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.)
If you don't have a dedicated yolk separator, separating eggs always runs the risk of a cracked yolk seeping into your egg whites. But if you use three bowls throughout the process, you'll never need to worry.Emma Christensen at The Kitchn, like many of us, used to use two bowls, cracking the egg into one, and scooping the yolk into another. A better solution is to pour the whites from each egg into a third bowl, and keep cracking eggs into the newly emptied one. That way, if a yolk cracks, it will only ruin one egg, instead of all the eggs you cracked before it. It does create a little more to clean up, but that's a small price to pay for perfect egg whites.This is the kind of tip that's obvious in hindsight, but worth keeping in the back of your mind whenever you need to separate eggs for a recipe.Why You Should Use 3 Bowls When Separating Eggs | The Kitchn
