[nikogoersd]

This video got me into casting ... now im starting a jewlery buisness just because i stumbled on this video :) thx !

[MrsRichardGrayson]

Thank you for showing us your work! I'm really into DIY jewelry, but I was to scared to even think about melting silver. I learn A LOT today and I would love to see more!

I've studied jewelry and light metals processes at RISD... When filing put a small bowl or cardboard box beneath your cast object to collect falling silver dust. This is valuable to conserve. NEVER use a motorized rotary disc to grind it as it will waste much silver. Just be patient and file your object. Silver is soft. It shouldn't be that difficult to do by hand.

Thank you for the tutorial! I appreciate the care you put in, most people leave their B holes sloppy and rigid.

[MadaMbrrr]

Them the nicest “B” holes I’ve seen in a while! 🤤 Thanks for sharing Zibartas!

Thanks so much for sharing this- I haven't tried melting any silver yet but I am saving all my silver wire odds and ends with a view to trying something like this soon.

I like the imperfect way you show us how to do also.

[CandSMINING]

I have done many melts of many different metals. Silver seems to be the one that gives me the most grief. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the community. 😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
