  • got any idea on how to take scrap silver and turn it into a nice strip of silver to make a ring without a roller?

  • @jsmtg314 carve a design out of charcoal,.. pour in the silver as an ingot,.. bend it around a ring mandrel to your size,.. and wahhh--lahhh you have a bent piece of silver witha design on it bent into a ring that will fit yer finner,.. be safe!

  • I'm on my new journey in making jewelry. I love you videos and really want to learn more. I need all my tools and want and need more places to shop for supplies. Can you share where you get your ivory and silver from. Thanks so very much for sharing you really educational videos. Your a great teacher.

  • @pbunnerful ivory is gotten wherever i can get it from,.. same with silver,.. sometimes you can great deals thru estate sales or yard sales,.. just always inquire about more stuff,.. like crafty things or ask about anything specific

  • I love your videos! What are you quenching in? do you have pickle in the quench? I'm new to all of this and your technique seems so much faster...

  • @amarytyler yes it is a pickle,.. doesnt take long to get the surface stuff off,.. only your last dip should hang out for a few minutes to bring out that brilliant white

see all
