How to make a long link chain?? Can you make it without any special tools, just by using objects from your workshop?? ABSOLUTELY! And today, I will show you how to do just that! :) I hope you enjoy this step by step tutorial on how to make a chain at home!
A little disclaimer: I know you can still see solder joints on this chain - that's because in this video I focused on the steps to make the chain, however, if you want, you can totally sand and clean the places where you soldered, so that they aren't visible at all. For that, you can use needle files, sanding papers or sanding attachments for a rotary tool. If you use a rotary tool, please remember to be extra careful and make sure you hold the chain in a way, that the dangly parts won't get caught on the spinning machine (for example a flex shaft).

Love watching your videos, you are such a inspiration for someone just starting our like myself, thank you x

my pleasure, Alicia! Thank you so much for watching :)

Thanks Basia this has inspired me to think out of the box for how a chain "should" be and made me think of ideas for my own style 😁 really need to save for a tumbler...

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 11 месяцев назад

@@knittedpainting So happy to hear that! You should totally experiment and have fun - as you can see, my chain isn't perfect :) But I wanted to see if I can make one with these random tools. Next one can look much better, as I know which parts of the process need improving. As for the tumbler - you could use a diy handheld option, it would work for a chain like this. Check it out here in the video, I've marked a time stamp for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d4TyXe_LC28.htmlsi=e9z5KXhF_TGTGM3P&t=96

@PBCreation96 11 месяцев назад

As always, amazing video. This reminds me of a mandrel I got from Lion Punch Forge to make this type of chain specifically (it’s one of my absolute favorite types)

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! A mandrel like that sounds great, definitely makes things easier 😀

Great tutorial! Thank you! I would love to know what the snips are that you are using! They look like they are perfect for jump rings etc

@user-ox9mb7jg4n 5 месяцев назад

These are Lindstrom Multipurpose shears HS6001. We saw them in a recent video in which Basia unpacked an order of tools from Otto Frei. In the USA, they can be purchased from many companies, including Rio Grande Jewelry Supply and Fire Mountain Gems and Beads.

@JustME-ft4di 11 месяцев назад

Really nice piece. Think I would solder the clasp on.

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 10 месяцев назад

Thank you ❤ Oh yes, normally I would do too! :) I wasn't planning on making this a bracelet, that's why I didn't solder the clasp, I just wanted to attach it to present the chain as a bracelet as an example. But I plan to finish this chain and use it as a part of a necklace :)

@thetrailwalkers 11 месяцев назад

Loved the video!!! You motivated me to do some chain soon!

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 10 месяцев назад

Yay! That's awesome :) Thank you so much, have fun making your own ❤

@juliegeorge8533 11 месяцев назад

Hi Basia! Thanks for your demo- great as always thanks. Where do you get the snips from that you use to cut the links please? They seem to give a good straight cut on both sides of the metal. TIA and best wishes. xxx

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching, Julie! 🥰 These are by Lindstrom and I got them from Otto Frei. I love them, so sharp and precise, definitely worth an investment

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithingwill have to have a look myself. Just discovered Otto Frei and grabbed one of their quick change saw frame's recently (best saw ever!).

What solder paste did you use?😊

@jewelrescue 10 месяцев назад

Love this simple and effective design! Excuse my ignorance, but I wondered why you didn’t solder the clasp and the link that attached it? Would it spoil the clasp? 💕

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 10 месяцев назад

That's not ignorant at all, it's a great question! I probably should've made a comment about it in the video: I didn't solder the clasp on purpose, because I didn't want to finish this as a bracelet. I wanted to add the clasp, so I could present the chain as a semi-finished jewellery piece for the video, but my plan is to use this chain for a necklace :) Normally, I would also sand the solder joints to hide them better

@jewelrescue 10 месяцев назад

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing ah, awesome! It will make a gorgeous necklace 🥰 I’d love to see it when it’s finished!

@kellyramsey4745 10 месяцев назад

I just had a couple questions.... how long do you tumble your bracelet and why did you tumble before adding the clasp? did you tumble again after adding the clasp?

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 9 месяцев назад

I added the clasp only as a reference, this wasn't a finished piece (as I'm going to use that chain in a necklace), but I wanted to show an example in the video, that's why I added the clasp. Normally, I would've added the clasp, soldered it on and then tumble the whole thing :)

@pkgoldopalhunting 11 месяцев назад

nice

@TogoGal 10 месяцев назад

Hello! May I know the size / gauges of the metals you used

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 10 месяцев назад

I mentioned in the video, that I'm using a 0.80mm - 20ga wire :)

@slappymchappy 11 месяцев назад

I'm surprised you didn't wrap the chain around something before tossing it in the tumbler to prevent bent wire

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 11 месяцев назад

Only because I felt confident that the wire wouldn't be bent (the chain links are quite strong for this amount of tumbling). Otherwise I would've wrapped it around something, it's a good advice

@timmo5192 11 месяцев назад

Do you need solder paste to do the soldering?

@TheArtOfMetalsmithing 10 месяцев назад

you can use regular solder, but I just found it much easier and faster to use a solder paste here

@scarlettardis2018 11 месяцев назад

I'm surprised you would use your precious needle files mate. They are brittle because of their hardness and if you've spent the money on vallorbe files I wouldn't be using them for this. They're very easy to snap. Love the other ideas but ❤
