[@PabloCimadevila]

One of my favorite tools of Pepetools. Great review!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much Pablo! Always so happy to see you here 😊 And yes, all of their tools are awesome, but this one, I don't know how I managed without it before!

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya Lady Stardust, & it is that easy? Good demo, clear & concise, thank you. You are getting very good at teaching equipment use, well done & many more please!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

thank you Stephen! Glad you've enjoyed watching :)) There will be more for sure! 😊

[@stephencoster9532]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Good it's a pleasure to watch you & I love your voice...

[@JayDub_143]

I have really been wanting this tool especially for my silver wear jewelry!! Thanks for another fab vid! 😁

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I must say, it's worth investment for sure 😃 Thank you so much for watching!

[@melodyrose1985]

I’m really glad you posted this. I ended up getting this tool In a box of supplies to bend the handle of silverware into rings on Facebook marketplace. For the whole box of supplies the person was selling inpaid $40. When I got it I was like hey I know that brand name! I wasn’t sure how to use it and I’m glad to see how it easy it is to use, I’m going to make my first purchase of silver soon!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

wow, that's so awesome!! What a bargain! 😍 Yes, using this tool is super easy, and honestly, there's so much more you can do with it than just rings. It's useful for any bending you might have 😃 Purchase some silver and have fun with making and bending my dear. And thank you for watching ⭐

How did it go with bending spoons?

[@melodyrose1985]

@@casadonnelly2498 so I don’t have the tool fixed to a table and the silverware is not very flexible and I wonder if it needs to be annealed (I think that’s the right word). But I did actually bend the band of a ring I wear all the time pretty badly and I was able to make is circular again very very easily. My work bench is set up for my stained glass projects, im not set up for metal smithing yet!

[@emy_themua2015]

I’m so late to this review 😢 BUT glad I found it, I’m rather small and don’t have the best upper body strength my go to at the moment has been using my bale shaping pliers I just don’t get along with half round, but this has just changed the game for me, this little silversmith in training can now make her chunky rings of dreams, thank you hun and thank you Pepe 😆💓🙏

What are some cheaper alternatives? But something that is good quality and going to do a MIGHTY FINE job

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I don't know any, sorry! From my experience it's hard to find something that will offer both. It's either cheap price or good quality that does a mighty job 😃 When I first started, I obviously went for cheapest options. But I can tell you, while there's lots of great cheap tools, there's also loads withc which you end up paying twice for replacements or upgrades. They will damage your metal, they will break, they won't be of good quality. If the ring bending tool is out of the budget for now, I would really recommend putting the monay towards a good quality ring bending pliers, rather than a cheap knock off of the tool. Good ring bending pliers can do a great job and won't damage or mark the metal.

hi i just came across this video bc i’m interested in purchasing this tool! how can we differentiate between what sizes the little knobs are?

[@doracarrington9219]

I would like to know if this machine if strong enough to bend stainless steel please?

[@Galactic_Empire_Ruler]

Do you know if any tools to make smaller rings? Sizes 4-9?

[@trestamme9829]

Hey, can this be used to bend a skewed ring back to be round again?

[@ShannonShenanigans79]

What kind of wire was the first that you used?

[@insomniac1016]

Hello! I just got started with a similar tool Unfortunately I don’t have anywhere to bolt it down to. You mentioned a bench vise in the video, could you elaborate?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

oh yes, you can hold it in the bench vise, but the opening needs to be more than 7cm I believe, mine was too narrow and I couldn't fit this tool in there

[@kayleighb2007]

Could you use this to bend cutlery into rings? or do you need to use thinner metal?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Of course! This ring bender is perfect for spoon rings. I have two videos about making spoon rings on my channel and there's lots of videos on KZbin 😀

[@catherinemartina6469]

What determines the ring size how do you know which ring size equals what dye?

[@SS-ec6bd]

Does it bend stainless steels? Is ,,Delrin dies“ enough or do I need Delrin dies and post”

[@dragonflysdiscoveries7567]

I noticed a lot of movement in the "bolt" when you are making the ring. Is that normal?

[@TrentonFletcherMusic]

Is there a cheaper alternative to the pepe tools ring bender that is decent?

[@cheri6785]

This is incredible! Do you have this bolted to your table?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

I do, the ring bending part. OItherwise it would move constantly and I wouldn't be able to do any bending 😆

[@lissah8452]

What a neat tool!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

isn't it? It's really great, I can't imagine not using it now haha 😃

[@GodfrinFNP]

What if I want a 30° or 45° angle??

[@LionPunchForgeLPF]

One of my favorite tools

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

it's so clever and useful! Perfect design too :))

[@mohammadfaris8712]

Can i find more shapes

[@TheSilverSmithsBench1]

I just purchased mine!

[@emmausoxford2124]

Do you have a link to where you purchased this? I really need one!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Sure! Please check out the description box under the video! :)

[@cathywebb5923]

Can you use it to make rings out of spoons?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Absolutely!! 😀 Lots of people use it in their spoon ring businesses. I have a couple of videos on my channel where I show the spoon ring making process, feel free to check them out! Here's a more recent one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKDSc6Ooi7xorNEsi=GRTnmLJ-dX4fozq2

[@marijkeo1]

So imagine I want to make a ring of 15mm or 16,5. How can I do that using the ring bending tool?

[@johnhowton6339]

good demo

[@eljay0110]

How can we tell what size ring?

[@Cleanerjourney]

How hard is it to bend steel using this tool?

[@andreameigs1261]

How do you keep it from marking up the wire?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

These white attachments (delrin dies) don't mark the metal, I only use them. I rarely use the metal ones. These are the ones pepetools.com/products/optional-delrin-dies-for-superior-ring-bending-tool

[@makuuse]

Does it leave any tool marks?

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

The metal bits could if you're not careful, but the Delrin dies never leave any marks

[@makuuse]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Ok. Thanks! I am trying to find cost effective way to create D-rings for knife seaths. No tool markes are allowed, so this seems like a good tool :D

[@davidobuck4838]

Will there be an actual demo video at some point?

[@bbjsrevenge1430]

It’s always the man being rude. Every. Time.

Kinda takes the fun out of it

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Depends on what brings you joy 😀 bending rings with this tool is a lot of fun personally for me, especially when it comes to thick wires or spoons, things I'm struggling to bend the traditional way 😀
