I can't melt 1oz of Sterling

Hello, I joined the forum because I cannot bring 1 ounce of sterling silver scrap to a flow point so that I can pour a 1 ounce ingot of silver.

Items used.
1. 32 g of acid tested sterling. The silver was cut into small pieces.


Temporary Possible Loss of Entries

OT: Sandbox YAK

The ArtMetal server has been moved to a VPS account. Due to the move from one server to the other, we may see loss of entries, whether blog posts or comments, not appearing on the new site. This should only occur over the next 2-3 days. So if your posts are really important, please wait to next week to make them. I will add to this thread once the transfer is complete. Although, this thread may not appear on the new server so it may actually disappear.


Its that time again

Since last post: built new studio with included apartment; built new house and moved in (still working on interior finishing) and have recently returned to studio to experiment with new tools and methods.


Is ArtMetal going down?

OT: Sandbox YAK

Is ArtMetal going down? I sure hope not! But we are having some problems. Seems that our current isp is threatening to disconnect ArtMetal for too much usage of the CPU. I received a disconnect email a couple of hours ago stating ArtMetal had been disconnected. Some of you may have experienced this. Luckily, I kept my calm and asked nicely why such an abrupt disconnect when I was trying to correct the problem. Maybe they decided to temporarily turn us on again.

In response to my post from 2008 LOL, I have owned the copy form of Professional Goldsmithing, sold it, and recently purchased the new version which is beautiful.


Any Problems with Posting/Comments or Loging in?

OT: Sandbox YAK

I have been making some changes to the ArtMetal web site interface and would like to know if any of the subscribed members are having any difficulties with posting or adding comments or logging into the site. I've had one user indicating he is having troubles with responding to comments and getting strange subscription notices.


Tis a small thing, but.....

Church HandrailChurch Handrail

Installed a little handrail leading to the pulpit in our village church last week. Not much to it, but I kinda like it. Not least because, although I bitch every time I have to paint something a colour other than black, its actually a very pleasant change. This is actually my faux rust finish..not as shiny as the flash would have you believe!
