Silver Ball And Socket Chain Tutorial
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video tutorial I share my process of creating a Ball And Socket Chain. Thats what I call it, anyway. If you know the actual name of this type of chain, let me know!
This is how I do it. If you do it differently, thats cool, I welcome your kind input.
If you found this video at all helpful, I'd be so grateful if you tapped the thumbs up button and subscribe to my channel. Thank you for stopping by and as always, may you be safe, happy, well and free.

New subscriber! I love your style of working and your personality. I've had my own jewelry business for 10 years and have been making pieces for 30 years. I do mostly wire wrapping and am self-taught metalsmith, so I live learning from experts like yourself. Thanks for the videos. Namaste 🙏 K

Sadly no money for one nor space. I am just a hobbyist as very slow. Love new ideas and designing.

This is exactly what I was waiting for. So good to see how you make this chain. Would you mind telling me what kind of torch you are using please ? Is it with oxygen? Thank you so much. 🍀

Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it. I’m using an oxy propane Smith Little Jewelrs torch that I got from Rio Grande. Don’t get it off Amazon as some are not authentic Smith Littles and I’ve heard nightmare stories about them. Thanks for watching and happy smithing!
But cheaper than medication and mental health care! Dogs and playing with jewelry. Copper wire 18g at lowes is cheap!!!
