Heat the metal and when it’s cherry red twist it. That will prevent breaks. Do not quench that will make break offs easier to occur. Also working the metal does not make it harder but quenching it would though which also makes it more brittle and easier to break. Good job and nice work. Carry on
Howzit Shamwari.... if you heat up the metal to cherry red then quench in water immediately you shouldn't get break offs. Letting it cool down slowly doesn't have quite the same effect on the metal structure. Are you ex Zim or SA?
@@EmileTheart maybe you are very strong, or the Dutch silver plated cutlery is much harder. It s almost impossible to bend, even after heating. I have to heat it multiple times to bend small bits, with the risk of melting off the silver layer…
@@claraandriessen8423 most of the cutlery I use have very little plating left. Bit I kinda like the old look. It is still hard work as the metal does not soften a lot. The base metal also work hardens so need to be anealed a couple of times throughout the shaping process.
Kinda deceptive because this guy doesn't tell you that you must heat the fork to bend the teeth ,you must have the teeth red hot to bend them ,notice how he jumps past the heating process, yall ,put a thumbs down ,he is being deceptive.
When working with SS cutlery it needs to be red hot but with this old cutlery I found that heating makes the metal super brittle. So I much prefer cold bending. It takes a bit longer but I have no breakages. This process works for me, so not being deceptive.

Thanks so much. You've got my sub as well.
Love this. Thankyou
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Going to try, thank you...and thank you for advice in comments😀
Very interesting video. Why would hitting the tines make them harden up after a heat?
It is called work hardening. Then you have to re anneal before continuing.
Great video!
Great job !

Thanks

Hi Mark. I will definately try that. I am an SA boy born and bred.
Thank you for that tip
What type of flatware stainless or silver plate etc. do you prefer?
I've never actually worked with stainless steel cutlery. I go to secondhand shops and pick up whatever is available.
@@EmileTheart So silver plated cutlery works to do this?
@@claraandriessen8423 all these are silver plated and works just fine.

What type of drill bit was used?
I used a standard steel bit
Nice South African accent.
Need to keep your work in front of the camera
