Turning a copper pipe into a ring? It's possible. Follow the video to learn how to recycle old materials and turn them into something amazing.
Want to learn more about making jewelery? I recommend this book found on amazon: amzn.to/2vOeXyB It really helped me with technique and learning how to manipulate the metal!

don't file work on a ring mandrel as it will mar the tool. These scratches will get transferred to later work. Put the ring in a ring holder and brace it against the bench pin when filing.

@quincyharris3068 2 года назад

I just recently got into ring making and don't have a ring holder so I just use old sockets lol

The best lessons are from making mistakes 😎

@TristanBehrens Год назад

Can I ask why you didn't just cut a band from the ring and just use that rather that flattening and reshaping it, or is it purely due to the diameter of the pipe?

@katherinegibson5752 4 года назад

Wow, great job, a lot of work goes into one ring.

@geminaljane 2 года назад

if you heat up the metal and then brush with a wire brush WHILE hot it'll go by a lot faster, get the scale off. also copper can be worked hot or cold and if you anneal it, some of the black will come off from quenching too.

@garymyers6638 2 года назад

If you heat it up and quench it, the structure will move better and the quenching removes most of the crud for you.

Seeing you scratch up your mandrel made me cringe

I've got two, one for hammering and one for sanding/filing

V interesting video. When you say about polishing releases particles, what part of polishing? The compound, the copper, polishing wheel? Subscribed too :)

@70Hedone 2 года назад

Отличная работа! Спасибо за видео. Подскажите, а каким припоем вы пользуетесь?

@garymyers6638 2 года назад

You already had a ring when it was a pipe. I don’t get the cutting it open and then brazing it back.

@garymyers6638 2 года назад

Use a pipe cutter. It’s so much easier and makes a better cut

@robervar1097 Год назад

Fun-tastic. Pipe cutter right?As long he was shaping and pounding anyways ? Then nip of extra oh well 🤷

What is a sonic cleaning device? Any temperature/and what types of solvent did you put inside the water?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 3 года назад

It's a cleaner from harbor freight, just using the basic solvent that comes with it

@garethbaus5471 2 года назад

Ultrasonic cleaners often just have soapy water in them and use sound waves to dislodge hard to reach peices of contamination. They are often used to clean glassware in laboratories.

@zenamcfarlandgentris6375 3 года назад

I noticed you were using things you had, metal ring sizer, and that was attached to your table. I live in small apt, what supplies to get to make copper rings (that I can put in a storage bin; portable)?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 3 года назад

Mandrel, jewelers saw, small butane torch, copper solder, third hand, ceramic plate, sand paper, and polishing cloth is all you need. Could easily fit in a small tote

@amysue1616 Год назад

Did you try it?

@kirtandrews1859 Месяц назад

Hello beautiful ring. Cam i ask what dod you use to solder with ? I know you used some flux from what i could see. But i didnt see what you used to actually solder it with. Thank you hole you can answer.

@Sheepdog1314 3 года назад

don't sand while on the mandrel

@dannieleander6814 9 месяцев назад

How cool❤ had to buy an expander to try my self... but the copper keeps breaking😢 why is that? Im using a 15mm copper that I need to expand to 17.6mm is the strech to much, or am i dooing something else wrong? Hope someone can enlighten me❤

@derekdbc 4 года назад

excellent video! did you used a copper wire to weld the tips?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 4 года назад

It's a hard copper solder! Has a slightly lower melting point than copper but a similar color so it makes for a good joint

@rabugenta3612 3 года назад

Do you use a regular butane/propane torch or silversmith torch with oxygen?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 3 года назад

I'm using just a regular propane torch in this, copper doesn't require alot of heat to work with

loved this! what grits did you go threw in polishing with the sand paper? and was any sealant needed?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF 4 года назад

Start at 400grit and work up to 2000grit. I put a thin layer of clear nail polish on after to keep it from tarniahing

Hay this is Amazing neat project. Say question my Dad says Copper will make my finger back is this true?

@TOMMAKESSTUFF Год назад

Yes, when bare copper is exposed to the elements it's will oxidize to a greenish/black color. That has the possibility of staining you skin. It can be avoided by putting a clear coat finish on the copper prior to wearing any of the jewelry

@vincentlekei1969 Год назад

@@TOMMAKESSTUFF okay sweet thank you. So any clearcoat will do ?
