I made a silver ring from scratch! My first piece of jewelry. I glazed the crucible, melted the silver, cast the ingot, hammered the ingot, rolled the ingot, annealed the strip, rolled the half-round wire, cut it to length for my size, soldered the joint, hammered it round on the mandrel, filed the excess, rough polished it, fine polished it, and revelled in the glory of it all. Ohohoho
