#meltingsilver

Work in progress... -Ingot Making and forging a band- ✢ The melting point of pure .999 silver is around 960 °C (1760 °F). The flame alone from the alcohol bottle will never come close to this temperature. When combined with air from the blowpipe then it is achievable. Here 10 grams of 999 silver is melted to make an ingot which is then forged nto a band. #silversmithing #jewellersbench #meltingsilver #artisanjewelry #forgedjewelry #forging https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GiwaDHYNd/?igshid=119ufar3x5e7p
