    Looks really good. I’ve been looking into making one myself. Have mostly seen 2 wires twisted at once in either the forward or reverse motion on the drill to create your desired pattern but I like the free and not molded fit on your design. For me, I’d go without any coating, green wrist and all, simply for the added benefits of copper making direct contact to skin.

    God Bless you sir from the bottom of my heart!! I been wanting to make my own because im to poor and cant afford a real one.

    • @autodidacticartisan
      @autodidacticartisan 2 роки тому +6

      I use 30-35 amps. Once the link get red hot(2 seconds) it completely fuses it all shut. You can do it at 50 amps if you want to just zap them, I don't have that level of foot pedal control. Just make sure the coppers really clean before you tack it because any impurities in the copper will weaken that link and when you go to twist the chain the link with the impurity will break

      if you watch closely, when he's showing the final result you can see some of his links opened back (most likely when he was twisting the chain.
      If you do this I would recomend soldering the jump rings ( there's no such a thing as copper solder, so silver is used instead).
      Soldering is also much more safer and easy than welding, plus it gives a much more professional and clean look to the piece.
      He did an ok job but I don't think he is a professional jeweler.

      Looks like 10 gauge. Twisting it in the first step straightened it, thinned it, and softened the copper. Heating the copper and then quenching it would harden the copper in later steps.
