Repurposed Silverware and Barnwood into I dunno key hooks/utility hooks…...not much to say here, took some old pieces of barnwood out of the scrap pile and some old mismatched silverware, I hammered the spoons flat on an anvil, and lightly heated up the real “silver” ware in a vise. and then bent the prongs using an assortment of pliers. With the forks I was trying to come up with a budding flower type scene… Oh well it came out close, this was my first time trying this so perhaps my next one will be better…I did wreck a few pieces of silverware practicing :) hehe

What a unique use for old silverware!

I really like this! Did you heat up the silverware to get it to bend so accurately? Cool stuff man!

Thanx guys….dusty I just have some CA or epoxy on the back and that would be fine for light things like keys, I do not want to drill any holes or have screws or anything visible, any ideas? I do not know much about metals, anyone know if it is possible to braze a coarse screw shank on the back to silver? Thanx

I don’t know about that but you could get Uri Geller to do your bending for you. You could probably mig weld it.

Very slick and creative. How about bending the spoon or fork end through a slot or hole in the wood and wrap it around to the backside where you could tack it down on the back. That might create some strength. I am just thinking off the cuff.

Those are great. I wish you could make some matching hinges with those designs.

Thats were my aunt Mable’s silver ware went! LOL These are really cool. How about epoxying some nuts on the back and screwing through the back. Or you can silver solder the screws to the forks.
