How to Make a Fork Ring

[@kristibbradshaw]

Chica didn't bother me. Lol. So cute. You are doing well. I love this.

[@JustJani]

Thank you!

Nice video. I’m new subscriber here. I have a cat that likes to get in my videos too. His names Gus. I’ve never tried annealing or softening silverplate forks. I always thought that it would mess up the silver plating on the surface. I’ve made many fork bracelets with the tines intertwined like yours. Have you ever tried electrolysis to replate your flatware? I’ve been thinking about looking into it as I can smooth a tine that gets a little chewed up but then the silverplating sometimes looks bad. Thanks for sharing!

[@JustJani]

Hi, Sorry for such a late reply. You can overdo it with the annealing and ruin your silver plate. Use the "sharpie trick" and they should be annealed just right. I have never tried to re-plate my silverware, but I saw a video where a lady did hers with a homemade set up. Hers came out great.

[@BobVan]

@@JustJani thank you. Electrolysis is fairly easy. I may add that option. Thanks again!

[@LuckSpinner]

Great Job showing us NewBees how to bend these forks and I really needed the education and I am also a Cat Lover and got a kick out of Chica trying to see what you were doing and talking to no one she could see~!! I liked and subscribed.

[@JustJani]

[@HoldFastFilms]

I don’t have a cat so I assume I can just skip the remove cat part? This looks amazing and thanks for sharing!

[@JustJani]

😂 Yes, you can skip that part. I should have mentioned that! Thank you!

[@kimhull5496]

Oh...and I loved your bloopers and I felt your pain😁

[@JustJani]

😂😂😂Some days be like that!

[@SaFaRiHunTreSS]

Thank you for posting this and i love your videos, New subbie! My question is .... are those blow torchie things apartment safe as far as smell and storage?

[@JustJani]

Hi, A torch like mine is probably not safe for an apartment since it has a fairly large gas tank. There are smaller torches that will work as well. Look for a “jewelry torch” online. Good luck and have fun!

[@julieritchie2479]

I love your videos! you mentioned you can file dings and marks out can you show how you do this?

[@JustJani]

Thank you! I’d be happy to make a video for that. I’ll get it made in the next day or so and send you the link.

Great video and really well explained. ❤

Thank you so much!

[@Her4Him269]

Where did you buy those particular bail making pliers? I like them.

[@JustJani]

Hi, These are my current bale making pliers. You might also want a size smaller for tighter curls. Here is a link: www.amazon.com/Beadsmith-Bail-Making-Pliers-Filigree/dp/B001V76XHK

[@Her4Him269]

@@JustJani Thank you I'm looking now. You do awesome work by the way.

[@tracienichols6739]

I had a cat for over 13 years that looked just like Chica. Tyler was older when we got him and he was previously declawed. He could climb trees and take down rabbits his own size. Wonder kitty! He had tatooed numbers in his ears. He may have been an experiment animal. Nothing could put him down not even coyotes until he got throat cancer. 😢

[@JustJani]

Awww… he sounds like a really cool cat! Chica was adopted from the SPCA. She is our oldest at 17 and she still plays like a kitten!

[@walkinghorsejones]

Thanks for your videos. You do a great job explaining. Do you have to use silver plate forks for fork jewelry? Would stainless steel work or is it to hard to bend stainless

[@JustJani]

Thank you! There are many people that use stainless. I don’t use it just because I like the look of silver plate. I would anneal the stainless to make it easier to bend. Good luck and have fun!

[@walkinghorsejones]

@@JustJani thanks for the reply 👍. I have tons of stainless..I do have a fair amount of silver plate..just thought I might practice first on the stainless..I wonder if you heat stainless first if it's easy to clean up afterwards..again thanks for sharing. Look forward to seeing the next videos. Be safe 🙏❤.

[@JustJani]

@@walkinghorsejones Pretty sure it cleans up just the same as silver plate. I run mine in a tumbler. Some makers only polish and buff. Let me know what you try and how it works for you.

[@astridsunderland555]

Beautiful!!

[@JustJani]

Thank you!!!

[@santinobanzato1243]

hi just jani can you advise me where to find delrin blocks and metal pins

[@JustJani]

Hi, What you’re looking for is called a Bender Press Kit. They’re designed and sold by Flatwearable Artisan Jewelry. They sell both new and used. The kit attaches to a one ton arbor press that you buy separately. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with. Here are the links: flatwearable.com/product/flatwearable-bender-press-classic-v2a/ www.harborfreight.com/1-ton-arbor-press-59766.html?campaignid=425661431&adsetid=1155588618286049&product=59766&store=195

[@williamwalls9768]

This is really neat

[@JustJani]

Thank you!

[@RideForLifeVegas]

What is the name make and model of the press and does it come with the white blocks

[@JustJani]

I don’t remember the model number of mine. The kit does come with the white nylon blocks. You buy an arbor press (mine is from Harbor Freight) and you replace the ram with the one in the kit. Their website is: flatwearable.net/

[@crystalfabulous]

Love the video 😂

[@JustJani]

Thank you!

[@TerrySTUBSZlinski]

That fork is going to be hard to eat with now 😂

[@shadetreeforge]

Are you anealling stainless or silver?

[@JustJani]

Hi, These are silver plated.

[@sonjacarter2332]

[@JustJani]

Hi, Sorry, I don’t have any made right now. Check Shana’s website. She usually has a lot in stock. 😃 www.silverwearbyshana.com/
