I was given an odd lot of forks and spoons after my first husband’s parents died. They have been sitting in a drawer for a very long time. Recently I brought them out and contemplated turning them into jewelry, specifically a ring for my right hand and a bracelet (that’s another Instructable). This silverware has silver in it, but it isn’t sterling silver, because real sterling silver is soft enough that a ring could be made with hands alone. No such luck with this stuff. It is much harder than that. So this Instructable is about how I took the handle off a fork and turned that handle into a right hand ring. Here we go.
Supplies:Vice
Hack saw
Silver fork (or spoon)
Tooth paste (not gel)
Old rags
Grinder with polishing wheel
Iron or brass pipe (diameter of the size ring you want)
Scrap wood
Hammer
Brass rod or iron pipe
Scissors and scrap paper
Marker
(Ignore the heat gun it was useless on this project.)
