Making a ring from and antique souvenir spoon 

The best instructional video I’ve seen on spoon rings, thanks Midnight Jo 😊

Fantastic walk through! Love how you explained everything. You've got a super cool shop!

Beautiful!

Great video MidnightJo👍 I absolutelyLove the ring. I knew I could trust you to turn it into wearable art. Thank You 🙏

OMG!!! Beautiful work,, I love that ring..👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Your work is amazing, you inspire all coin and spoon ring makers ;-)

to anneal correctly is to cool the piece as slowly as possible. To rapidly cool it you've harden it.

God bless your hand sister And bless you too ❤️🌹 Am feom Egypt 🙏

Hey Jo... IM 57 and worked too hard at construction all my life...yesterday I found some old silver-plated rings at second hand store. I was hoping to have an antiques roadshow moment but no luck. I have been really getting into lapidary lately and have spent hundreds of Covid social distancing hours finding agate, jasper and anything that has something special. I bought a rock tumbler ...dremmel....tile saw all thinking it would be fun shaping them and maybe making jewelry of some sort ( I am thinking if I can't work anymore it would be a great hobby).I came across a site for making spoon rings and went down the rabbit hole called google and started thinking to make Christmas presents this year. after watching several tutorials into the wee hours last night I fell asleep, didn't shut down my computer so....when I woke up this morning your video was in the Queue ready to play. I don't know when and where epiphany defines our fates and inspiration explodes us into answers we never dreamed to ask.ourselves.but I do know having reason and purpose in life will provide the warmth of happiness and fulfillment that defines us. I felt inspiration so strong after this video that luck has laid out my destiny...( next comment down will explain my excitement)

Thanks, grazie da Italia

Thanks for rhe handy video! I just want to say though, when you quench the metal you arent softening it. Quenching hardens the metal. You have to cool it slowly for it to soften. Youll find the metal much easier to work with if you cool is slowly after heating

Looks great!!

Can you tell us about the polishing compound you use? I haven’t seen it in “chapstick” form before!

I want to come and play with your toys :0 Nice tutorial!!!!

....I hope to still have thirty good years in me (fingers crossed) to fill ,but since my injury depression has set in and an empty feeling has manifested itself in the pit of my stomach. as i am writing this warmth is washing over me unveiling inspiration and know ing it is all good. I donèt know if you have any advice you can share on#1: are there any courses I can take to become a jeweler... #2 what rudimentary equipment should I buy to learn on and #3....THANK YOU JO!!!!. I never thought a random 3 miute video that magically appeared on my screen would change my life. Thanks to your inspiration I just had a vision of myself wearing Loupe glasses huched over a wooden bench next to the fire in my wood cabin, and making the Finest peice I have ever made in the thirty years since I saw this video. If I could call on you for advice during this endevour it would be so appreciated...I'll keep in touch ...Im laughing right know at all the things i've learned and having them come together so perfectly. You may have changed my life because feeling like I do right now is wonderful. thank YOU.

this is so cool! Just wondering, If you wanted to keep the enamel as part of the ring design, how would you prevent it from breaking?

beautiful

Great video Midnight Jo. Very easy to follow. What brand of polish are you using on the spoon ring?

My name is Linda ortiz

How wonderful and really beautiful you are. I want you to activate the Arabic language for translation. Thank you

And all it took was a ton of equipment, which of course everyone has!

It's good that you wear PPE, but I hope you'll research polishing on a wheel while wearing those heavy gloves. It's quite dangerous, TBH.

Video was not helpful couldn't really see how you were using that bending tool and wasn't explained where you acquired the bending apparatus that you had to use I have that press but where did you get the rest of the stuff and the video should have been more focused on that The ring did come out nice
