may: - You can use the drilling machine to work the bolts and the tubes. ( the screws can be nicely cut and filed down to the right size using the power drill and a file) - You can use the vice to hold the metal rod used to enlarge the tube. Then using a piece of a tube of the same size you can hammer it on the entire circumference at once. 👍

I have no intention of making any bracelet but I really enjoyed watching your video. Very good instruction.

Amazing result. Thanks for being so thorough in this video. Always liked this type for bracelet. Didn't realize mere mortals can make things like this. Now to pick up the tools and get to work. I have a lot of pure silver wire that are crying to be made into a bracelet. May add gem stones to the ends.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your art with the world.

You brought a tear to an old electricians eye my dear.

Though I am not into jewelry , I thank you for confirming my thoughts on the Dies for twisting copper wire for Lightning ⚡ Rods and other applications.

Such a lovely lady! I love your passion and how you find solutions to issues you in counter. Loved watching your video..

Very nice. Another skillset has been added to my portfolio thanks to you.

Love your work!! 👍 Great job!!

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge . Big Gratitude!

As a recently retired tool and diemaker, you've given me some good ideas for what to do with all the scrap electrical wire that was left at my house by the previous owner.

Love, Love, Love this bracelet. Your awesome

Great informative video, in addition to being very clever and creative….your a very good teacher! Well done 👍

Your work is very satisfactory and thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and skills. 😃 there will be many tool experts and with technical knowledge. what matters is that you enjoy doing

Very nice, excellent presentation, and a beautiful piece of jewelry. Thank you so much for sharing your talents :)

Beautiful bracelet! Thanks for a very informative video :)

She is great mother I think .she is like fix it nowww😍😍😍

Wow! This is so awesome!

Turned out pretty cool!

Beautiful work!

Impressive Product. Great Tutorial.

Beautiful!

Very Cool! I have made my own Torc before seeing this. I want to try this now. Note: A Torc is a Celtic cultural and spiritual piece of jewelry. Vikings heavily valued and eventually appropriated torques into their own cultural identity. They were just another thing that the Vikings stole/borrowed from Celtic culture (ie. knot artwork zoomorphs). For warriors, Torcs symbolized freedom and were connected to the belief that decapitation allowed a soul to leave the body and reach Celtic Heaven. It was worn around the neck. Often bracelets were fashioned in a similar form, but do not have the same significance in Celtic culture.

Beautiful.. thanks for sharing

Great work. Inspiring. I know I can't do that as it looks like a "lot" of work but I enjoy watching.

NICE JOB, WELL DEMONSTRATED, AND ABOVE ALL MADE SIMPLE, THANK YOU

Love it, gotta try it out one day, Thank ya !!!!!!

That looks like it could come in very handy!

Just beautiful!!!!

Absolutely beautiful bracelet and excellent work. An idea could be to use copper pipe caps as they should fit over the tubing as is allowing you to skip the swaging. Also a safety concern for me was the gloves being worn around rotary power tools though I'm glad nothing happened. Keep up the awesome work👍

Nice artwork.

congratulations, absolutely beautiful

Thank you for showing this I enjoyed the video your an inspiration

I’m a metal sculpture artist. You did an excellent video. I twist steel wire that has been manufactured annealed for concrete rebar fastening I use a shop made jig similar to yours out of tool steel. And twist with a heavy duty drill. While being pulled back with ratchet strap. Very close to your technique but just bigger. I do wire from 18 ga upto 6 mm in 2 - 5 wire twist. Used for table accents. Jewelry trees. Wine bottle holders. You have inspired me to make some bracelets. Thanks. Ls

I really enjoyed your video good job very thorough telling us how to do it thank you very much keep up the good work. 😎

Great video admire your work

Great skill Great jewellery

Very good presentation. Thankyou, and best of luck to you!

I get all the comments I've done these bracelets myself im just a self taught metalsmith...& retired social worker.. anyways the screws are an awesome touch thank you so much for your wonderful video.

It's weird how most of these comments feel the need to add their 2cents on how to do it better. Just let the lady show u what's up, that's all. This was totally inspiring. Your shop has a lot of everything to offer. Great to street vendors like me. Thanks.

Beautiful thanks for sharing

Nice work

wow i love it ! 😍 you're very detailed 🥰👍🏼

This is ingenious!

Very good, it's beautiful.

Woooow que gran arte el tuyo... Es hermoso y fascinante 😱😱😍😍. Gracias por compartir y abracitos de colores desde Colombia!!! 🤗🤗🤗🇨🇴🥰

thats a beautiful bracelet

I work a lot with rope, strings and all sort of things..But damn I am up for this.. Looks great! 🤩👍

Habe es zuende geschaut, ehrlich gesagt, wegen der wirklich schönen Hände in ihrer Tätigkeit - das war noch viel interessanter, als die 'Biegerei' ...

beautiful work. Great video, thanks a lot :)

Nice idea great results

Grazie,delicata e molto professionale. Complimenti 👍

good video. everything is told in an accessible language. Thank

Brilliant. Thank you so much.

Loved watching this as a knifemaker. A lot of overlap in certain areas. Would suggest that a 1x30 belt grinder and a dremel with a cutting wheel would save you a lot of time cutting and prepping ends for epoxying. They’re both a great addition to any small shop. Beautiful piece, thank you for sharing!

Great job lady 👍

Hermoso Sra Gracias por su conocimiento y paciencia , FELIZ DIA GRACIAS,GRACIAS ,GRACIAS

stumbled here, this was EXACTLY the kind of thing i was looking for! I'm going to use this guide as inspiration, but i've been starting to work with wire more... this looks amazing!
