You are the ones who turned me on to these floating hearts, I love them and my customers love them. Would you tell me the size of your metal shear used to cut off the handles? There are many sizes to choose from! Thanks for the great tutorial, I’ve been back many times to watch and listen!
❤so Awesome! Ty ☕️
Thank you so much for your video. I am just getting into bending spoons for jewelry. Can’t tell ya all the blood blisters I’ve gotten. I was trying to bend with a 6-step bail maker. 🤦♀️
Thank you ❤
Awesome tutorial!! Thank you for sharing this they are beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Great video! I love that you show your not-so-organized studio, I am a fellow not so organized person and I love it.
I am so nervous to put my silver plate in the tumbler! I have heard some say put it in no longer than 30 min and I have heard others say they tumble for 2 hours, what is your recommendation?
I LOVE my tumbler!! I don't think I've had any of my silverplate ruined from it, and I normally tumble 1.5 - 2 hours for the best shine. Good Luck!!
Beautiful hearts! Queen Bess is also a favorite of mine. What do,you use for the blackening? Thank you!
8:05 pm 9/10/23. I loved your video. Interestingly, I am just now in the process of purchasing the arbor press. Why I am writing, is to ask where you purchased your tumbler from. I didn't know there was such a thing. Also, when I looked at the finished product you made, the hearts that you blackened, it didn't look to me, as if there was any silver plate left on. I'm sure there is, or you would have mentioned it. Also what grade and brand is the sanding block you are using. I'm new to this, so I enjoy seeing how others make their items. Thank you for your video!
Thanks for this video! I followed along and made my first floating heart!! So happy. Could you please tell me what kind of engraver are you using ?
I'm so glad you had success! YAY. I don't know the brand of engraver. I actually got it at a garage sale a few years ago, it's definitely vintage. It is a hand engraver, a little smaller than a dremel. I'm sure you can find them online. Hope this helps.
What were the two wheels you have on your bench grinder? I inherited my Dad’s so want to change out his heavy duty abrasive wheel and his wire wheel for my jewelry making.
Thanks for this video!❤
Beautiful work hearts are one of my favorite shapes.
Very nice hearts great video! Where did you get the bending tool from and how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking ....Thank you!
nice tutorial! may I ask where you found the different sized metal pins for your press? thanks!
The pins all come with the bending kit, which is from flatwearable.net :)
Love this… thank you for sharing. What machine are you using to bend with and where can I purchase one?
I use the flatwearable bender. you can purchase at flatwearable.net
Hi! Thanks for the great tutorial! Can you tell me where you got your bolt cutter-like tool? Thanks!
Hi Sue, my husband got that for me, but I have seen some like it on Amazon. I will try and get a list together on my next jewelry video on where I got all my tools. I appreciate you watching.
What do you blacken them with?
If you don't mind telling me.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing. Where do you get your boxed from? Thanks in advance ☺
I get all my boxes on Amazon 😁. Thank you for watching.
Love your video’s. How did you get a longer handle on your bender press? How do you blacken the design?
You can blacken with a lot of different things, Liver of Sulfur, Jax, sharpies, whatever you prefer. I bought the longer handle at Lowes. I wish I could remember what it was originally made for...
@@FreckledHeart Thank you so much. I am going to get the Arbor press today at HarborFreight.. Can’t wait to start again.
Ohhh Harbor Freight? Really?
Where did you get the attachments and block for the arbor press to make the rings?
You can go to flatwearable.net for those. 😁
Can you tell me about your cutter used to cut the spoon when you begin? Thanks
Hi Marie, if you search for “bench mounted bolt cutter” you should find some. I LOVE mine!
Where can i purchase the press you are using and you are doing a great job
Sorry for the late reply. I got mine from flatwearable.net
Beautiful! What kind of press did you use?
I use an arbor press with a Flatwearable Bender attached.
Can you tell me where you got your bolt cutter? The hearts are beautiful.
My husband got it for me, but I believe you can find them online. Try searching Bench Bolt cutter
Your jewelry pieces are beautiful. What Tumbler do you recommend?
I have a Diamond Pacific Tumbler that I have been using for about 12 years. However, I have also heard good things about Lortone tumblers.
What bending machine are you using ? Pretty work
The Flatwearable Bender
Where can you buy a press like yours in the video??? Thanks again
The bender is from Flatwearable.net
These are pretty!!💖💕
What do you use to blacken the details?
You can use Liver of Sulfur, Black Jax, Paint pen.
@@FreckledHeart thanks much 😊
What are the names of those machines you use to cut and to shape?
Real nice. Did you make your cards
Yes, we do. Just buy 100 weight card stock!
Hi where did you get the vending machine?
My bender is from flatwearable.net
Do you have a tutorial on blacken?
I'm sorry, I don't at this time. But I'll keep it in mind.
May I ask what this pattern on the spoon is? My Mother had this set. I would love to find some. Love the video!!!
Hi Patricia, the pattern is Queen Bess II. It is my best seller in my Etsy shop. Thanks for watching!
@@FreckledHeart I’m watching it right now Looks like fun to make How many different tools do you have in your workshop?
@@FreckledHeart where would be the best suppliers for silver spoons +/or forks
@@pattyrdh1987 I find most of mine on either eBay or shopgoodwill
@@pattyrdh1987 LOL. I couldn't even begin to count...too many!
So beautiful is that silver plated? Or stainless. I will find you on Etsy.
Thank you! These are all silverplate.
Where can you buy the press used in this video? I don't have a business. I make things for family & friends Thanks for your help! :)
I got mine at Flatwearable.net. And it's okay if you have a business, there's enough room for everyone :)
She also has some tutorial videos on UA-cam, and a great FB Group.
Were do you buy the chains
I buy them on Amazon or ebay
Hey how long is the spoon handle after you cut it ?
I just cut the bowl off the teaspoon, so there is some variation. Normally between 3.5-4 inches.
@@FreckledHeart thanks .. I am so upset I’ve messed up several spoons trying this.
@@tonyapearce374 use some spoons you don’t care so much about to practice. Be patient with yourself. Just like anything, it takes a little practice. (You should see my first ones)🤣
Hi, what is the sander tool please
It’s a little grinder from Harbor Freight
Where did you buy your bender and how much?
It is a Flatwearable bender press. You can go to their website for models and prices: flatwearable.net
Please can you tell me the name of all your equipment?
I believe I mention in the video what everything is. If you need something in particular, just let me know.
What is the brand of your bolt cutter?
Hi Penny, I'm not at home right now, I will be back later in the week and I will try to remember to look for you.
@@FreckledHeart I would love to know the name of the brand if you can share. I see one similar on Amazon but yours seems to do a fabulous job. Great tutorial and thank you for sharing.
@@charleighann7366 I got out of bed to check just for you...because I knew I would forget if I waited for tomorrow, lol. And also because you share my granddaughter's name :) Unfortunately, mine doesn't have a brand anywhere that I can see. It looks like the initials eM, but other than that, nothing. I have to say that the bench cutter is the way to go, SO much easier than the hand held ones, I highly recommend one. I do see some on ebay also, maybe with better pricing than Amazon, so check those out also. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@FreckledHeart You are the absolute best! Thanks for getting up to check :-) Hopefully you live somewhere cozy. I'm in AZ & we are chilly LOL.. Chilly & AZ don't go together. I appreciate you checking. Your granddaughter has the BEST name and nope I'm not biased at all :-) You & my mom are the only ones who can see/say Charlie even though it's spelled Charleigh. Happy Holidays..
@@charleighann7366 I’m in AZ too!!
Where can I find large quantities of flatware because one and here isn’t ideal. Please don’t gatekeep
Hi Bianca. I don't have an answer to finding large quantities. I have heard of people getting big hauls at antique fairs, from pawn shops, from metal recycling centers, but I have never gone down that route. I get almost all of mine from either Goodwill or Ebay. There are some Facebook groups that sell flatware, I would look for some of those. Also I am a member of Flatwearable Silverware Jewelry Artists Colony on Facebook. There are a lot of silverware artists on there that are very helpful.
Do you sell them on Etsy?
Yes, my Etsy shop is freckledheart.com. So glad you like them!
Messy studio==more projects done & more art created shows your chest goes into what your doing rather than working on messiness in my opinion to me it shows a good artist lol 😊
You can’t see the engraving???
You can't? It is definitely small, not much room in there...
My bender sucks
What kind of bender do you have?
Bending
I use the bender from Flatwearable.net
Thank you so much am looking into this
Totally off camera. Can't see anything
What an annoying video. But great job. Begin to make some cuts, we dont need to se every piece
