- My first ever tutorial on how I made a rope chain
Not for sale just showing how its made
Special thanks for the music from:
RuBiXKuBiX- Nice Things
THBD- Good for you
Joakim Karud-great days
Chris Morrow 4-Crying over you
wants to try different sizes. you can get a good idea of if the links you want to use are the right size by dividing the thickness of the wire by the thickness of the rod the wire was wrapped on. you want it to be around 2.5
. the first chain in this video is a 5mm rod and 2mm wire which is 5/2=2.5
. the second chain is 7.5mm rod and 3mm wire which is 7.5/3=2.5
.the chain from the first video is a1.2mm wire on a 3.2mm rod which is 3.2/1.2=2.6
This is the best video about rope weaving in whole internet! Thank you so much, sir!
Qwerty QWERTY I know thank you so much
Please show in hindi
Pradip Sonar sorry I don’t speak Hindi
MadeByHuss Very inspiring, would be a fun trade to get into
Davey Fraser Thank you
You learn to appreciate jewelry more when you realize the time that goes into making one piece! Rope style chains and bracelets are my favorite!
Jairo Ronquillo Thank you
Cuban and rope are my favorite ❤️ rope is harder to make but Cuban I like more because you can see individual links
This is real dedicated stuff ..the makers don’t get enough recognition
Thank you
I agree
I had no idea rope chains were so hard to make. I thought they were just wires twisted together 😵
Makes me love my gold rope chain even more
Thanks for watching
So nice to see a fellow goldsmith/bench jeweler doing hand fabrication.....keep up good work
Thank you so much
I use a clean thick welders glove on my hands when drawing long wire that is too long for the shop. Wrap it around until you have a "grip". It doesn't hurt too much. No marks whatsoever and no pausing marks. Oil of Wintergreen is great in drawplates - good for burnishing also. Thanks for sharing!
Doug Bader thank you
you are the best, it's so difficult to find videos online that tell you the mm mesuraments for crafting chains, soon i will finish building my jewelry studio and i will rewatch your videos to make the chains
Great hope all goes well
Great Tutorial! Making these chains is surely a lot of work, but the rewards are so great!! They come out Beautiful! Thank you so much!
Very time consuming, but outstanding result. Thanks Huss for sharing your skills (and patience).
My pleasure
Now thinking that we have rope machine, I really admire silversmith of the past. Great Vid!
Bangkok Creative Studio Thank you if you don’t have the machine and have a lot of time and it nice to know how to make it
whats this rope machine
How can nearly 100 people dislike this video? What is there to dislike? It’s a great video. Proof positive you cannot please everybody.
Joseph Biancalana may be they didn’t like the music lol Thanks for watching
What a fabulous video. I especially liked seeing how you made your wire in the beginning. Looking forward to seeing more.
maidofkent maidofkent thank you so much stay tuned
Amazing, can I just say thank you for explaining what it is your doing,I’ve watched others that’s don’t say anything and I’ve always wondered why they were doing this or that,you have a fantastic talent thank you for sharing it ☺️.....
I appreciate that thank you for watching
That is so so clever and such a lot of work . I've often wondered how my silver chain was made . Very impressive and very clever .
Thank you for watching
I had it pictured totally different in my head. Great vid
D Mimz Thank you
I used to not like a rope chain now I watched your video I was amazed thanks
Almond Mejia Thank you
Wow, had no idea how labor intensive this process is. Must be kinda therapeutic. Bravo
Thank you
This is awesome. You are awesome. Its 2:00 am monday morning and I have to wake up in 4 hours for work.
Junbugg91 Thanks for watching
Great ! Thanks for this video l always wondered how it was done and really thought it was just silver strings tornt together. I didn't expect it to be so many little rings
Renald Sunset Thanks for commenting and watching
Very nice tutorial! I understand that making chain can induce a zen like state. Thanks!
John Sholl Thank you
I don't understand how cheap rope chains are compared to the amount of hardwork that goes into them. Are jewelers underpaid or are most pieces made with machines? This is much more labor intensive than I imagined
This by fare de best tutorial video HV ever watched thanks a lot for sharing I think you consider teaching in a school you are very good
Thanks
Wow glad I stayed to the end time to put my laser machine to work thanks🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Cesar Najera your well come and thanks for watching
How beautiful! Great teacher too!
im thinking bout getting a Rope Chain 14K between 6 and 7 mm the craftsmanship of the rope model is very impressive you buy the preciousness of the metal but the labor is something above well done sir and thanks for your hard work
Good choice!
I am Silversmith trainer and I like to thank you MadeByHuss to teach me the right tutorial way.

excellent Job boy have you got Patients
Probably onenof the hardest chains to make.
Thank you for watching
Very nice bro making. ...
Atan Thank you brother
thats a great looking chain there has to be a way to make it with out soldering it at ever link I like it a lot the soldering thing I don't know much I use copper wire and finding a solder to blend in is not an easy task to this day I have not
will you know of any brands I may look for or anything I may try worse yet were I may find what ever you recommend
thank you in advance
I have a video showing how to put together a rope chain with no solder but this is not practical at all the wire I use in that video was very soft but it shows how to do it copper may work because it’s harder. As for soldering copper I use silver solder yes not the same colour but it can be plated after all so you can try brass which is yellow and the silver solder does not look so bad on it hope this helps
Your videos are amazing
Glad you like them!
when you filed down the end, you really made your point 😂
Well done, Huss! Great tutorial.
John de Rosier Thank you
Fiddly stuff! Nice work sir.
Amy Dean thanks
I order book and have trouble to got the sense of made it watch many videos and again have problems to got what’s going on !! Wow ! So simple easy video to show the process thank you !! I only think when we soldering two ring together , they cut end stay free I got it “ watch inside of chain “ we not polish it ? I mean this cut end of round it’s stayed free cut it’s not damage clothes sometimes ?
No it’s open but it’s inside so it shouldn’t touch anything thank you 🙏
Very beautiful bracelet bruv!
4 Dub Thank you
For me this is real art😁👍

Bailey Bun Thank you this channel is only for showing how it’s made I hope this is not a let down and thank you for watching
Nice work 👍🏻 there’s not too many rope chain tutorials out there
Hxndlez OT Thanks
Hi, thank you so much for explaining in such detail the process of this chain, I just have one question that I would like to answer, how much does a chain like that weigh? I hope you see my comment and once again, what an amazing video.
28 grams thank you for watching
beatifull, thank you. What model of particle accelerator do you use to do the welding?
Wow!!!! Amazing work !!!
Thank you
GOD blessed you sir.
Thank you by my heart.
Thanks for watching
Nice!!! Best TUTORIAL thank for sharing
Mauricio EL JOYERO Thank you
Just an questian puting so much labour in an chain is it worth the efford financially as you have so much competion with factory chain made at minmal prices? I am just wondering? After all you run an bussiness and have to be profitable.
yes your to think that only its channel is showing how its made to people who want to learn and there are some who want it handmade custom jewellery and it a chain I've allways wanted to make thank you
Excellent work!
The Chain Hut Thank you
What is the minimum and maximum Ar(Aspect Ratio) for this classic rope chain???
I think as big as you like as long as you can bend it but I wouldn’t go too small difficult to hold
Good good good 👍🏼
Very nice chain also
Thanks
I'm learning from you thanks so much
That’s great news and thank you too
Very cool. Great work.
David Heatherly Thank you have a great day
Oh my god..how much hard it is to make it..i like this pattern chain so much and ive some of it.. But one must spend more attention and work hard to make this..hats off
s s Thank you
WOW .............There is nothing I can say but.............WOW
ROBERT KRAHN Thank you very much sir
Beautiful work!
Thank you for watching
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for watching
It was good because it was easy to understand how to make rope chain.
Thanks you.
정욱렬 Thank you for your comment
@@MadeByHuss But I don't understand why the soldering part is skipping once.
정욱렬 try watching my other video where I do different sizes that might help
Great video! How do you determine how large of a mandrel you need to use, and how wide the gap needs to be when spreading the rings?
Someone worked it out it’s in one of the rope chain videos in the bio thanks
Question
If you are making a bracelet of 9 in how long you need to roll and round the material ..how many times the length of the bracelet.. thanks for this great video
i think the weight was about 26 grams so I go by the weight be sure to start with a little extra
wow nice work well...
Thank you for watching
This channel is underrated
thank you for that comment
New subscriber I love you videos
Thank you love you too
I thought I paid too much for my silver rope chain. I now know why it costs alot more than what the silver is worth. Lots of work goes into it.
Very nice I love silver
Huss, that was awesome!!! Thank you!
Thank you for watching
Beautiful mind great👍👏
Thank you so much 😀
Nice!)
V.I.P. DynamiSJewellery Thanks
Would an upscaled design of this (made with appropriate materials) be able to withstand use as a utility chain
Yes and no if both sides are soldered it’s pretty strong depends on what you would use it for oh and plus the lock matters too
@@MadeByHuss I was thinking a chain whip with a small payload I suppose
R-OPE bro, keep it up!!!
Thanks
Muy. Bueno. Gracias. Excelente. Desde. San Carlos de. Costarica
Hard job bro
shahrokh shahhosseini Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for another wonderful jeweler's lesson God bless you health and prosperity brother
And you brother Thank you for watching
In your experience, do you think a rope link is as strong as other popular link styles? Like curb chain or cable chain?
Nice video
Only if it is full I mean not hollow but I would say that the Cuban is stronger
awsome job very nice
Keep up the good work
Beautiful work
orlando granda Thank you
Very nice!
Thanks
I don’t know but this looks way better then your average rope chain
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your talent sir
Julius Cabreros thanks for watching
Nice Vid, Keep it up liked the tutorial more videos like this would be good.
wow wow and wow! I always thought it was just metal rope twisted!!!!
Miguel Barajas thank you for tor comment
So you are soldering the link that are already previously soldered together and leaving the other ones loose?
Yes the ones I put together with the lazer
I’ve watched this video 5 times and still can’t figure out which links in the chain are being left unsoldered so the chain moves. My head is spinning..Must be jeweler magic.
Great video, beautiful work!
Cheeky Monkees I’ll try to explain the first 1and2 then 3and4 never 2and3 it’s all ways every other two hope this helps or you can try a sample with some copper wire and glue best of luck
@@MadeByHuss thank you so much for the video and this explanation,will give it a shot soon 🤞will link for advice
Soooo. Does the jeweler hire metal smiths (is that the correct term) to make these chains. How long does it take.
Only if it's handmade But most of them are made by machine
So this a new interest of mine.
In the beginning you said to put it through the wiring mill slowly or the metal will crack...
No matter how slow I go through this process the silver flakes and could you elaborate this process for me?
It makes it hard to go through the draw plate...
Justin Gill yes try when melting the silver make sure you heat it very well making sure every thing is clean and when milking slow and heart the silver after 3-4 mills and close the mills slowly don’t rush if this don’t work your silver is not clean and could be contaminated
MadeByHuss what advice would you give for soldering?? I’m having some trouble getting it to flow where I want... or just to flow at all. I clean it with sand paper. I’m using hard flux. I’ve gotten it to work a few times. But it’s very inconsistent
Justin Gill to clean it best you have to heat it and put in acid then heat it and then put flux it will dry where you want it to flow and use easy solder good luck
MadeByHuss what kind of acid? Sulfuric acid?? So, use easy solder and dip the Jump rings in acid before soldering... worth a shot?... It’s been a few days since I’ve gone for it.
Justin Gill sulphuric acid
Buenísimo muéstranos la pistola conque soldaste y como compparla
Hey, are these still produced mostly by hand? Or do they have a machine that does it now?
By machine nowadays
Nice vid. Good job sir.
Thank you
Thank you very much. Хорошо объяснили, как делать данную модель цепочки.
Could you do this with much smaller diameter wire and smaller links? To make a finer chain or does that weaken it?
Hudson Tolleson if have the patience yes check out the disruption or may in my other rope chain video to work out size of links and best of luck thanks for commenting
Thank you. I used this to repair a broken necklace minus soldering. Only broke one link and lost one on the floor.
Glad I could help
