This tutorial shows how to cast ingots from scrap silver, forge them, roll them out through your rolling mill, and finally pull them through a drawplate to create usable silver wire. For this, you need a crucible, a torch that produces quite a bit of heat (probably an acetylene torch), an ingot mold, protective and safety equipment, and a well ventilated area. You also will need a rolling mill, draw tongs and a drawplate. Make sure you have considered all of the safety issues surrounding working with molten metal before you attempt this.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!
