I prefer to use Silver Plate since it is much cheaper and still has a great look. Look for teaspoons with pretty handles though any type of silverware will work, depending on the project. Avoid knives however. They are ususally difficult to cut or bend, and are often too large and heavy for jewelry anyway.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Vise (Optional but very helpful, especially if your hands are not very strong. I placed two small pieces of wood in the jaws to protect the silverware from scratching. Some vises come with plastic\/nylon jaws for this purpose.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hacksaw (Optional) This is just the regular old type of hacksaw you would get at the hardware store.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Metal File (Optional) You will only need a file if you are cutting the cutlery.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Strong Pliers (Optional) Not your good jewelry pliers. Just use the ones from the hardware store.
