How do you like working in Argentium silver? I myself really like it. I find the engraving holds up really great and I like the looks of it when polished. Jack:banana:
Mark, thanks for the advice. I bent it today with the GRS bender slow and easy and finished up the ends around 1" mac socket. I could see where the joints are a problem as the oval is very stiff and it extends past the weaker braclet ends. Slow and easy, with some finish up with a rubber hammer around the socket seemed to work well.
Jack, I have never engraved anything other than argentium sterling. Except for steel. I have never worked with normal silver except for some soldering. I found that soldering argentium blows chunks. I hate it for that. Easy stuff like a screw onto the back of a concho and that sort of thing is simple, but a rope border darn near sent me packing. Still haven't tried again. Lost my mojo.
Here is is all bent up. My normal camera went to Europe with my mother, so you will have to settle for lesser pics. Seth
