About me – Shaping Silver

Well, I’m a hobby gold- and silversmith with a passion for men’s jewellery, it’s history and all the wonderful mechanisms that has been developed for it.
I collecting the information in, what is to become a book, but I think build information can be somewhat cumbersome to put on paper, so I have in stead made YouTube videos on the subject.

The journals

In preparation for making my book, I have made a practice run with “The Metalsmith’s Journal”, which not only made me familiar with desktop publishing and Amazon’s KDP, but the journals also helps pay for (a little part) of my silver addiction.

The books are available in Danish, English and Swedish.

So, if you need a journal for collecting your designs and smithing experience, perhaps the journals are for you.

Colaboration on YouTube

I am open to working with people that have similar interests. Not only YouTubers but also craftspeople, like goldsmiths, silversmiths, toolmakers, stonecutters etc. So, if that is you, send me an e-mail.

FAQs

When will the book be out?

I don’t know. My real job takes too much of my free time at the moment.

Where can I buy your things?

My journals you can get from Amazon all over the world.

The things I display here and make on YouTube are not for sale, and I don’t take request, unless it is part of a cooperation.

How can I get in touch with you?

Write me an e-mail at: Oliver@shaping-silver.net

Can I contribute to your work?

Yes. If you know of men’s jewelry not described on this page. Things like class rings, pocket watch chain fobs, special button mechanisms, and of course the story of their use.
