TORQUE KNOT BANGLE | INTERMEDIATE


1: MEASURE THE WIRE Measure the wire to the required length.


For this project I’ve used 7” length to make a 60mm diameter bangle.


2: PREPARE THE WIRE File the ends of the wire flat.


3: GENTLY HEAT Anneal the wire ready for forming.

5: SHAPE THE WIRE Using the bangle mandrel, raw hide mallet and nylon


mallet, loosely shape the wire to your desired shape making sure there is a big enough gap at the top to add the beads (approximately 30mm). You may need to repeat step 3–5 a few times until the bangle has formed.


6: CREATE A RECESS Using the 3mm ball burr, create a recess for the 6mm


Silver bead to sit into. Make sure you check the fit using the 6mm bead as you drill.

4: QUENCH & PICKLE After annealing, quench the wire in water, then put it


into the safety pickle until clean. 5
