I thoroughly enjoy chain making, I find it very satisfying … if you would like to see more of my silver chain making videos here’s a playlist you can watch ua-cam.com/play/PLYHMxIHcYj0aPFwHAV7p4pkxeraaY6hGZ.html … cheers … Nick
Love the Music ....!!!!!!👌
thanks Sergio, this video looks rather dated these days, frightful VoiceOver. Some people have said they don’t like my taste in music so I now prefer making voiceless videos that can have the sound turned off if you don’t like it … cheers … Nick
Love this design! Thanks for the informative video.
thanks SK … bit of an old video now, makes me cringed hearing my voice over … N
Hi Nick. Just made the first knott with copper using your jig design. Worked well.
Cheers
cheers Jim, Nice to hear people have a go with what I show … glad it worked, its a very versatile technique … have fun … Nick
Thank you for your videos. I seen Thanks I’ve never seen before. Your videos are very helpful to amateurs like myself..... new subscriber
I never would’ve thought a year ago I would enjoy making videos about making stuff as much as being in the Workshop playing with ideas. creativity moves in mysterious ways … Nick
you should check out magnetic clasps. i prefer them for the stuff i make
thanks for your suggestion Katrina, i’ll check that out. i’ve struggled with clasps in the past … N
I've Subscribed to your channel and also liked the videos, Sorry but I dont share videos.
but whenever I have time I prefer watching only...
just to grab some ideas,
i don't copy others in the same manner they did there job done...
I apply the idea in other items.......
Suneel Kanda from India Agra
Great vid - I learnt stuff and the tunes were fun too. Totally achievable project
Great to hear! really nice to read peoples comments
Lovely work
Thanks again for your feedback
Hi,
I've just seen the video, Its Interesting but the way you make is lenthy process,
It could be made much easier way...
Here in India we always think about the easiest way to do the jobs done.
I'm very lazy person, I always try to find the easiest ways....
Soon I'm starting youtube videos, for training purpose...
Hi Suneel thanks for your comments and sub. I am not a professional jeweller in any way shape or form. Just a hobbyist who loves time spent in my man cave exploring the creative process of ideas and inspiration. It was never meant to be anything too serious however now I’ve got to monetisation with my channel I try to take it a bit more seriously.
I love making tools and jigs to help with a project sometimes more enjoyable than the project itself.
My favourite style of UA-cam video at the moment is commercial metal workers in India on a production line showing how they work sometimes on a dusty road moving tons of steel wearing sandals.
Good luck with setting up your channel look forward to seeing your videos … always something new to see on UA-cam … i’m sure you’ll do well … All the best … Nick
One thing is common between you and me, You love making tools, so I
I'm Gold-Silver-Black Smith, as well as Sheet metal cutting
Dies manufacturing for only my production line...
That is a gorgeous bracelet... you say 21 is fir a small wrist? You mean man's wrist. Mine I make 17 cm. And for my girlfriend I make them 15 cm... 😂😂😂
Going to make them in copper. And try with wirewrapping to make it more sturdy. Thank you for showing how to make a jig... I wil sure try to make one myself. But as I am eager to make the bracelet, I am going to combine it with wirewrapping. Should be beautiful... the jumping rings I can't bend as I don't know what to use to solder.
I went to Cookson and gold, and saw a beginnerskit. Will that be a good one??? i don't know. It includes a torch, soldering blocks and mat, pickle, Flux, and tweesers...
Thank you. 😘
this was an early video … lots of mistakes in it … hate hearing my attempt at a VoiceOver … once you get the hang of soldering it opens up all sorts of opportunities. I use paste solder a lot for jump rings. I think a soldering kit would be a good start if you get a decent discount on the individual items. however you don’t need much to get going.
A soldering block, torch, soldering paste and tweezers and you can get a lot done. … N
geez, how strong do I have to be to make this????
not at all Rachel, it’s a very delicate chain…. i’ve only just got the hang of making this sort of thing… i used to be a bit heavy-handed and break everything….. all the best …. Nick
🐝💤💥❤💫👍
👍Ausra, … 👁❤️🤡🛠🗜… N
I just find your channel . It's so great 👍 thanks for sharing your creatively ways
thanks Kajenoghrei, Nice to give a bit back after learning so much from UA-cam … cheers … Nick
Your videos are really informative. And your jewelry is very beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to do them!
thanks for your comment Tammie, always love to find the time for making stuff… Nick
Wow Nick! Really wish you were in the USA. I'm so impressed with your teaching skills. Let alone you metal working skills!
Sent my Hubby a link to your channel. Told him I found my Teacher.
Again...Soldering Classes, please? Not only a how to, but the difference between the solder types.
THANK YOU AGAIN👍👍👍👍👍
thanks TL, this was an early video … I cringe when I hear my voice.
never thought of myself as a teacher … just very happy to share.
Being a hobbyist I love finding an easy way around problems and soldering paste is incredible stuff, perfect for making delicate items.
i’ll keep in mind your idea for a soldering video … Nice subject to show … all the best … Nick
Very neat method to produce consistent units. Well done. Does it work as well for thicker wire? Cheers
definitely can scale it up with a larger wire, I tend to practice and test everything first with copper wire to make sure the peg size and gaps work well before committing to my precious silver … nice one … Nick
Thanks Nick. Great videos and very easy to follow.
thanks Richard, my videos have changed a bit since this early one … cheers … Nick
Wide awake! Wonderful instruction I thank you.
thanks for that Maude, glad you find it useful … N
Brilliant Nick. So many ideas in my head, and the list keeps building. Thank you.
Heard the morse at the end. I don't suppose you are a Radio Ham / Amateur Radio Operator, as well as your many other talents and skills? My callsign is G1JXI. I shall have to re listen and decipher it. Cheers for now.
not so deep and meaningful … just a simple sound clip that I thought represented messages … N
I can’t believe you can create such simple but nice pieces of jewelry !! Only wire and your jig is cool, I saw a jig used for wrought iron work for gates and window bars yours is a miniaturized version of these. Thanks for sharing with us your knowledge and skills 👍
thanks Hector, I do love a good jig. more enjoyable to make than the job its self sometimes. being a production welder at work i’ve accumulated a lot of jigs over the years … my boss said he would sell them off as sculptures one day … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff that explains your mastery at creating those “plantillas” as we call them in Spanish excellent for repetitive work and were the precursor to the modern day assembly line
I have always found repetitive work very satisfying and have made and used a lot of plantillas over the years. my work colleagues can’t understand it but are happy to pass over work they don’t want to do.
… Nick
This is Nick's first video? 🥺😳 Ever? That's kinda hard to believe. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
yes looks a bit dated these days … and I cringed when I hear my VoiceOvers … N
love This
thanks for that Carol, a bit of an old vid now … N
Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed learning about how to make this simple jewelry.
thanks for that blue jay … yes simple but sweet … N
I have been making wire cr
Rafts for a few years now it's something that truely don't grow old there is some thing new to try in the wide ranges of technic
Started of making chain Mail now I am off to parts unknown although I have a question about the gas your using all I have is a butane type torch the type you can find at the home Depot really takes a few to heat up some thicker wire so what are you using that does it with such ease
Thank you for sharing
Thank you in advance
hi David thanks for the comment, I also love chainmail my next video I’m working on is an introduction to chainmail jewellery. I use a small butane refillable torch a lot its my preferred choice for most work although they come in a slightly larger size that is useful, commonly sold as kitchen equipment. Being a bit of a tool freak I have a lot of choice when it comes to gas torches however this cheap Instant lighting hand torch gets the most use … cheers … Nick
@@Nickscreativestuff thank you it's a plesent surprise to hear I am as advanced n my technics I have thought that some thing like mapp gas or asetaline was a hotter gas for most metal work the thought co es as I see the metal glowing red but a good thing to as the butane torches are much cheaper to buy and operate thank you knick I will be keeping up with you and your channel looks like there can be much more then talking torches and gasses till next time
I suppose it comes down to size and mass of your project, if you were going to be casting or smelting large amounts of silver or annealing a plate an oxygen and propane/acetylene torch would come in handy.
But for every day jobs most jewellers would use this simple refillable butane torch … cheers … Nick
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 😊 I LOVED YOUR PRESENTATION, YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL, I WISH TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SUCH THINGS AND IF IT WASN'T FOR KIND HEARTED CREATIVE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO SHARE, THEN DULL MINDED PEOPLE LIKE ME WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE BEAUTY THAT IS POSSIBLE, AGAIN, THANK YOU❣️❣️
Hi Regina, Nice to read your heartfelt comment and have some connection with people who appreciate my simple stuff. Being a maker brings me great satisfaction in life. Even more so now having an outlet to share and find some community to participate in. Making videos about making stuff is a strange mirror to observe … not found the confidence to show my face yet … maybe one day … thanks and all the best to you … Nick
I'm not sure why you don't have more likes?
hi Larry nice to receive your comment, I find the UA-cam algorithm rather unfathomable so I tend to go with what little I know and hope it all falls into place. However it seems to be happening more now … I had an additional 10 subscribers today…. all the best to you… Nick
this is true, I fell asleep near the end but it wasn't your fault! It's half past 1am and despite being very tired, I cannot stop watching your wire jewelry videos! Nice job!
thanks for your comment Al, that’s funny, i’m often doing the same watching UA-cam until the early hours until I fall asleep. always something new to see … cheers Nick
Absolutely fantastic. I can’t imagine wearing dainty jewelry like this though because I am such an indelicate person. I I am like a bowl in a China shop.
Absolutely agree with that Cody, it’s a very girly chain … I struggled to make this sort of thing when I first started out at a jewellery class … all the girls around me were making very fine delicate items … I could only achieve big heavy and butch costing me a fortune in silver … I now strive to produce dainty things saving me a fortune in materials … cheers … Nick
Thank you for making these detailed videos!!! Love watching you make things and can't wait til I am able to get my things started!!!
Thanks Wyn, I love being a maker, I never know where it may lead me. Couldn’t predict it would be in the direction of making videos but it’s just as satisfying as being in my workshop … nothing like the present to get started on a project. These videos are still taking me a long time to get sorted … all the best to you … Nick
Nice looking chain
Thanks 👍
Beautiful!! I’m definitely going to make some of these! They are so versatile!
Hi Gigi, hope you got my late message thanking you for your kind donation. very versatile and simple to make with a bit of practice I find the key is cutting them a bit short before soldering so they can be stretched back into shape … have fun and thanks again … Nick
Nice
thanks Angela … N
Nice voice-over, and great filming, very generous with all the details.
thanks for comments thought I might use one of those synthesised voice-overs
At minute 2:30 The bending jig; those jewelry jigs are already for sale on Etsy.com or Amazon, so you don't have to make a wooden bending jig.
however being a hobbyist there’s nothing quite like making your own tools if you can … N
@Nicks creative stuff That's, cool although not many of us can afford such an expensive drill press. Most people here in California live in apartments, and aren't able to have that huge tool indoors.
I can relate to that … you can only work to your limitations … I feel privileged in having a double garage as a workshop where I can collect tools to my hearts desire … N
