Awesome!! I had a friend who was a blacksmith. Met him when I worked in the village at Medieval Times in Florida. He made some amazing pieces. Great respect for the craft
Just got my bracelet in the mail today! I have teeny tiny wrists and Rick was able to make a daintier version of the bracelet for me. It looks amazing and fits great! Thank you!!
A pro blacksmith did 75% of the work on one of these for me, forming the loops and interlocking the halves, all freehand using the horn of the anvil. I had to shape it for the size of my wrist (surprisingly difficult) and then finished it with coconut oil to give it a little extra. Very solid looking. Looking forward to trying it again sometime doing everything myself start to finish.
Thanks - they are easy enough to make, but the hard part is making them to fit various wrists. To help this you can use thinner material that can easily be molded to a wrist, but then the thinner materials look less hee-man.
it was comfortable for me, but I had spend the time to customize it to fit just right and grind away any sharp areas. That's the issue in making these to sell; it requires tools and willingness for the buyer to adjust the fit. So, perhaps a thinner gauge steel and some other more plyable metal.
@@RickRabjohn I have been playing around with copper and thought it would be a good design done with copper rod. Would also be easier to fit. You could patina it black to get the great look of iron.
Super - Can I order matching ear rings? Looks like a fun project Rick - Still enjoying my marking knifes and the chisel has found multiple uses due to its unique shape. Great for lifting off baseboard without any splits.
Well - long story but no. It became impossible to make them to fit all the different wrists sizes nor could the steel be easily adjusted, so I scrapped it.
You could use the same setup to produce in sterling. Cold forging and annealing. Maybe go a little lighter gauge. They’d be adjustable, have a higher profit margin and you wouldn’t have to scrap your forms
Ощущение двоякое.. А дальше? Всее? Не закончил ведь работу. Это резец для рукавов рубашек и запястья рук. Закончи , пожалуйста и покажи. Это- моё мнение и только. Спасибо за труд.
11H5P If you wanted to make this then a couple ideas I have for finishing the ends are as follows: *Tack weld the ends and grind to your liking. *forge weld the ends *add some sort of flare to the ends (curl them, add details to the ends, etc) I hope this helps, Storm
