This video tip both discusses why you should make some of these stacking rings to enhance your profits, as well as showing you some variations and how to make them. There are tons of possibilities as far as designs for these go. These are simple to make, so are a suitable beginner project. The materials for these can vary, but for these ones, I used mostly 14 gauge round and square wire, some 20 gauge round wire twisted together, and some number 7 triangle wire from Rio Grande. I use hard silver sheet solder. My flux is My-T-Flux. The overhead to make these is low, so you can make some decent profit by hitting that lower price point for your customers.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!

I always make some tiny stack rings for the little girls. There’s not much available for the little girls at an art show and moms are often willing to pay for a stack ring and The little girls are thrilled to get something. I sell a LOT of them!!

Not to be rude, but are you willing to divulge the sorts of sizes you use? I personally have sausage fingers so even those I think are tiny turn out to be not so much when ordinary people try them lol

I like some of your ideas for variations on the stacker rings. My daughter and I make about 300 of these a year to sell at shows and to keep a couple of local galleries supplied. We usually start winding wire at the large end of the ring mandrel and go pretty much to the small end. The little ones make great rings for pinkie fingers, toes, or little kids. I love selling the larger sizes because so many people say they can never find their size because they have large fingers or large knuckles. Those people leave the booth sooo happy!

@chadssilversmithing Год назад
I try to keep some pretty big and pretty small sizes of rings on hand as well. I always love how thrilled they are when they find one that fits:)

I saw someone make stacking rings by winding the wire around the ring mandrel several times and THEN cutting them apart. She got several sizes without having to cut several lengths and tap them round. I thought it a nice time saver.

I’ve made a variety of stackers, and you’re right, sometimes I’ve made my booth fee back in $10 - $25 rings! Lately my biggest sellers seem to be copper rings … I think the economy and copper’s supposed help for arthritis are what makes them sell well.

Yes there are only so many pieces that you can gift before you need to bite the bullet and start selling your wares. 🤣🤣🤣 I have used gallery wire, round textured by hand, square twisted wire, the balled wire & twisted 2 wires together...I have to admit that the last option needed work on the soldering. Your videos are so helpful and informative.

How do u hide a solder joint on the patterned ring you made as filing it may make the pattern disappear
@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing Год назад
Hello Eleanor. For things with a pattern on the outside I usually solder the inside and use a smallish piece of solder. You can control the flow with where you apply the heat. I’m pretty sure I explained that much better than I am here in my video about bands. I’ll add a link.

What does the pickle/ pickle time mean?
@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing 28 дней назад
Pickling is using any of various acid compounds to clean the surface of the metal prior to soldering or polishing. It removes oxides and flux that have accumulated on the surface during soldering:)

I always enjoy watching your videos! When you have a bowl of stacking rings, are you ever concerned about theft? This is one of my concerns at craft fairs. Especially when it gets busy.
@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing 8 месяцев назад
Thanks Christina! I do occasionally have something walk off with someone, but it doesn’t happen that often. I’m more worried about someone taking a more labor intensive piece or unique piece that I have some serious time and effort into. It helps to have a second person working the booth with you:)
