      Technically yes if you want to get into the semantics of it it's not technically pure silver. What I mean is that is sold sterling silver. I'm just trying to get the point across that it is solid and not plated or filled. 😅👍

    Walking through a craft fair, my wife commented positively about these rings. My tinker brain said I can do this. Her birthday was coming up so perfect. I got a small dessert spoon (925 sterling silver), cut it, and slowly hammered it into shape. Beautifully polished, gave it to my wife and I was the talk of her social circle. Fast forward 10 months and we are hosting a group of friends for dinner. My kids are setting the table and one of them tells my wife that we were short one small spoon. She immediately made the connection and boy did I get an earful. To make matters worst, that silverware pattern had been discontinued for decades and can’t find a replacement. My wife bought a super cheap plastic set that she uses for my table setting when we are hosting as my penance. To this day, whenever silverware is involved, I am the talk of her social circle. Great video but make sure you don’t use your wife’s good silverware.

    For Christmas I bought her quite a few tools. Tapping block set, ring pliers, a polished block anvil and assorted hammers, eyelet forming pliers and about 500 assorted Drexel/die grinder and polishing bits.
    The ring bender is very nice. I might buy her one if I knew where to get one.

    I use stainless steel, much harder to work with but once finished look absolutely bad ass. But it is definitely a lot harder, but you have more choices if you can't find silver. And annealing it the taking wool adds such a beautiful patena. I highly recommend if you have the Patience because it is hard But well worth it in the end result. And very durable

    Good video. I feel like we’re pretty similar in skill. I have a studio at home too. If you wanna connect, let me know.
    As for the patina rainbow color, it’ll turn dark over time just like leaving it in the LoS for for longer . You have to spray it with a clear coating to keep the air from further oxidizing it. It’s similar to flame coloring but most jewelers dont want to apply a clear coat because it changes the feel of the metal.

    I have found sterling that was not marked more times than I could count at yard sales and thrift stores often people put it with the cheaper stuff because it isn't marked...I have gotten to where I can pretty much tell by the feel of it but I always confirm with my little test kit. I get silverware for less than a dollar apiece if it is unmarked..I dont feel this is deceptive ..I have the forethought to test it...people who are selling this stuff should do the same.
    ..like you mentioned it is much heavier..also the old silver has pockmarks as silver is quite soft and gets dents and dings over time! Great video!

    One way to dispose of Liver of Sulphur - let it sit open air till it turns white, then pour it on your tomatoes. They love sulphur minerals. Once it is white, it becomes inert.
    Bet those rainbow rings would look cool if you polished up only the raised pattern and left the rainbow effect on the rest of the ring. Very lovely finish!

    I have been buying silverware and silverplate for 5 or so years at garage sales and flea mkts. I recently bought a 3 drawer silver chest at a rerun store,, for 49.00. It wasn't very old but it was beautiful with very delicate butterflies and flowers and it had 3 different partial sets of flatware. One was 16 pcs, silverplate from the 40's, one was 30 pcs, sterling silver from the 40's and one was 18 pcs, very modern stainless from Walmart. Most of the spoons were missing. All of the butter knives were there. Odd, I thought.

    Hey I have a request, in light of recent news developments. I saw on your website you have experience with Steampunk design, and I would like to request that you create a themed youtube series on Steampunk design for jewelry and possibly other constructions. It is a very cool genre and I think many would find it interesting, and would find YOUR point of view on it interesting. Further, the Gamestop thing going on in the metal market is currently artificially jacking the price of silver right now and this seems like a great time to focus on designing finished work with copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, found objects, etc until the craziness calms down and gets back to normal. What do you think?

    I never thought of doing something like this, I have a huge dessert spoon and fork that belonged to my family but I'll never actually use. My cutlery is a bit big to turn into a ring but this is such a good idea for sentimental or mismatched silverware

    Very interesting….years,…..I mean a lot of years ago, when I was a child, my Father made a spoon ring, it was pretty….I always was curious as to how he did it…..Now I know…thank you for the explanation video. 👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼

    I do a rainbow coat by putting cast sterling into a jar with an egg yolk, it works best on castings with a degree of micropouroisity
    the thing about both egg and LoS is it can wear off eventually with handling

    • @GomeowCreations
      @GomeowCreations  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah it will wear off eventually over time but it's very easy to get it back if you want it. 😁
      The egg thing does also work seeing that it contains sulfur. It's just easier for me to have los on hand 👍

    I don’t know if you are familiar with her, but Suzanne Angle of Flatwearable Creations has a tool that’s used with an arbor press that makes these rings without kinks. You can also make bracelets with her tool. She has a UA-cam channel, as well. Also, I use that LOS for copper, but I’ve never been able to get those colors with my silver pieces. Great informative demo, Randy 👍🏼👏🏻

    Well I just made a ring out of a stainless steel tea spoon and all you really need is a hammer of a decent size and something round like a big old bolt around 1" thick/finger size and a way to secure the bolt or whatever to a sturdy table. A few small files too are good to clean up rough edges.
    These are just the things you need for hobby level though.

    Hey Randy, could you please go into more detail to explain how to correctly size a wide band ring such as the spiral spoon ring in this video. I’m having trouble finding info about this anywhere. My issue is making a custom wide band ring for a (eg) size 7 finger that will properly fit a person I’ve never met. Where on that spiral band would you expect it to sit on the 7 size on your mandrel. I have also seen designers advertise that their wide band ring is a 7.5 and will fit a 7 or 7.25. Could you please consider doing a video on all these wide band sizing issues and perhaps anything else you might know of that would help.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
