My dad was a jeweler. I remember seeing him do all this in his shop. Just hope your wearing mask and making sure you don’t breath all that in. My dad died of throat cancer and I truly believe it was cause of this
im sorry to hear that :( my english is bad but i still understand you
Sorry to hear that.
sorry to hear that stay up bro
Look at his hands, no he doesn't care about all that airborne metals
I'm truly sorry to hear that
Thanks youtube algorithm, I always wanted to know how to make a Cuban chain
To be honest I did have a slight curiosity.
Hahahaha same lol
Lmao
yes
Life is complete
Without I doubt , best looking bike lock I have ever seen 👌
cuban bike 👌
Very noice👌
Best looking, least effective.
Well at least they will steal this instead of my bike 😔
Lol 👍

Aww thank goodness I got this recommendation, I was just planning on making a Cuban chain today!
This is probably a joke, but if it’s not, good luck.
Thats so wholesome. Thanks, but yeah - was a joke! Wish I had the skill (and patience) to actually do that
Same dude
Stealing my ideas are we?
Murray John Beard it was a joke ffs
I know nothing about video editing. But this video was extremley confortable to watch. The editing on this is excellent, not to loong shots, not to short, there was not. A single moment i got bored or skipped a part. The music on the background is excellent too. About the chain.. a masterpiece. Keep it up guys. ❤️🇦🇷
I agree ! :)
I skipped like five times cuz my phone's dying
if you notice the shots switch at the same time a bar of the music starts, so everytime theres a specific "thud" or "kick" in the song/beat, the shot changes or something happens, making it really satisfying to watch :)
loved how he presented the gold in hte dark with the moving light. was an awesome touch
try counting to 5 before the next shot. protip, you cant
Cuban chain-makers be goin hard af at work listening to this beat!!🔥🔥🔥
Cavan Black lmaoo imagine listening to that wack as beat for hours
PrawnStorm Yea actually I could! That’s why I commented it. Man your smart!😄
What’s the best called.
@@cavanblack this beat crazy
The amazing thing about this is that it's a young person making the bracelet. Kudos 👍
Instructions not clear, made an australian chain.
Just turn it upside down!

The great part is that because this comment isn't specific to any other video, it can be copied and pasted into a recommendation meme.
Grew up in Cuban-American community so it’s cool to see how this chain is made. Making that clasp was impressive.
Bro what is you talkin bout
@@putamadre6518 I grew up in Key West, Florida and this style of chain was very popular so it was cool to see how it is made, especially the clasp which is the part that holds the chain together at each end.

Came for the chain. Stayed for the music 😎
The Truth what is this song
Yea what the hell
For real! Dope ass beat
Elijah Tamaira it's supposedly called Powder by Jaymvrc but it's no where on the web... i'd suggest you to download this video as a mp3 file and rename it, video is 6mins long and has no interruptions whatsoever
The beat is super chill 👌
Inverse relationship here between the polished chain and dirty hands of the craftsman. Guess that's what it takes
Dirty hands clean money
No shit Hilary

@@droberts4100 you post fortnite clips... Sit down kid
Seeing videos like this are so cool because I get to learn something new and see the process behind the things we love, but it also creates a new respect for the craft and the people who create these things. So much love for it all
“I came to judge, I left impressed.”
He never claimed it was gold idk why people hating it's about the craftsmanship
Literally not a single soul said anything about it not being gold

I don't know the slightest thing about chains or jewelery, but as the son of a professional video editor and with my own experience as an amateour one, I can say this is a great video. I love the shots, the music and the editing! Congratulations to the editor and the crew that provided the excelent material. Last but not least, I really like that chain! Takes a lot of talent to create such a piece and such a video!
Thank you! It's all a one man operation so this means a lot
Zalakos what’s this song?? It’s super dope
*Jumps in pool
"Hold up, why's my chain green now?"
Lol haha gud one 👍
Noe Cazares brass doesn’t change colors 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
If you jumped in a pool with that chain on, you'd sink to the bottom and drown lol
Christopher Stanyan brass doesn’t chain colors I work with brass it gets dirty just like gold but doesn’t change colors
Metals like stainless steel and iron rust, while .925 sterling silver, copper, and other alloys tarnish. Rust slowly eats into the metal while tarnishing only happens on the surface, unlike rust you could prevent fading if you clean your jewelry. Lmfao tbh idek if dat information is right but it's what I know and go off of.. 🤷🏾♂️
The randomness of the universe brought me here. That was actually really cool. I know I couldn't do that without some practice. Nice job
Excellent filming and cinematography, the music was also good and the shots in the end were top teir. An excellent video. UA-cam recommendations did not disappoint me.
I’m a jeweler. Best part of this video was not the curb chain; it was the clasp you made. Trust me that was far skill and challenge than the chain.
Yes I loved that part so cool
Can you craft me a +300 might ring?, I'll give you the mat
@Thomas Salmon wow you are right it does. I wish you would have pointed that out to begin with lol. I retract my statement, you are 100% correct
@@ryanmcgauley7358 the dude said hes a jeweler what's hard to believe about that man wants links to his Facebook lmfao😂 And if you're a jeweler you'd know what the hardest part of making a certain piece of jewelry would be. Just like if you're a mechanic changing a AC compressor you know what part sucks the most when doing that job.

I'm not much into thick chunky jewellry, but I can definitely see myself wearing this bracelet. Very beautiful. Exquisite craftsmanship.

So no gloves?
*smashes skateboard*
It’s a bigger hassle to wear gloves than to do it bare hand. The gloves tends to tear and get caught on the polisher. I used to waste more time getting new gloves on rather than just washing my hands for a solid 2 minutes.
Why would you smash your skateboard
So no head?

Facts
So pretty! A video about making different clasps would be soooo cool to see!
I remember watching this over and over because it was calming for some reason I think I should try and make one
Gr8,now I can make my own chain at home
40k/100k of what? Bottle caps?
@Tacha 😉
Salvadore Andretti ain’t no 40k not even 5k all you need is about 1000 all those tools can be bought at a harbor freight
If u can see it is a bracelet
@Salvadore Andretti i did this with only some plies, the buffer and files at my school and a solder gun i borrowed from my grandpa. its not hard
Am I the only one who noticed he has beautiful hands for working with metals and machines all day??
FR
I got this same problem as well, fine delicate hands no matter what I do.
@@maurostrachwitz747 How is that a problem lmaooo dude
Mauro Strachwitz my guy that’s a blessing
Its always so relaxing to watch these videos.
Thank you youtube for recommending this for me!
I was just planning on making a Cuban link today!
its really cool to see how much work goes into chains that rappers wear
And sell them for overpriced amounts
David Watts um yea with a shit ton of diamonds on them and made out of gold u think it’s gonna be cheap? Are u stupid?
@@Caleb-vq2uy hes not wrong tho. theres like a 1000% mark up based on the momey spent on those materials. just for example, Johnny Dang(famous in rap jewellery) can make and sell you a chain for 20k but a jeweller will probably charge 80-100k.
Caleb Ebel say bruh u do realize buying this would be cheap cos it ain real gold right?
Can’t beat handmade jewellery, always better quality than the mass produced stuff
@Viking 1982 better than your chain
Chains are always hand made! you don’t now what jewelery is!
I’ve worked in the jewellery trade for 11 years, Handmade hands down is far better quality 😂
Sarah-Louise McVeigh yeah but im saying is, they are always handmade!...
Are you from the uk? We have a lot of mass produced jewellery here, probably imported. I see a lot of older jewellery which has been handmade which has stood the test of time. It may be different in other countries?
Impressive. Glad to see you're not slinging your buffing wheels onto the spindle and running it like a certain 9-fingered jeweler I know.
Masterfully done. Always a great video to come back to when the urge to make a chain kicks in.
Chill, good vibes, no words and only actions. 😎👌

After all these years of listening to rap songs that reference Cuban chains, I finally see what it is. For once, thanks UA-cam reccomendations
I'm surprised how you managed to polish it between links. Impressive.
If you've ever used a polish wheel on a bench grinder you'd know at high rpms it gets in lots of little spaces. The chain wont stay like that for very long however as brass will oxidize from chemical reaction
kоvу It could be coated to keep it from oxidizing.
Thumbler
He used a very tiny file, the size of half a matchhead. It's called a rice-file. The machine wheel was just to polish the outside. The inside was polished by a match-wheel. Very useful tools
Wow! Very talented. Looks beautiful!
