@@JustJani you’ll hear from me. I make and sell other things and these necklaces would be a nice addition. I’m afraid of soldering

@JustJani Жыл бұрын

The best thing you can do is take a soldering class. If there aren’t any near you then you can watch a lot of videos and practice. You have to find what works best for you. Good luck!

@@JaneThomas58 There are a couple that might be helpful because they are specific to silverplated silverware. Both of the creators below have several video besides the ones I've put links to.

What would these sell for? I have the bender and gazillions of flatware. Your videos are well presented. Thank you.

@JustJani Жыл бұрын

Hi Jane, Thank you, these are really fun to make! The large floating hearts with the arrow I sell for $35. The small ones I sell for $30. I hope you have fun making them, too!

Hi Jani, Could you tell me what kind of tumbler you use for polishing your jewelry. I purchased a double Barrell tumbler from Harbor Freight and returned it. Even after pretreating it per directions, my jewelry came out black. Each piece needed to be cleaned and polished. Was a real mess!! Appreciate any suggestions!! Your videos are very informative. Thank you much!!! Bettyann

Hi, My tumbler is an Extreme brand that I got for tumbling spent brass before I started making flatware jewelry. You don't have to have one as tough as this one. You'll also need the right media. Here is a link to my tumbler and media. stainlesstumblingmedia.com/extreme-tumblers-rebel-17.html stainlesstumblingmedia.com/stainless-tumbling-media.html There is also a polishing compound that you can put in your tumbler. I've never used it but it sounds like it's really nice. www.riogrande.com/product/920PowderCompound/339013 Hope this helps! 😀

Where can you buy plastic mold and pins separately Harbor frieght doesn't have

@JustJani 4 ай бұрын

Hi, The plastic tray, rollers, and pins are part of a kit called a Bender Press. There are several different kits you can get, they also have used ones. You buy an arbor press at Harbor Freight and put the kit on it. Also, join flatware/silverware bending Facebook groups. There is a lot of good info., and some ppl selling their used bender presses.

do you anneal before bending? or just go ahead and put them in the press?

@JustJani Жыл бұрын

Hi, Most of the silver plate is soft enough that you don’t need to anneal. If you start one that is just too hard to work with you can still go back and anneal it.
