Copper will oxidize very fast but it can be done. You want the metal as clean as you can so pickling will take any of the oxidation off it. You have to use flux when doing this to keep it from oxidizing at the solder joint. Also heating will not mess up your metal unless you melt it.

That would depend on the finish you're looking to get. Normally when I patina a piece I don't polish it before adding the patina but I will use a polishing wheel on some parts after that or even a wire wheel to bring back some of the color from the metals. It all depends on how you want it to look. 😀

@GomeowCreations

Kristen Case First off I would like to say, Thank you for being my very 1st comment on youtube. :) Note: I have never used filled metals so this is what I think will happen. If you use the polishing bits (The rubber and diamond ones) on any metal, It will take metal off it. So I think you might be able to get away with maybe the blue one, just to clean up some scratches. If I had some filled wire, I would be more then happy to give it a try. As for the polishing compound and the fabric wheel I think that would work just fine. Renaissance wax: I use this on copper and brass mostly to keep it from tarnishing as fast as it would if it was just polished. Copper really likes to change color so if you do this it will "help" keep it sealed. I also have used it over clear coat to "help" keep the oils from people skin from eating away the clear coat. If you want something that will last a lot longer you will need to look for a metal sealer. I have some on its was to try out now. I will post a review of it after I test it. I hope this helps =)

I have been making these little swords and axes for the little people I discovered while researching nature and seeking bigfoot. As crazy at it sounds, I really get some good stuff for my efforts gifting them. I am writing a book and making a documentary on that adventure that I hope really gets out there. I like your rings because I know that I can make some larger rings and smaller rings for my spirited friends.

I plan to sell most of what I make at barter fairs, something that is becoming big here in Washington state. . I like making sculptures, and recently made a Sasquatch that took 162 hours. It has wire hair (25,000). I probably will start showing my other art and that of my family, we all are artists, all 5 of my kids and even some of the grandkids.

You can use a layer of hard clear resin on it that will last for some time but that is all going to be up to you. I honestly would just make copper jewelry for practice and anything you are going to use just make it in silver. If the copper color is a must you can plate the inside of the ring with silver or gold. Another option that I have been doing is make the inside out of a solid bit of silver so it will not react with the skin and the outside will have that nice copper look

Lacquer is basically a paint to cover the metal so air and acids can't get to it so it will not tarnish. If you are going to add a clear lacquer or paint to your work you need to make sure it's clean and all oils or waxes are removed do it will stick. When using the wax is good for storage but it will come off quickly if you are going to use the jewelry. Over the years I have learned not to fight with copper and brass jewelry and if you are going to make something using it make sure to add some silver to the parts of it that will come incompact with a persons skin. You can do this with plating or using a thin sheet of silver.

On some of my silver in the past I would use a lacquer but now I just polish and wax it and call it a day 😄👍

Nice video. A close up of the welding would have been helpful though. Personally, i like the natural copper tarnish so, wouldn't coat it

Thank you and at the time I was shooting my videos with my phone so I was a risk to get the phone tool close to the flame. Check out some of my newest videos, you might be able to see things a lot better and I think I explain stuff a lot better too. 😁👍

Great video. What happens if you don’t seal enamel it? Thank you in advance

Thank you, and if you don't seal it it will tarnish over time and it can turn your finger colors if you don't keep the inside clean.

Hi, I'm just starting out in this game and wanted to ask you about the formula for the circumference you used to get the length of the wire to cut out. If you were using diameter x 3.14 to get circumference then shouldn't it have been 17mm + 4mm for both sides of the wire? Or is the way you're doing it to get the circumference at the center of the wire?

You are right, this would make it too small but I have found that if you do it this way and hammer it to the right shape it will stretch out and you will be able to make it the perfectly sized

@@GomeowCreations Ahh, I get it totally now. Thanks very much, that was confusing the hell out of me until that cleared it up. I hadn't considered the working of the copper to get it round at all.

Hi... is it possible to add tiny Cz stones 1mm to a copper ring... all way round it? Too small for bezel... so can they be set inside band?

@GomeowCreations

+Clare Bailey that is very possible. You would have to drill into the band with a bur bit that is the same size as the stone then set it inside the band.

What kind are burr tools did you use Are they diamond tip

I wish I had a basement so that I can have my own small studio. I took a metalsmith class in my class and I miss making jewlery. Probably forgot a lot of the things I learned.

I was looking at apiece of copper that is 1.6m and fusing 2 pieces together .so that is where I'm at .btw thanks for your reply

Why clear coat and wax? I thought they did the same thing essentially? So why not one or the other? Thanks

Ok... I just had another thought/question... Can you put the ring in a tumbler with stainless steel shot to clean it and polish it? Or is all that sanding necessary to achieve the mirror shine? I'm always looking for an easy way, suppose. LOL! Thanks!

So you can use a tumbler but you are not going to get a mirror finish unless you take the time to polish it. 😁👍
