This is how you can turn single strand electrical copper wire to make jewelry, in this case a cuban link bracelet. The steps are the following:
-Strip the insulation
-Straighten by twisting both ways with a drill
-Clean remaining residue
-Coil around a rod (the diameter of the rod should be more than twice that of the wire)
-Cut the coiled wire lengthwise to form individual links
-Assemble links then closing them using two pliers
-Weld them shut (I am using a TIG welder but you can braze them together)
-Twist the whole chain to form the desired "twisted links"
-Flatten with a hammer
-File down one side of the chain to get the cuban look
-Sand and polish for looks and you are done!
