The πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Fellaship of the Ring is nearly upon us. This first ring is a thank you and is being gifted onwards. ❀️ @kezza.bsky.social See the thread below to see how it was made.

Fellas, I wanted to say a huge thank you to @n1chn4-v1dm4.fellas.social for this donation of silver. The thought behind this one makes it very special. ❀️

The silver Tryzub below has been paid for. The money has already been donated towards life saving medical equipment. ❀️

Update: I've finished an antique silver Tryzub pendant (request from Sue). I've ordered a super powerful vacuum pump from eBay and I've now got some silver solder paste that contains silver, you just put it on and melt it to join silver.

I've been sent some little silver spoons from @kezza.bsky.social I'm going to have a go at turning these into rings. What is your ring size? I want to join the ends before I do any shaping. The first one is yours, and can be used as an example to sell the others. 🫢

I managed to cast 11 silver pieces at the weekend. It doesn't look like much but this should raise +$1200 USD. The slow cool didn't stop the surface coating of phosphates developing but boiling the pieces in lemon juice makes it easy to scrub off. I seem to only have one issue now, there are 1/2

What are your thoughts on this fellas? It's an idea for a fundraising piece for @juliasubbotina.bsky.social Should I make it more simple? The beauty of the florks is in their simplicity. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

I've been bestowed my first ever patch and I'm over the moon. Thank you @tootswoot.bsky.social ! πŸ«‚ I'm not sure if this is a sign of approval or if I'm now a member. πŸ˜† Either way, I'm truly honoured and I love it. ❀️

I've just prepared a mould with 11 pieces. 5 x seals, 5 x Tryzubs and a shark to thank @tootswoot.bsky.social for an amazing donation. I need 340g of silver for this pour. That would cost a LOT of money! Thanks to those that have donated, I love you for trusting me. πŸ’™πŸ’›

@tootswoot.bsky.social I wanted to keep you updated. I managed to swap the bracelet for all this silver which I can do a great deal more good with. There's enough here to make about $1,200 USD in pendants. πŸ₯°

I have a new toy! πŸ₯³ It has taken me a while to get time to build it up. It's a laser engraver/cutter and I picked it up from a Scope charity shop for Β£70. Win, win!
