Tutorial for Copper Bracelet 

	OK, here is a list of the things you will need. 18ga wire, 24ga wire , Measuring tape, hand drill,  mandrel for making coils  Chain nose pliers, round nose pliers, step pliers, bent nose pliers, flush cutters, beads of various sizes with holes big enough to go through the 18ga wire, files. You will also need a rawhide mallet and anvil. Please read through all instructions before beginning this tutorial.  Enjoy!
	Place your mandrel in your drill chuck.  I use a piece of 14ga silver wire left over from another project.  I use a piece of tape to hold down the end of my wire before winding.  I make my coils approx 4 1/2" long.  This is a little hand drill hubby bought me at Home Depot.  It uses AA batteries and goes forever.
	I use an Axe handle as a bracelet mandrel.  It's good hard wood, oval shape and cost effective.  Since it is hard wood, it is great for tapping with the rawhide malet. Now, cut an odd number of wires 5/7/9 and lay them flat and place a piece of tape in the middle of the wires to hold them nice and flat.  Tape one end of the wires too.
	This is the back view of your wires wrapping around your bracelet mandrel
	Bring your wires across each other - keeping them nice and straight.  Then you are going to bend them in a 90 degree angle.  Keeping them as straight as possible
	Your bracelet should now look like this.
	Continue to twist your wires to make a complete circle "knot".  This is very much like one of the ring shanks many of us have worked with. Be sure to use your rawhide/rubber mallet to whak your wires to hold them in place securely.
	You can now remove your bracelet from the mandrel. Now the fun begins.
