Shaping Silver
Welcome to my YouTube channel.
It is about goldsmithing, silversmithing, enamelling, stone and amber cutting, men’s jewellery and cookies... okay, maybe not so much cookies. Anyway, I have been doing this as a hobby for more than 20 years and make many tools and most of my wire, sheet, and findings myself.
Most of my videos are project-based, but with excursions into why men’s jewellery looks the way it does, from my never-ending book project on men’s jewellery. And let’s not forget chains.
Most of the time it is just me, but I like working with others and going on field trips.
