Learning to weld
June 19, 2013, 01:55:11 PM
So today I had access to some cutting and welding gear.
To good an opportunity to miss. So I taught myself to weld and added the skill to my jewelry making

If you grind the welds down and do a silver or gold plate it would be a masterpiece  ;)

I thought about that but I very much like the hand made look of this one.
My second attempt is much more processional and the welds almost don't show.
I discussed gold Plating with my wife. Sh thinks its nice left silver but i might try plating the next one If I manage to sell the first two.
