- In this video I'll be making wall hooks using old cutlery. You don't need expensive tools and they are really fun to make. Also a great gift idea.
I also created an Amazon shop and will add tools, materials and books as time goes by.
Also check out my sculpture and mold making website.

What a great idea for our hall coat hooks! Thanks so much for the video!
Wonderful!!! Love your work, it is very fine art ! Thank you to look over your shoulder ❤️👍
Thank you so much for sharing. Absolutely beautiful work. ❤
Love this video! Thank you so much.
Love this tutorial thank you so much
You make it look so easy...
Well done man, love it. Cheers from Newfoundland
Heat the metal and when it’s cherry red twist it. That will prevent breaks. Do not quench that will make break offs easier to occur. Also working the metal does not make it harder but quenching it would though which also makes it more brittle and easier to break. Good job and nice work. Carry on
Quite nice work! Great idea! Thank you.
Love this. Thankyou
Great video, excellent attention to each step.
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Going to try, thank you...and thank you for advice in comments😀
Great video!
💙👍
So cool! Made forks into a piece of art. I actually just finished a mug rack using spoons. Nice job friend! :)
Thank you for your kind words.
You bet!! By the way, I subscribed. I hope I can earn yours too.👍🏽
Thanks so much. You've got my sub as well.
Great job !
Very interesting video. Why would hitting the tines make them harden up after a heat?
It is called work hardening. Then you have to re anneal before continuing.
Thanks
very nice!
Howzit Shamwari.... if you heat up the metal to cherry red then quench in water immediately you shouldn't get break offs. Letting it cool down slowly doesn't have quite the same effect on the metal structure. Are you ex Zim or SA?
Hi Mark. I will definately try that. I am an SA boy born and bred.
Thank you for that tip
What type of drill bit was used?
I used a standard steel bit
What type of flatware stainless or silver plate etc. do you prefer?
I've never actually worked with stainless steel cutlery. I go to secondhand shops and pick up whatever is available.
@@EmileTheart So silver plated cutlery works to do this?
@@claraandriessen8423 all these are silver plated and works just fine.
@@EmileTheart maybe you are very strong, or the Dutch silver plated cutlery is much harder. It s almost impossible to bend, even after heating. I have to heat it multiple times to bend small bits, with the risk of melting off the silver layer…
@@claraandriessen8423 most of the cutlery I use have very little plating left. Bit I kinda like the old look. It is still hard work as the metal does not soften a lot. The base metal also work hardens so need to be anealed a couple of times throughout the shaping process.
Nice South African accent.
I did the same with Stodoys :)
Is that an Austrian accent I hear?
Not rhe3 first time Ive been asked that. No, I am from South Africa. English is my 2nd language. Afrikaans is my 1st.
Need to keep your work in front of the camera
Kinda deceptive because this guy doesn't tell you that you must heat the fork to bend the teeth ,you must have the teeth red hot to bend them ,notice how he jumps past the heating process, yall ,put a thumbs down ,he is being deceptive.
When working with SS cutlery it needs to be red hot but with this old cutlery I found that heating makes the metal super brittle. So I much prefer cold bending. It takes a bit longer but I have no breakages.
This process works for me, so not being deceptive.
Thanks
