Howdy folks. We are Bryan and Andrea, and we run Amuck. We are designers and makers. We are metal smiths, and travelers. We love doing things nobody would expect us to do, and we're gonna take you along for the ride. There will be videos from the metals studio, videos about whittling, travel, tools we use, maybe even some how-to videos, and videos about things we haven't even thought of yet.
Have a lovely Day!

Could you give us the specifics on the size of the cord you are using and the size and gauge of the tubing please? Is it heavy walled tubing?? Love the tutorial but need the specs.
@@maurschmidtz the cords I used in this video were an 8mm and a 5.5mm diameter. You would then need tubing whose inside diameter was close to this. Heavy or thin walled tubing is purely your choice as to what weight you’d like your tips to be.
Amazing!
Wat is that bowl and rocks apparatus called that you used to solder???
@@TheInfraredzone it’s called an annealing pan with pumice.
2:24 hey question, what tools are being used for this part?
@@12Marxzero34 it’s a disc cutter that I bought at Harbor Freight.
Thanks! I’ve been accumulating gear for metal smithing. It started with me just watching videos of guys melting cans and pouring bars. Now, a couple days ago, I just dropped around $1k on a high end roller mill. It’s always a conundrum to know if I should spend on the high priced items and be assured I’m getting quality or buying the cheap Chinese knockoff that often can accomplish the job (provided you can assemble it with no instructions) but can also be totally dysfunctional garbage. Having experienced smiths share tool recommendations can be very helpful, provided they aren’t paid promotions for Chinese trash.
@@darrenstettner5381 ooh congrats on the rolling mill! That is definitely an item to go high quality on, you won’t regret that.
Your video help me thanks
Love the tool tips. I wonder if I could use the pin vice as a type of holder for lock pick tips, he use it for like a daily driver where I could swap My tips if needed
@@kalebhatton8928 you might be able to do that, it would be a nice handle for lock picks.
Enjoyed going on the shopping trip with you.
@@Nancy4133nope thank you. I’m still carrying around my tiny bits I bought in my purse😆 should pull those out today and see what they will turn into.
@@amuckdesign love it we all have our treasures lol
This is really so beautiful, I love your style. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for the great video, though I must say Victor stole the show!❤
@@HerefordGal ha! He sure did, he’s the sweetest little guy.
Thank you so much for sharing your process. For a self-taught, beginner silversmith such as myself this kind of tutorial is like gold! Question: wouldn’t it be a bit easier to join your links before soldering? Or is there a reason for soldering first? Thanks again for freely sharing your knowledge and process. Your calm demeanor and straightforward technique is easy to watch and follow along with. 😊
@@amccaffrey1443 oh thank you, I appreciate that feedback.😀 mainly I solder first so that I can stretch all the links. You could definitely stretch them though still if you soldered together as round jump rings.
❤
They are not really round. How do I make them round
@@Saywhatohno no, they definitely aren’t perfectly round. I haven’t figured out a good way to accomplish that.
@@amuckdesign I saw where some people make 2 squares and then solder them together and then use a gear wheel to make them round lol the issue is the gear wheel lol don’t know where to get that
@@Saywhatohno interesting, I’ve not seen that. I’m sure there’s a few tricks to getting them round, I’ll have to do some more investigating myself.😀
Do you sell your copper tips?
@@BigBenzBizarreBazaar I don’t, but that might be something to think about.
Enjoyed meeting you and your husband at Sparks. I was one of the guys that was sitting at the picnic table while you had your lemonade, quizzing you about what you do.... As I mentioned, I have great respect for people that create things with their hands, so I had to subscribe. Maybe we'll see you there again next year.
@@kevinchura9913 it was so fun talking to you as well!!!
That tray was very cool. Did you get it?
@@paulacorte3912 no, I left that one behind for someone else.
What is that device called to make their circles I try to look at it on Amazon. I can’t find it. I need the name. Thank you
@@melissasolis5370 search for round disk cutter set.
What press are you using?
@@jobi765 it’s a very old Bonny Doon 20 ton manual press.
@amuckdesign thank you for letting me know. You rock!
Thank you very much for this serie😊👍 It's going to be great help for my project of squash blossom! I'm preparing it but I would need an advice please😅 What kind of silver beading wire do you use? I guess it must be very strong to deal with all the silver and turquoises.... Many thanks for France🙏
@@emiro8421 you’re very welcome. I’ll look up the chain that I use and post the size/item# tomorrow.
@@amuckdesign thank you!
@@emiro8421 I like using the sterling round foxtail chain for stringing these heavier beads. On RioGrande’s website it is item number 612262B. It comes in a few different mm sizes.
@@amuckdesign thank you very much! 😊👍
I have some round nose pliers like those and I have never seen any others with such a long "nose". They were my very first round nose pliers and remain my favorite. Thanks for this great video.
So helpful!! Thank you ❤❤
I love these. Thank you for showing us this.
@@kristibbradshaw my pleasure to share with you.😀
Where do i get the metal tubing?
@@sandycalderone I order mine from Rio Grande.
@@sandycalderone sandy, I’ll double check the item number this afternoon of the one I use most. The tubing size will also depend on your bolo cord diameter.
@amuckdesign yes, thank you. And thx fir the quick replies
😭😭 thank you for existing!! Its so hard to find this sort of explanation style anymore- when its just, like, just explaining like u were just hanging out with someone in person 😭 it makes it so much easier to feel like im part of a bigger community as opposed to the videos that sacrifice quality for the sake of 'the algorithm, or the ones that are just kind of ads for craft stores n such, if that makes sense 😅
@@1star_god thank you so much!!! Your comment makes me feel so much better about an online/live class I’ll be teaching this Fall.😀
That rotating soldering platform is clever. What was the stuff you were spraying on the stack of beads? Thanks for showing how to do this. I recently tried making oblong beads, and made a mess of it. You make round beads seem almost possible for me, the amateur. Edit - Never mind - I read answers to my questions in the comments. Thanks!
@@beowoofthemoviestar thank you, I love being able to rotate my pieces. It’s flux in a spray bottle.
Beautiful ring!!
@@gjk540 thank you!!
Great idea with the silver tape!
@@gjk540 saves some wear and tear on your hands for sure.😀
Do you know how to order from bear skull? Is there a website. He hasn’t been active on instagram in months and doesn’t respond to his messages. Thx✌️
@@Mockingjay-e1t I’m not sure anymore myself. I hope he’s ok, I’ve also noticed that he’s not been active on instagram or Facebook in months.
@@amuckdesign ya I was wondering the same thing. Hope he is ok also, and thanks for getting back to me appreciate it :)
Yes would love conical bolo tip tutorial please
@@TheTaliswoman check out the video called bolo tip with bead, it shows how to make the conical tips.😀 thanks for watching!!!
Very cool, thanks!
@@MariaSanchez-i3b you’re welcome, thank you so much for watching.😊
Yes copper and silver look really good together. Thank you!
I was not sure what you were making, by the end it was quite satisfying.
@@mindseyeproductions8798 thank you.😃 I’m constantly trying to come up with new ways to display my work.
What wire gauge works best for this method?
I like using an 18 gauge round wire.
@@amuckdesign Thank you!
This is so awesome it definitely deserves more attention
These are so original! I love it
@@imilkbongs thank you! I can’t unsee tail feathers 😂
Brilliant all around ! 🙌🏼
Thank you 🙌
Thanks for the video. I like the technique of using the pliars to open the jump ring into an oval. Would it not be easier to wrap around an oval former?
It would be easier if you happen to have an oval former.
Awesome, thanks for the vid. I will be making some tomorrow just as you've showed!
Have fun making your tips!!
Thank you!❤
Love the mixed metals - beautiful!🩷
Thank you! I thought they came out really pretty with the mixed metals too.
Yes please make more bolo tip designs! I love bolos and have a vintage collection and wear them often. Thanks for the video lesson❤
Oh cool!! I’ll bet that’s a fun collection.
Very nice...!!!
Thank you so much
You’re very welcome, thank you so much for watching.😀
Oh my gosh takes so long to make. I never knew this. You have a great talent.
Thank you so much! I really have to psyche myself up in order to make a batch for sure.😄
Love this
Thanks Angela!😀
Perfect!
That’s a lot of skulls!😮💀
A full morning of cutting.💀
That’s so cool! I especially love the noise that the silver ingot makes when it pops out of the roll mill. 😅
Isn’t that hilarious!!😂
You are so good at this! Mine came out with wonky seams. Practice makes perfect
They can definitely be tricky!
Thanks for the new video:) May I ask ask you a question? I’m trying to make large fat links for a necklace. I’m using 9g 1/2 round and no matter what I do including using the nylon tipped pliers and still I can’t stop from marring the links. I’m trying to get them to meet perfectly so they’ll solder nicely but in trying to manipulate the tight dimensions of the rings they get really mucked up. I have also tried annealing them after cutting them. Is there a trick to this?
Unfortunately I don’t have a recommendation beyond what you’re already doing. I always have a little cleanup of the metal rings myself.
@@amuckdesignokay, yeah, I’m doing the same thing. The thicker the wire the tougher it is the bend it to where it is seamless eh? Thank you so much for responding:)your videos are really so helpful. I appreciate them very much.
@@Shukarr yeah definitely gets more difficult with heavier gauges. Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment.😃
I like the bolo tie but it's rarely worn in the northeastern US. Thanks for the share and i'll give it a try.
I like them too, I just wore one the other day rather than grabbing my usual necklaces.😀
