hello today I'm going to show you how to make a bird-shaped copper ring from scratch with a few hand tools.

Tools:

  • scissors
  • hand saw
  • copper foil
  • files
  • torch (optional)
  • hammer

These hammers win them in the Jewelry Contest 2017! You can see my project here.

Once the paper template had been cut, he proceeded to stick it on the copper foil and proceeded to cut the shape with the hand saw, and then tighten the edges with a small file.

Pressing with my hands on a tube-shaped surface try to give it its ring shape and finish the work by tapping gently with some hammers. then proceeded to polish the piece.

Finish!
