    Oh my God, you are so encourager you’re making me literally wanna post my videos of when I was making my paperclip chain. This is so cool. I was just watching the video I made almost a year ago yesterday . It’s a hot mess.😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 I can’t I can’t it’s just too much. It is too much.😆😆😆😆🤣🤣😆😂 maybe one day i’ll take another go at it we’ll see. But you encourage me and you encourage me so much because I’m self taught I teach myself everything I know, including how to read. Thanks again thank you so much for sharing. I’m gonna watch this video again. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟😆😁😁🤣🤣🤣😁🤣 I can’t stop laughing finally got this soldering thing down🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣 I used to think the same thing it’s so funny just only maybe about three weeks ago. I was saying that to myself I’m trying to work on a doggy paw sterling silver pendant and I have to make four toes so I need four basil cups plus one for the paw so I thought I was cool When I was making my basil cups with no problems, I had a bad habit of melting them when I was making them😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😆😆 but I think I got it down now yay 😄👏😄😁

      @@rurusrings I'd be interested in seeing more of the soldering and hammering. I was surprised the rings flattened out so nicely.

    • @rurusrings
      @rurusrings  4 місяці тому +1

      So I legit just twisted it so much that it laid flat. The more you twist the more it starts to bend into a straight flat shape. And then you just hammer it down the chain to give the flattened look.

      I will attempt another chain most likely a bracelet soon and show that part of the process in that video if interested!!

    What hardness is the wire you’re using? Dead soft or half hard?

    • @rurusrings
      @rurusrings  Місяць тому +1

      I will always order dead soft wire just because It’s so easy to reharden and resoften your metal. I just stick to using dead soft also so I don’t get mixed up lol

    Oh dear, I can’t stand it when my links stick the worst is when you melt half the link on top of soldering it too another link, But you’re right I pretty much fix them the same exact way and just replace the melted link, it can take a lot of time making a chain. A lot of people don’t understand that. I’m self taught with pretty much every and anything that I do, however, when I first started thinking about making chains, I thought they would just take a few minutes to put together but no , chains Take a long time to make it could take anywhere from one to three days sometimes depending on the type of chain you’re making, but I love making my chains, I love all arts. 🎭

      It definitely takes a while to make a chain omg it’s a very tedious process!! But the outcome is so worth it!!! I’m glad I’m not the only one that can struggle with the process though, I thought I was just bad at it but realized it truly is a learning experience!! It definitely takes time to learn for sure!! I’d love to see what you make though, do you have any social medias I can check out?
