Salaam (May God Bless You). The iron and aluminium are two of the most important metals used today. Iron is produced in factories inside a blast furnace. The furnace has various pipes leading to it which are called tuyeres, these emit hot air in to raise the temperature. The hot air goes out through the pipes on the top of the furnace leading out. The upper hole of the furnace is where the…

I then followed it up with soldering around the edges of the green tiles and adding some jump rings. The Sun pendant just had a bail attached behind it.

And the longer pendant, containing text used glass sample slides, a page from a dictionary and some solder.

Brief, I know, but I will make a more detailed post about these in the next few days.
