Turning a copper pipe into a ring? It's possible. Follow the video to learn how to recycle old materials and turn them into something amazing.
Want to learn more about making jewelery? I recommend this book found on amazon: amzn.to/2vOeXyB It really helped me with technique and learning how to manipulate the metal!

don't file work on a ring mandrel as it will mar the tool. These scratches will get transferred to later work. Put the ring in a ring holder and brace it against the bench pin when filing.

I just recently got into ring making and don't have a ring holder so I just use old sockets lol

@TristanBehrens Жыл бұрын

Can I ask why you didn't just cut a band from the ring and just use that rather that flattening and reshaping it, or is it purely due to the diameter of the pipe?

Wow, great job, a lot of work goes into one ring.

@geminaljane 2 жыл бұрын

if you heat up the metal and then brush with a wire brush WHILE hot it'll go by a lot faster, get the scale off. also copper can be worked hot or cold and if you anneal it, some of the black will come off from quenching too.

@garymyers6638 2 жыл бұрын

If you heat it up and quench it, the structure will move better and the quenching removes most of the crud for you.

Ultrasonic cleaners often just have soapy water in them and use sound waves to dislodge hard to reach peices of contamination. They are often used to clean glassware in laboratories.

How cool❤ had to buy an expander to try my self... but the copper keeps breaking😢 why is that? Im using a 15mm copper that I need to expand to 17.6mm is the strech to much, or am i dooing something else wrong? Hope someone can enlighten me❤

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 3 жыл бұрын

Mandrel, jewelers saw, small butane torch, copper solder, third hand, ceramic plate, sand paper, and polishing cloth is all you need. Could easily fit in a small tote

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 11 ай бұрын

Yes, when bare copper is exposed to the elements it's will oxidize to a greenish/black color. That has the possibility of staining you skin. It can be avoided by putting a clear coat finish on the copper prior to wearing any of the jewelry
