Making a Platinum Wedding Ring from Scratch Using Waste Platinum

This was a first time for me, making a platinum ring from scratch using bits of scrap platinum. I've made loads of rings before, but from already formed metal, which is basically just bending and soldering. Melting and casting platinum was very different to other metals, I needed to wear welding glasses when heating it as it was blindingly white hot!
But I got there in the end, about a 6 hour process in total.

At some point I’m planning on making a pretty thick platinum ring with a gold band down the middle all the way around it, idk when but I’m slowly starting to gather the stuff for the project

The ring turned out great! So glad to see videos of people working with platinum. I love platinum, but boy is it a pain in the bottom to work with when it comes to melting, fusing, and/or soldering. I do a lot of mixed metals when i work with platinum and will usually do a gold and platinum combo. I dont have a torch hot enough to melt the platinum so i will just add gold like a makume gane type of mix and fuse the gold parts which ends up fusing it all together. If that makes any sense? Haha. May i ask what solder you used? Sorry if you already mentioned it, i tried going back thru the video but dont see anywhere. Anyways, you've got a new subscriber here:) i hope to see many more videos of yours:)

What is the solder composition for platinum. How much percentage of silver should add for 1gm platinum

Very nice video! Did you use platinum weld to solder the band closed?

What type of torch did you use? I’m planning on buying a decent torch but want to choose one that will get hot enough to work on platinum. Any recommendations? Thanks

What did you use to solder (I am in the process of learning to craft my amors engagement ring!)

When you heat metal until you get red and then cool it down quickly, You make the metal harder...Now if you want to soften, it's gotta warm-up and let cool

I want to buy catalytic convert how much per kg give me price who has?

Make an HHO gas generator and use oxyhydrogen, I hear it burns hot.

Beautiful work ❣️

did you buy special high temp melting dish? or did you use the same one you use for gold?

You needed to heat up the form... that will keep it from splattering
