This video was recorded at the ANU School of Art and Design Jewellery and object workshop.
Thanks for watching!
My dad was a jeweler. I remember seeing him do all this in his shop. Just hope your wearing mask and making sure you don’t breath all that in. My dad died of throat cancer and I truly believe it was cause of this
im sorry to hear that :( my english is bad but i still understand you
Sorry to hear that.
sorry to hear that stay up bro
Look at his hands, no he doesn't care about all that airborne metals
I'm truly sorry to hear that
Aww thank goodness I got this recommendation, I was just planning on making a Cuban chain today!
This is probably a joke, but if it’s not, good luck.
Thats so wholesome. Thanks, but yeah - was a joke! Wish I had the skill (and patience) to actually do that
Same dude
Stealing my ideas are we?
Murray John Beard it was a joke ffs
I know nothing about video editing. But this video was extremley confortable to watch. The editing on this is excellent, not to loong shots, not to short, there was not. A single moment i got bored or skipped a part. The music on the background is excellent too. About the chain.. a masterpiece. Keep it up guys. ❤️🇦🇷
I agree ! :)
I skipped like five times cuz my phone's dying
if you notice the shots switch at the same time a bar of the music starts, so everytime theres a specific "thud" or "kick" in the song/beat, the shot changes or something happens, making it really satisfying to watch :)
loved how he presented the gold in hte dark with the moving light. was an awesome touch
try counting to 5 before the next shot. protip, you cant
Without I doubt , best looking bike lock I have ever seen 👌
cuban bike 👌
Very noice👌
Best looking, least effective.
Well at least they will steal this instead of my bike 😔
Lol 👍
Thanks youtube algorithm, I always wanted to know how to make a Cuban chain
To be honest I did have a slight curiosity.
Hahahaha same lol
Lmao
yes
Life is complete
Instructions not clear, made an australian chain.
Just turn it upside down!
Bruh moment
Lmfao
ah shit, not again

He never claimed it was gold idk why people hating it's about the craftsmanship
Literally not a single soul said anything about it not being gold

Grew up in Cuban-American community so it’s cool to see how this chain is made. Making that clasp was impressive.
Bro what is you talkin bout
@@putamadre6518 I grew up in Key West, Florida and this style of chain was very popular so it was cool to see how it is made, especially the clasp which is the part that holds the chain together at each end.

The great part is that because this comment isn't specific to any other video, it can be copied and pasted into a recommendation meme.
I don't know the slightest thing about chains or jewelery, but as the son of a professional video editor and with my own experience as an amateour one, I can say this is a great video. I love the shots, the music and the editing! Congratulations to the editor and the crew that provided the excelent material. Last but not least, I really like that chain! Takes a lot of talent to create such a piece and such a video!
Thank you! It's all a one man operation so this means a lot
Zalakos what’s this song?? It’s super dope
Came for the chain. Stayed for the music 😎
The Truth what is this song
Yea what the hell
For real! Dope ass beat
Elijah Tamaira it's supposedly called Powder by Jaymvrc but it's no where on the web... i'd suggest you to download this video as a mp3 file and rename it, video is 6mins long and has no interruptions whatsoever
The beat is super chill 👌

Inverse relationship here between the polished chain and dirty hands of the craftsman. Guess that's what it takes

I’m a jeweler. Best part of this video was not the curb chain; it was the clasp you made. Trust me that was far skill and challenge than the chain.
Yes I loved that part so cool
Can you craft me a +300 might ring?, I'll give you the mat
@Thomas Salmon wow you are right it does. I wish you would have pointed that out to begin with lol. I retract my statement, you are 100% correct
@@ryanmcgauley7358 the dude said hes a jeweler what's hard to believe about that man wants links to his Facebook lmfao😂 And if you're a jeweler you'd know what the hardest part of making a certain piece of jewelry would be. Just like if you're a mechanic changing a AC compressor you know what part sucks the most when doing that job.
Drew Cecato amen brother
Excellent filming and cinematography, the music was also good and the shots in the end were top teir. An excellent video. CZcams recommendations did not disappoint me.
The amazing thing about this is that it's a young person making the bracelet. Kudos 👍
I like the contrast of the finished product with the stained hands and mossy stone. Nice work.

its really cool to see how much work goes into chains that rappers wear
And sell them for overpriced amounts
David Watts um yea with a shit ton of diamonds on them and made out of gold u think it’s gonna be cheap? Are u stupid?
@@Caleb-vq2uy hes not wrong tho. theres like a 1000% mark up based on the momey spent on those materials. just for example, Johnny Dang(famous in rap jewellery) can make and sell you a chain for 20k but a jeweller will probably charge 80-100k.
Caleb Ebel say bruh u do realize buying this would be cheap cos it ain real gold right?

Can’t beat handmade jewellery, always better quality than the mass produced stuff
@Viking 1982 better than your chain
Chains are always hand made! you don’t now what jewelery is!
I’ve worked in the jewellery trade for 11 years, Handmade hands down is far better quality 😂
Sarah-Louise McVeigh yeah but im saying is, they are always handmade!...
Are you from the uk? We have a lot of mass produced jewellery here, probably imported. I see a lot of older jewellery which has been handmade which has stood the test of time. It may be different in other countries?
The randomness of the universe brought me here. That was actually really cool. I know I couldn't do that without some practice. Nice job

It’s a bigger hassle to wear gloves than to do it bare hand. The gloves tends to tear and get caught on the polisher. I used to waste more time getting new gloves on rather than just washing my hands for a solid 2 minutes.

Metals like stainless steel and iron rust, while .925 sterling silver, copper, and other alloys tarnish. Rust slowly eats into the metal while tarnishing only happens on the surface, unlike rust you could prevent fading if you clean your jewelry. Lmfao tbh idek if dat information is right but it's what I know and go off of.. 🤷🏾♂️

I'm surprised how you managed to polish it between links. Impressive.
If you've ever used a polish wheel on a bench grinder you'd know at high rpms it gets in lots of little spaces. The chain wont stay like that for very long however as brass will oxidize from chemical reaction
kоvу It could be coated to keep it from oxidizing.
Thumbler
He used a very tiny file, the size of half a matchhead. It's called a rice-file. The machine wheel was just to polish the outside. The inside was polished by a match-wheel. Very useful tools

No one:
CZcams: let’s recommend how to make a Cuban chain
I wanna take a metal working class. My highschool has a welding class I wanna take, full certifications and everything.
Don't become a welder. The pay is alright but there's so many health risks and you can't really be as artistic. I'm currently pursuing a machining degree and I highly reccomend it. You get to work with metal and make more mechanically complicated things and there is more room for artistry and creativity.
I'm not really trying to be artistic I wanna make a career out of it. I live in alaska, living here is a health risk so I'm not really worried.
I first watched this video 5years ago and still come back just to listen to the song 6mins of a mellow vibe 😍😍😍 love it
Wow, all the labor per hour is not nearly worth the $50 of green wrist changeing that this bracelet will afford. Bravo!
