Very nice job Marg! Looks like tedious work to me. It appears that your daughter buying you the silver might have you hooked on something new. dave

No wonder it's sold, it looks great !! Nice job, Marge. You seem to be liking the jewelry cutting these days. That's what's important, having fun and enjoying what you do.

Great work Marg! Can you tell us how you cut the silver? Do you sandwich it between plywood or just cut it by itself?

Do you have to sand and polish it?

[Denny Knappen]

Very intricate cutting.  It would make a great charm also. 

[LarryEA]

Beautiful necklace! and I'd like to also know a bit more info on how you did it.

Good looking piece can see why it sold.

That is amazing Marg! You have turned that small piece of silver into a treasure. Do you do much sanding on the edges? It looks so finished, more than a scroll saw can do.

The piece of Silver that my daughter brought for me is 4 1/2 inches x 2 inches. I have some paper stuck to the underside with Sticky Roll paper that you can get from The Scroller Ltd.  ( Sorry I Have forgotten the proper name of it )  I find what I would like to cut and attach in the same way on the top.  Because I have enough silver to hold onto I don't need a jig.  I use 2/0 jewelry blades to cut and turn the speed down low.  When its cut I sand the piece with some very fine sanding pads that i got from  www.alphaabrasives.com   3000 being the finest., when the sanding is complete I wipe the silver over with some rubbing alcohol, this takes away any sticky residue that may be left.  My daughter's got a soft mallet made from plastic I think, and I hit the item I have cut a few times both sides and this hardens the silver without marking it.  With the hand held Dremel I polish the silver with a wire brush and then rub some auto polish for mag wheels and aluminum on and buff it off with a buffer in the Dremel. At this stage it will go black but that's OK just keep buffing it will soon shine up. Then wipe over with a baby wipe and dry off.  Finished.  Hope this helps in some small way.
