I made my first sterling silver ring!
Start
 |
| 2 hours work with a metal blade cutting crooked shapes. |
 |
| So unevenly cut and rough |
 |
a mere 5 hrs later - anealed and shaped & filed down
|
Finish
 |
| 2 days later - 2 semi polished silver rings, plus wrinkly hands. |
Do not underestimate soldering metals, the most fun you can have with a tank of gas and a gun.
