The ring is very pretty. Even when improved by nature... Ima try water casting. That looked great.

Being a retired steel welder/mechanic, I still use my oxyacetylene torch, which can get up to 6000F, when I weld my 935 sterling creations. lol It requires great care, and a very small torch tip.

@@AmericanThunder Oxy-Acetylene is good and I love using it for melting (outdoors). The Little Smith Torch Tips work well and for my oxy-propane as well. What I’m really itching to get my hands on is a Hydro-Flux torch. I want to get rid of the gases entirely as I mostly work in the basement close to the Natural Gas furnace. Plus I do all my reloading in the jewelry studio, so gunpowder & natural gas are a bit too sporty for my liking with bottled fuels, no matter how careful I am.

I notice you have some ventilation there for your toxic substance fumes. I will have to hook something up to fuse with crazy glue!!! I saw another video where the person nestled the piece down into some sand as insulation and support. What do you think of that? Greetings from Dallas.

@ruthdederich3622 Hello Dallas! Thank you for commenting! I have a small pan of sand as well and use it on occasion. Anything that is able to offer insulation/support when working with Argentium is great. I find the sand is a bit too “fluid” for some things, meaning it doesn’t always stay put, you know “like sands through the hourglass…..”? I mostly use the ventilation if I’m using a charcoal block or working with copper. The crazy glue is vaporized very quickly and you’re only using minute amounts.

What gauge and round or half round?
