Twisted Silver Ring Making | How it's made | Ring Tutorial 

Same here

Yes, I believe this guy woke up one day, with all the knowledge about this in his head, and a fully equipped workshop. Without having to do anything./S Don't let "if only" stop you, you can start with little time and money.

The silver wire can be bought...look up silver wire supplier. Copper wire from Jaycar in Australia or The House Jewelry in Sydney. Look online, Pepe tools. Get a flat steel plate where you can hold it on your lap to hammer silver or copper wire. Learn to anneal as once you start hammering 🔨...the wire becomes Work hardened. Small steps...learning , observing. But above all Having a go...a workshop is wherever YOU are. I have an engineering company...every possible machine...but not a table. Or other needs I mentioned to you. Above all I lack TIME. But one day soon Muchaco...soon.!

I feel your pain

There's nothing he used that is exceptionally rare or expensive brother. You literally could do this in your apartment! You can buy silver wire, you don't have to make your own. So no need for a $250 rolling mill. A propane torch is under $20 used, probably wayyyy cheaper. The little vise tool he's using could be subbed for a small vise that clamps to a kitchen table. A set of wire pliers is also cheap. Any hammer will work. You just need a smooth face on it. The saw inexpensive, but there's no reason you need a wire jewelry saw. A dremel with a cutting disc will do it. Even a junk grade hack saw will work. Silver is soft. The mandrel he's rounding it out on is a special tool. But they're cheap. Maybe $25 for a ring sizing set. You don't need an anvil, but you could order a mini Chinese made one or substitute a flat piece of iron. Even a sledge hammer can be used as an anvil if the edges are smooth. But going to a metal shop and buying a 4 inch chunk of flat steel bar is super inexpensive. I'd probably get a couple of pencil erasers (the big pink ones) to put under it to minimze hammering noise. Or just fold a towel under it. It is very achievable brother. Don't short yourself because you don't have space or fancy tools. There's a ton of creative tinkering one can do with very few tools at a kitchen table. 😊

Yes you are right 👍

There are also written methods for braids needing multiple people ( even up to twenty )

You get a better start with the knots at the fingers, though.

Price please

better cut both of them, but then with a twist: how about instead of gel nails put on some steel nails?

not one but two coke nails.

That's a lot of coke.

Totally agree, plus add a pendant & earrings for a complete set!

OK so I tried this with coloured bracelet string, but the top and bottom didn't mesh, I had ywo separate plaits, am I going wrong somewhere? Thank you 😊

Watch the video carefully thank you

Amazon site all jewellery tool available Thanks for watching

It’s very typical for Asian and Indonesian men to have long pinky nails. It’s a cultural thing.

That's the pickin' nail

Also called a coke nail

I mean clearly it comes in handy, he used it to weave through the wires more easily. Weird, but useful!

For the white girl!

Any of these 21,22,23 gauge wire Thanks for watching

Are you going to share that idea with us? Too !

@Aemni1 it’s easy to make the ends seamless. Make the starting wires longer to begin with. When you are done braiding you form your ring, bend it and put one end of the ring on top (let it overlap). Than look if the design matches and saw through both of your “ends”, hope that helps

Looks like 18-20 gauge

можешь сделать и браслет. тоже не плохо смотрится.. только будь аккуратен. я сделал себе тоже так же как он. пальцами. пришлось обращаться в больницу. потому как на пальцах передавил вены. долго отходили с терапией... делай за ранее кольца , чтоб было удобнее и безопасно

I noticed that I was so lucky that I never found out.

he made the wire with a ingot and a rolling mill, but it looks a little thicker then 1 mm so that would be like 16 gauge. if you are planning to buy wire rather then make it, make sure you have a way to anneal the wire to relax the silver metal and make it not brittle. annealing is like slowly cooking the metal with a torch he does this at 0:09. as you cold work the silver metal it will get stiffer and more brittle the ring was short so not a big deal.

@@Amipotsophspond yes at 0:09 he heats to a red colour then drops into water 💧 to instantly cool...it is now soft again. Ready to be reworked. I was thinking 🤔 of making a Lattice made ring to hold a Cabachon Ruby or Red Coral. Using silver wire...using a wire wrap design I've seen in Pinterest.

Wire gauge 21and pure silver soft wire. Thanks for watching

Fine silver

Hi Arve Johansen wire gauge 22👍

22 gauge

Are you using sterling or fine silver please

21 gauge wire

The hole is tighter than the wire. He softens the metal wire with heat, and then pull it through the hole to stretch it and make it thinner.

@@McJaews now i get it thanks man for the info 😇

That’s why ppl have a toothbrush.

@@ms.construed1305 many ppl do not have time, often neglect.

@@PrathameshPatade well..we manage to brush our teeth. Same can be said for jewelry. Even less so. I find it very lazy your interpretation of a lovely ring and inability to keep it clean even moderately. I’m guessing you do not have children…

@@ms.construed1305 you and I are on the same page. Both, you and I have liked this ring. And both have agreed, that it needs to be maintained. Am just letting the viewers know about it. Yes i don't have children, am single. But how does it relates to this topic ?

@@PrathameshPatade children need to be v,earned also. It’s just a fact.

I cannot speak for this person, but it tends to be a cultural thing. In some parts of the world, it is worn as a sign of wealth, or that they come from a high class social status. It basically shows that they don't do manual labour.

Thats a hilarious way to describe columbia

normally it for doing cocaine...some people also do it to show that they have enough money to afford cocaine. That why having long pinky nail is seen has a sign of wealth since cocaine it not cheap, I think it a poor way to show wealth or vice.
