This is my first attempt. Its kind of basic but I'm just happy it didn't melt. Its german silver with a Arizona Jasper set in it.

Nice, I just started metalsmithing classes last week with a local jeweler, hope I can make something decent too. I'm not familiar with German Silver, is that just silver mined in Germany or is there something unique about its alloy or something?

John, the nice thing is you have a pocket full of this material. You might recognize it as a nickel. In fact the nickels in our pocket change contain approximately 7 cents worth of "nickel silver".

Ramona told me it works pretty similar to silver though so its good to learn on. Mistakes cost less.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
