Making “acorns” or little silver spheres.
I made some spheres this morning, melting small lengths of silver wire into a hole in a piece of charcoal. In a bit of a daze after a good meal and wine last night I held the torch on the sphere for longer than I usually do. I was delighted that once I used the sphere on a piece I was making and polished it , there appeared to be a ring of copper around the base. I assume that in heating it as long as I did, the copper in the silver separated out....yes? It looks great reflected in the polished surface around it. Just hope I can do this to order.

Used purely for weighing bits of silver, I assure you!
Mine is very unsophisticated and simple, but so far so good.
