turning scrap gold into pretty stuff

[phil]

Here is the last 2 days work. I had some scrap gold lying around so I melted it up and made some earrings and a pendant. Everything is entirely hand made from scrap metal. I hope you like the sequential pictures. I am sorry I have put no text explanations inbetween the pictures but I have been trying for 45mins and cannot figure out how to do it. This will probably be my last post this side of Christmas so I would like to wish everyone the very best of health, wealth and happiness.
A Very merry Christmas to you all. May God bless you.

great foto tutorial. easily understood evolution from "trash to treasure". lovely engraving, and some really unique pieces you have created. btw when i mentioned the use of the "wall wart" that was for very thin plating. not sure about anything that gets handled a lot.
thanks so much for taking the time to prepare this foto tutorial.

Thanks all for looking and commenting.
Monk. Your advice worked a treat. I plated these using an old charger with an output of 5volts and 500mA/h. As soon as I have repaired the rectifier on my plater I will give these a much heavier deposition.
