Here is a video in real time showing a tip for creating a melted ball from @hammeredheartjewelryco

“Creating perfectly round balls (that don’t have a flat bottom).

I used a larger circular burr to carve the size ball I needed into my hard charcoal block. Then the scrap silver sits on top and melts into the shape I’ve carved.

This comes in handy for melting scrap I am going to be using in my shot plate… like for the pyramids on this Art Deco pendant!! “ Beautiful work and thank you for sharing with us! We appreciate it! #meltingsilver #charcoalblock #torch
