Sterling silver working

:eek:

I logged in this morning to check my thread on wormy wood and saw this. Surprise! It is a good thing I can type because I am nearly speechless. Guys, if you had seen how bad this thing was at first you might begin to understand how stunned I am at how nice this looks now.

There isn't much else I can say but I can give Stacy a big thumbs up and thank you!
 
Yes, I am sending the spoon back to Clayton. I told him the charges. I don't think I'll have any trouble with his responsibility, but he will have to sell his wife on her part of the bill.
I'll leave it up to him to explain.

Sorry Stacy, we aren't having any more kids, so I can't name my next born after ya! :D
 
Stacy you're not only obviously a good person but talented as well. This was a refreshing post!!
 
I am so glad I have found this site. This thread shows that the internet can be a great people thing. Excellent work Stacy and excellent decision by Clayton to accept his limit of expertise on this and go with a pro.

Just remember, do NOT hot forge it! Silver is hot short, meaning it will crumble on you if you hammer on it while it's hot.

You can hot forge fine silver up to a dull orange heat, and sterling up to a dull red. However, for thin or small parts it is probably best to anneal and cold forge.

I've done it lots of times.
