Hey thanks all, I appreciate it. I spent my day in the shop, well 6 hours anyway. Got another pen done.
Tomorrow a new batch of sterling silver arrives. Not too much luck with the first go-round of Sterling/Nickel Silver mokume, so another 10 ounces should get here tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it to fuse beter than the last batch.
On the last one I saw the ends starting to go beyond the point of no return so I paniced and pulled the stack. Needless to say, the center was not fused yet.

Why is silver so expensive?
That should keep me busy tomorrow, then saturday I have a job interview in the morning. And then I get to go pick up my kid in the afternoon. So it looks like a pretty un-party like weekend for me.
Oh well, I more than made up for it last weekend. Jack brought his friend Jose and that is the last I remember.
Thanks again guys and hopefully tomorrow I will be able to post some pics of the sterling silver mokume.
