Looks good. I tried it once and once only. Decided it wasn't in my skill set. LOL Vic

Wonder how it would look not you put stone in the circle of the Ankh ? I thought about it. Maybe next time. Inlay some lapis or turquoise.

Thank you guys! And galsđŸ˜€ I will admit my 1st works were mediocre I've actually started tearing some apart and redoing them Not an easy task I'm loving what I'm doing now and have more in the works Bracelets up next Your first works were far from inferior. I am inspired by your creations, but I am cheap. I have rounded up most of the stuff to make my hillbilly electroplater. I will be making my own solution. We will see if it works. LOL Vic

My local shop takes 1/3 of my rough. I think that is a great deal and will usually throw in an extra piece or two of something I know he can make money on. Vic

I don't think they are hard enough. If they have been out in the weather they are softer still. It is really cool to stain the cracks then epoxy. If you want new shiny tips it is deer season now ask around. Vic

I love my Smith SilverSmith torch. It is Acetylene and air, so you only need one tank. Still not very portable as I wouldn't want to be packing an Acetylene tank around with me. Vic

Very nice! That cab turned out great! I don't like to do small or round, either. How have you gotten away without doing any sawing? When I was smithing, I sawed a lot. I am lazy and I just cut everything with metal snips and sand it to shape.

I used a jewelry saw for the first time in 25 years. Had to make a hillbilly bench pin. Really happy with how the ring turned out. I hate cutting small cabs and round cabs.
