I need to buy a 'Rolling Mill', any suggestions ? by
FC...
Need to get a new Rolling Mill. I don't really want to spend any more
than about $700.00 as my use for it will be VERY basic (texturing
metal, flattening out small ingots). I know nothing about 'rolling
mills' so any suggestions or information would be very welcome.
Thanks,
/FC....

The difference between Tibetan silver vs. Sterling silver ? by
bk51atwork
Hi!
I was hoping someone could tell me the difference (if there is one)
between sterling silver & Tibetan silver.
Also,is there a difference in the purity, quality rating and is it
identifiable by a hallmark?
I'm interested in how it effects the quality & value of jewelry.

Kendall Davies
I'm thinking of buying a rolling mill. I want to use the mill to produce
texture and pattern on sheet and strip silver (and other metals). I'd also
want to use it to taper wire or at least begin/speed up the process of hand
forging.

How to melt a penny by
Muso
This proceedure will work for all U.S. pennies which were minted after
1982, and also for those 1982 pennies which will show zinc when scored
on their edge with a single light stroke of a flat, fine-toothed file.
First, score the penny on the top, and, if it shows zinc, on the
bottom. Next, hold...

reasonably workable substitutes like what was known as 'German silver'

Victorinox watch band link removal? by
larry g. olsen
Do any of you readers know how to remove the links in the stainless steel
bands on these watches? It appears to be easy but the pins that you can see
through the holes in the links do not want to compress. There are
directional arrows on the side of the links that would be against the
wearers arm....
