I came here because I was curious about some Tom Wait's lyrics. "He gave her a dime store watch, and a ring made from a spoon". Well, it exists, and it's awesome!! Props to ya, dude!!

Don't pay attention to the negative comments. We are not perfect, and at least you took your time to make this beautiful ring, and we always learn something new. That's the way we learn in life with trials and errors. Keep your good work young guy👍👍.

Thanks, Steven! I've been making bracelets by bending them with pliers...way too much work. Thanks for showing me the tools and tutorial I needed! I cut the ends off with bolt cutters, makes a smooth cut for me. You're great

I've been trying to learn how to do this thanks for easy instructions do u sell the rings

What a great watch, made me want to go into the kitchen and look for some spoons but going to have to go out tomorrow and buy some from a charity shop and have a go myself thank you your very talented x

I wouldn't exactly call this "diy" for most folks… but still quite interesting!

I love it, I have a ring but I did not know how they were doing, I have seen some, Earrings, Rings, Bracelets, and more. I will try to learn how to do it, I do not work. and I think will be fun to learn something and take my time doing a craft. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks i just found a silver spoon and im gonna try making a ring. Awesome

love your DIY ring I am inspired to find my silver spoon and give it a try

so cool....go out to the garage or workroom and make jewelry. very nice young man!! i appreciate you sharing your knowledge. right on

If you anneal the fork it will be easier to bend. I really like your method. Thanks for your knowledge.🤘🤠🤘

Smart and funny! I'm not sure we would put it to our shop, but I would be happy to own one! Great stuff!

I find that a grinder cuts it a lot smoother than sawing it. As for the bending, depending on whether it's cheap or a sterling silver, you should always bend it by hand (with a tight pull) to round it up. Hacking it with a piece of metal into a spiral shape will make it look bumpy.

I had a bracelet once made out of two silver spoons, the ends of which met together at the top front of the bracelet, the end nearest the spoon part formed the back of the bracelet and was joined together with jump rings and a clasp I believe. I don't know what or who happened to that bracelet. All I know is I really liked it a lot. The ring you made reminded me of it. Nice work.

Nylon cuttingboard cut into strips as large vise jaws. Countersunk screw to hold work pieces without maring finished pieces.

The end result is so awesome!

Thanks for the video. There is such a thing as a "bull pin" that was mentioned later in the video. Earlier in the video he did also call it a mandrel. Either a mandrel or bull pin could be used here.

Lol, assuming I'm an independent woman who's more mechanically inclined than most men, why not explain why mandrel improper and bull pin better? Not picking on you, just you tube is to help people learn how to do something! Be it a spoon ring, or highly mechanical/electrical ways to accomplish task the simplest way? Kid does it this way, everybody has their own way. Proper way? Lol. That would be fun to read why comments made. No worries. Your just last I'm reading! I'll check if you have how to make a spoon ring. Ever go in any home improvement store (minus ACE), BEING a female and ask a question, knowing they are just hourly non mechanical employees. The attitude is either you don't know what your talking about (means they don't know), or "I've never seen or heard of a "whatever your asking for"? Lol. Less most ACE HARDWARE, I've never left without getting what I want, even if my terminology or description isn't perfect. I just say what it does and why I need it, amazing how they eventually figure out what this spunky lady wants. Most planes say no and walk off. Just perspective from a Daddys girl who has grown up. Owned trucking Co, oil /has back in the day. Taught me to never allow ANYONE to made me feel inferior. Lol, given women weren't allowed to sign commercial loan until 1988 without a man's signature, Guess progress is taking time!

This is a vey creative way to look into things around us and make a nice piece of jewellery. Thank you for sharing it with us and the video is very good the only thing I wished at the end when the ring is finished, if you showed it worn in some one's finger, so it could show the end product how it looks like when it's worn.

Theres a reason i dont usually read comments, however sometimes i look for input to see what others say on how easy or difficult, or whatever reason. But the guys comment below makes me ill, and im reminded of how some sick comment will help me to stop reading and sharing... i pray for him... and for the protection of all babies. Thank you for the tutorial though

Vasko Chicagos comment is the best part of this entire video😂😂😂😂

Aneal and quench often to keep the silver mailable throughout the shaping process. The more you work the metal the harder and more brittle it gets.

Watch Robert Nurden and his video "How to make a very easy ring". He has some short cuts and home made forms that helped me a lot.

cool good luck selling them i hope you make a lot of money and thank you for sharing also great instructions very well done

I always wondered how those were made :) thank you for sharing good job!!!

drill the size hole you want in a 2 by 4 cut it in half lay your spoon on top of that lay another round object on top the spoon and hit with hammer as the spoon goes down it will make half a circle then just rotate until you get it round

really safe shop practices you have there

First thing that should be done when making a spoon ring is torch it with a torch to a dull red. Then it will easily bend around your mandrel. It will be work hardened when done because of the bending. It's much easier this way and you dont risk the chance of cracking your metal.

i hate watching people using tools when they haven't got a clue screw a couple of blocks to your bench to act as stops on your mandril. lock your mandril in the vice not the ring and tap the ring round the form ;)

Surprised that you didn't anneal the silver first. Annealing would make this work so much easier

Great

Annealing the sliver first would be a much more effective way of forming the ring.

Well done!

Absolutely beautiful 😍💕💕💕💕💕💖 thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing...awesome & unique

Cool

I would suggest to list the tools upfront-in an overview, I was hoping I could make one but since I don't have access to most of the tools- the instruction couldn't help me. If you can light it a bit more too so we can see better.. but good stuff... wish I could do it...

Music A Bit Loud, Loved the style of the ring, You make it Look so easy, i must try it. thanks for sharing.

Cool. Thanx!

Very cool!!

Ok so i have roughly the same spoon shape as that guy and i just cant seem to get the wider end to bend it just wont budge any tips?

Nice ring! It would have been helpful if you annealed it first, keep up the good work :-)

thank you! that was a great tutorial!

so cool!!!

If you heated it up till red, would it be a lot easier to bend bend & shape ?

@meganmcgowan5798

+Ryan Fager You do not want to do that, because you risk discoloring the metal. Just heat it enough to make it bend "a little easier". Be gentle on the heat, especially with silver.

@221b-Maker-Street

Heat until black, not red. And then quench. But only with _sterling silver_ cutlery, not EPNS, as heating that will remove all your silver plating.

ANEAL THE SILVER SPOON AND IT WILL BE EASIER TO BEND

friend what is the name of this long tool that you use to wind the handle of the fork ... ??? please! thankful

Nice! Does this work with forks as well?

...maybe anneal the silver before trying to bend it? would make it easier, just thought i would mention.

You’ll really feel it, trying to fashion stainless steel into a ring without a jeweller’s ring shank bender to help you. Sterling silver bends like butter by comparison. 🥄

You seem to be making life hard for yourself, wouldn't it be easier to manipulate it around the mandrel with a pliers or alternatively use a wrap n tap and a pliers?

if you want to cut the spoon head out just bend it and it will break

Hello, could you tell me what you said the tape is that you used in the vice? "Gaffe tape" ?!?! Thanks!

_Gaffer_ tape. Gaffer is film slang for studio electrician. They use that particular high-tensile tape for securing cables safely to the floor all over film and TV sets. I’m not sure why everyone’s saying it’s expensive. Considering how strong it is, I think it’s fairly priced. And I’m in a country where everything is twice the price it is in the USA. 🥴

Hi I'd love to buy one off you

Anneal that bad boy and it will bend much, much easier look up "Annealing Metal - Beaducation.com" on youtube and you'll get a looong education on how to do it right...the time you invest in watching that will make everthing else you do better and easier :)

Does it have to be silver? Or can it be stainless steel?

Painful to watch.

Never take any advice from KZread. Look at this guy. Like using his grandpas tools and a ring sizer he purchased on Ebay. That is not how you make a ring I am 100% sure. I think you need to start off with having tools and machines for processing metals first. Then you might need some materials like plaster and wax. You can cut a copper pipe and have a ring in no time. LOL That will impress the ladies. @@ This is when you take too many drugs or have lost sight of any standards. Easy to do wrong and hard to do it right. I wish you well young buck. May my words carry some meaning down the road. Take a step back and be critical on yourself. Will it cut it? Hell no. Do it again, And again. Till you do it right. Lessons you should have learned in school will now be relearned IRL and you will carry that pride. One day son. You get a B for effort.
