Girl!!!! I just bought a random set of spoons last week! I’m excited to work with them!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Yay!! That's awesome! I can't wait to see, this is such a fun project 😍 I'm very curious how yours look like and what you'll make with them 😀

That is a handsome belt sander

[@Dippedinsilver1974]

Those turned out so well!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you!

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

Thank you for sharing the lovely work but I looked on the links and that great ring bending tool it’s over $300 as most of the tools are. I wish I could get them all but it’s just not possible. I’m glad Pepe tools is supportive of you as you do lovely work.

[@deanolsen-gw7hi]

You're Angel got that spoon for you

[@LuckSpinner]

Love that you found the spoon on the ground! That's an awesome story! 😁✨️

[@ConnorDukes]

Great rings 🔥

[@Hotrocket85]

I just order a ring bender today cant wait to start my journey

[@samdiamant2478]

I would reccomend you using a bolt cutter to cut the spoon, makes it much easier(: Wonderful rings also!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's a great tip, thank you! I don't have that tool, but maybe it's about time I got one 😀

[@Resellingwithcrystal]

These are perfect thanks

[@SusanLevchik]

Hi! Thank you for this lovely video along with all of your videos. You are an incredible maker! Your work is amazing! We have some spoons left behind by my Grandma. I have to see if i can find them. In the meantime could you recommend a ring bending tool on a budget. Pepe tools is great but out of my budget. Sorry to bother you with this but i thought you may have another recommendation. If not no worries. Thank you again!!

[@allanthompson9695]

I wrote a long message and forgot to send before changing to your next video and lost it. Never mind. Great video Basia.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh no, that's a shame! But thank you for commenting anyway and for watching, I appreciate it a lot 😊

[@quietspacearts]

love this but not got any ring bending machines or any pretty silver cutlery as live on an island so sad as i love these x

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Oh no, that definitely makes things harder! But I hope you'll be able to try it out maybe in the future. Thank you so much for watching anyway 🥰💕

Once again, my 50+ years experience making spoon rings has me advising that an ugly spoon always makes an ugly ring.

[@babyshiori]

i have a nice gold spoon my grandparents got from Europe that i want to turn Into a ring

[@NeostheticProduction]

And in your 50+ years you still haven't learned how to craft constructive criticism or manners. Aesthetics are subjective. Constructive criticism actually brings information that she can use to improve her skills. Advising people about aesthetics you don't like when the rings were not made for you to begin with is not helpful and is just rude.

Do u make jewelry for people? I have patterned sterling silver spoons and I'd like to have rings or necklaces made from them. Thanks

[@williambradford7150]

I'm curious as to whether the spoons you used are sterling silver or silver plated?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Sadly, not sterling silver, but very likely silver plated. The price for these wasn't high, so I'm sure they aren't sterling silver

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I found both sterling, silver and silver plated. I wonder if there’s a difference it seems like any of them that are stainless steel, for example, seem to be even harder to cut with a saw.

Do you find silver plated gives a bad skin reaction?

[@StevenLowe575]

I’m looking at the bender but they seem to only go down to size 5. How do you make a ring that’s smaller than a size 5 US?

[@pennyhayes1892]

What different types of metal are you using,? Sterling, silver, plated, stainless ?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

In my work I mostly use sterling and fine silver. I started using brass and I'm also going to start using solid gold more often. For some reason I don't like copper. Oh, and in the past I also worked with gold filled metal, which is a cheaper alternative to solid gold. I sometimes do some gold plating on silver myself

[@Yasinnabawy]

What is the tool name for drape spoon?

[@maladylis08]

Do you anneal them first befor bending ? I always anneal mine and then wrap them one and a half times around so there is no gap. Yours are very pretty !

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi Lisa! I haven't annealed these ones, but it's a good idea to do so! It's probably why they were harder to bend (I haven't annealed them to see if I can bend them like this and keep the original finish and patina). Thank you so much! I want to try other looks too, especially the one where you overlap and wrap around more than once 😍

[@maladylis08]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing when you anneal them, just do it on the back of the handle of the spoon so it won't hurt the patina of the spoon. Watch it as you anneal them and maybe try it on some parts your not using so you can see how it works. I've never had a problem with the heat and I use a big plumber's torch. Hope it helps !

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

@@maladylis08 wow that’s cool that you use a big plumbers torch and it’s all OK. I don’t really have space or anywhere to use fire in my place but I’m gonna start going back to school and I will be able to do many things that I can’t do it home there.

[@maladylis08]

@@evelynvongizycki1017 you can take a bunch outside and do them all at once. Then put them aside for when your ready to make rings as you go. It sure makes it easier to bend them !

[@evelynvongizycki1017]

@@maladylis08 I think I can. I guess I have to work on getting a source of fire first I live in Jersey City New Jersey. It can get really cold or really hot depending on the time of year. I guess I can sneak into the yard and do it. I have to get up the nerve to do all this since it is fire and what have you again so I might try and do it first in school

[@brians_life_compass]

Hello can you bend stainless steel forks etc in that ring bender ? Thank you

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'll be completely honest. I THINK you can, I think I saw people do that, but I'm not 100% sure. If you drop Pepetools a message, they will reply to you for sure! :)

[@ceyhuncosqun1212]

👏🏻✌️👍🏿

[@guillermonera1888]

3 easy steps but your tools are for professional! I think what you are trying to say was it is easy to watch you doing it.🤭

[@jasonsgems3369]

Krakows streets are lined with silver spoons! Must have missed that. A word of warning for those in the UK with sterling silver (or gold) spoons/forks which are hallmarked. The hallmarking act 1973 does a Stirling job in maintaining the quality of gold, silver and platinum in the UK, but Section 5, subsection 1 states "it shall be an offence for any person to make an addition, alteration or repair to an article bearing approved hallmarks, except in accordance with the written consent of an assay office." This includes turning cutlery into jewellery. The written consent is in the form of a "Change of Use" certificate which you get from the assay office once they are sure that it hasn't been adulterated. Sheffield Assay Office has a good page on the subject.

[@nevergiveup9321]

Very intresting!

[@LauraHinckley]

Where is the sander from?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

This one is by Pepetools, I've linked it under the video, in the description box, if you want to check it out 👍

[@nesa11904]

How much do spoon rings go for I just made 5 and someone asked how much I had no idea what to tell them?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I'm not sure either, but you check on Etsy to get an idea of how the general pricing looks like for these. Then consider your time and the cost of the spoon, how original it is (or even if it's an antique spoon) etc :)

[@nikkiharvey2162]

That was a gift from God, there are no coincidences. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved 🥰🙏🙌

[@kelshaarrindell9580]

Hopefully you reply 🙏 i was wondering where you get your spoons with these kind of patterns online

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I searched for them in antique shops around my city :)

What's that tool you use for bending the spoons ??

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

A ring bending tool from Pepetools 😀

[@tkarlmann]

Do your rings have steel in them?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I think these do - they aren't entirely sterling silver, so I think they can be an alloy or even steel. Though I'm not 100% sure, as I didn't get that information from the seller

[@tkarlmann]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Are you able to anneal them; how?

is it stainless one, or silver oen?

Hi! I think they are steel and silver plated. I don't think these spoons were solid silver, but they are partially silver

3 easy steps: 1. Buy $10K worth of equipment 2. Watch this video 3. Make a ring! 😀😜😜😃

oh come on, not 10k! haha 😜 To make spoon rings you really don't need a lot, a ring bender would be extremely helpful, the rest can be even purchased at a hardware store :)
