That is a COOL bracelet! And so ingenious with all the tools that aren’t made for jewelry making. You are like the jewelry making MacGyver! 😁 Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Thank you so much for another awesome video! Love the use of stainless steel. Gives the look of silver for those of us who can’t afford to work with silver
Really nice result. I’ve an idea that would add a splash of colour. How about synthetic ruby ballbearings? They also make several other colours in ceramic bearings.
Incredible craftsmanship. I have and wear two Torq bracelets and I get many compliments on them both. They're very durable and get noticed . One of mine I bought back in 99 and my 2nd a few years ago. Both are made out of stainless steel and are my favorite pieces that I always have on.
Hello..... I just came across your channel and I did subscribe. I wanted to know if you make stainless steel bangle bracelets for men. Like 8.25 or 8.5 inch wrist. If you do..... have you ever or will ever try making them from titanium wire. Thanks for your help and do you have a online store
Thanks for a great tutorial. I have started playing with the winder. Starting with a 12 inch wire bundle, what length are you cutting the finished wound wire for an average sized bracelet. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information. I’m very interested with stainless but that bracelet is a lot of wire and a rather large gauge. I had fantasized about working with titanium as well but as far as I can tell, titanium requires a lazer welder and I’m too old to even have a chance of saving up that kind of money. I also want to learn how to arc (stick) weld and see what I can manage to do with rebar, horse shoes, and bedrails, If anyone has plans for the Eiffel Tower, please let me know, I’m only 71, so I have time to pull that off. Money is always an issue, but if the dogs and horses will not create a reason to call the vet and my 30yr old truck doesn’t break something that I can’t fix myself then maybe I can at least get a decent welder. To return to the subject of jewelry making, I am primarily interested in making rings and pendants for necklaces at this point. I am so grateful to you and the other artisans on UA-cam that have so generously shared your knowledge and experience. Whether it’s astrophysics or the correct way to sew on a button, it’s the spreading of knowledge that keeps us growing as a species. Maybe someday we will learn to be kind not only to each other, but to all the creatures that share our world, Am I mistaken in thinking that the stainless steel could have been annealed and made the job a little less physically demanding?
Annealing stainless steel wire requires sustained heat for a long time and then allowing it to cool on it's own. It would be done in a kiln type of oven. It wouldn't be appropriate for something this small. If not done properly you'll actually harden the metal even more.
@@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry Thank you for this information. If there is a difficult route to take for any given journey, I seem to have an innate way of choosing it. I’m sure you have heard the age old excuse, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Well, that has become my mantra. Anyway, on to my good idea of the day. If you know a woodworker or machinist you could ask them for any drill bits that are no longer fit for their original purpose. Bits come in dozens of sizes and are usually very accurate in their stated diameter. The shafts could be used when you are needing to make loops or bends of the same size. Hope this idea helps someone.
Great video. What is the dimension of the ram bar in the Flatwear Bender 3D.V2 kit? I am in Australia and looking at what Arbor Press I can use this kit on.
We don't ship to countries in the UK or the EU due to Brexit regulations. If you want to make a purchase from our website you can use a package forwarding company like www.myus.com
I've had some pretty good success using your tools and techniques. The learning process is fun! I tried this method using the stainless wires from Harbor Freight that you are using. But instead of 3 wires, I used 2 wires for the initial grouping. For the life of me, I can't see how you were able to twist them all up together without spring back. I got about half the way and the twisting tool wanted to come back like a helicopter blade. LOL Maybe I need to start with longer wires in the beginning. Any thoughts?
I cut my wires about 15" long. I think you'll find less spring back with them on the longer side. It will give a fight but like my father used to say, "you have to be smarter than the tools".
@@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry Thanks for getting back to me. I did cut them longer (16") and it made a big difference! Now I'm mixing copper and stainless for different effects. I'll break out some brass wire next.
Just a question trying to make this bracelet.....which way do we twist? The video printing says counterclockwise and the audio says clockwise. Thank you in advance. Your winder shipped yesterday and I purchased wire yesterday too. Can't wait to get started!
If Copper is connected to Stainless steel then the copper will corrode to sacrifice to the stainless steel. The reaction is called Galvanic corrosion. When two dissimilar metals are touching, an electrolyte will jump-start the corrosion process. Sweat is mostly water but does contain electrolytes, so just wearing the bracelet will induce corrosion in the copper core. The corroding copper has the potential to induce skin irritation and dermal toxicity in some people.
YOU SAID LIKE IT, DON'T LIKE IT, I LOVEEEEEEE ITTTTTTT IT'S BEAUTIFUL

Wonderful work! Quite inspirational. I am new to this techniqure, and really love your finished peices. Thanks for sharing.
Love, love this; can hardly wait to make it.
Such great content and delivered so well, very well organized/understandable, thank you!
Good job! Beautiful
Great job
Where do I find the tool to twist the wires together that you used in the video
www.flatwearable.net/home/corkscrew-copper-wire-bracelet/
So beautiful. I didn't catch the name of the red tool you use to thread the strands through and twist. Can you tell me what it's called please? 🌹
Flatwearable Wire Winder. Check the description box below the video for a link
Thank you for the great video. Where do you buy stainless steel wire? I'm having trouble finding anything lower than 16 gauge.
Have you looked at Amazon?

Thanks for a great tutorial. I have started playing with the winder. Starting with a 12 inch wire bundle, what length are you cutting the finished wound wire for an average sized bracelet. Thank you!
Anywhere from 6-9 inches depending upon the desired finished size.
In my twisting kit there are some flat plastic pieces that I have no idea how to use those. can you please tell me what to do with them?
Perhaps the box to store the 14 dies? Please check the information sheet that came in your box.

Any arbor press with a 1" ram will work with our attachments.
That jig you used for twisting the wires, did you make that? Or where can it be purchased? Thank you.
Check the link in the description box under the video.
what is that little anvil with the channels in it?
A swage block. Check the link in the description box
Hello, what is the gauge size of the stainless steel? Thank you and that is a beautiful bracelet 😍.
18g
I am interested in your wire twisting Gadget , what is the name of it and how can I buy one

Do you ship to the uk? 😊
@@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry do you ship to the uk?

did you anneal the stainless wire? if so what is the technique for that?
As the title says, no heating.
@@FlatwearableArtisanJewelry sorry, I get to excited over the thumbnail and video to read the title. 😬😳😁😁

Do you have a list of arbor presses that will work with your set. Harbor Freight has been out of stock for over nine months.
Palmgren, Klutch, Jet, Dake, Grizzly, or Vevor.

Oh this is awesome! I was wondering if this would work with stainless. Do you ship this tool International at all?
Yes we do
Do you ship to Australia?
USPS isn't allowing us to ship to AU at this time. You can use a package forwarding service like myus.com
