Re: Christmas Cards

Sorry, was convinced you were!
I do make them myself, Mrs Beagle is not quite so handy with the blowlamp.

Ahhh so you make them with a Blowlamp ? is that the only tool ?

and what is Ed on about do you "anneal" before shaping ? does anneal mean you get the metal red hot ?

I am very interested

Re: Christmas Cards

The blowlamp is used to anneal (basically heat up and cool down again to make it slightly softer and less likely to crack) the silver. When it has cooled you can form it with other tools. Then you anneal again and so on until you have the shape you want. Just pickle it and start the polishing!
