From Casting Grain to Silver Sheets | Step-by-Step Metalworking Tutorial

Welcome to my channel. In this video, I’ll walk you through the process of turning sterling silver casting grain into an ingot, then using my rolling mill to roll it into an 18 gauge sheet. This sheet will be used to create beautiful handmade jewelry in my upcoming videos.

I’ll show you each step, from melting the silver to pouring it into an ingot mold, and finally rolling it out to the perfect thickness for intricate designs. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced jeweler, you'll find some helpful tips and tricks for your own metal-smithing process.

Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more tutorials on metalworking and jewelry creation! Stay tuned for future videos where I'll turn this sheet into a custom piece of jewelry!
