Worm Holes by
Jack Schmidling
I don't care what Steven Hawking says, worm holes exist and right in my
latest ring.
I think I have learned the hard way what Peter warned me about in private so
I thought it would be useful to share my experience with the beginners that
may be lurking here.
I am making a ring for my wife and...

Fine silver surface by
[email protected]
I am going to be casting sterling silver rings for enameling. In doing
the homework for this I have found a source from one book that says the
surface of the model exits the cast with a layer of fine silver without
copper. If this is true, it would eliminate the need of further
preparation of the...

Q: Casting Palladium ? by
Christopher Robert Carlson
Hello,
I have a couple who would like to consider cast palladium wedding rings
instead
of cast platinum. They are primarily attracted to the unusualness of the metal
and I
am sure the lower price and density are a nice bonus.
I have not worked with palladium before, and I have a few questions...

Chain making and hammers. by
Ted Frater
Ah....... Peter
Your monologue in your last post on using hammers says a lot more than
the words.
I suspect you really enjoy using the hammers you have perhaps more
than the other work you do.
I certainly use the hammer more than any other tool despite having
just about every other metal working...

Movado Tension rings by
[email protected]
Hi,
I was wondering about what people's opinion is with Movado tension
rings. My concerns are as followed:
1. How well are they constructed, since metal alloys have a large
effect on duability on a tension set ring. Am I for example better off
buying a ring from Steven Kretchmer designs?
2. How...
