Design and Measuring
First, we use cotton thread to measure the required length of the silver piece. According to the length we measured, we will trim a section of the silver.
Bend Folding
With the trimmed silver piece, we will bend and fold its head to the tail.
Heating and Cooling Off
Heat up the silver piece to soften it and place it into cold water to cool it down. We will use it latter.
Shaping
Fix the shape of the silver with tools like tweezers and so on, as the image shows.
Flattened Stretch
Now we will place the shaped silver into the pressing table machine. We will flatten and lengthen the silver so as to keep the shape of it.
Trim and Polished
Use scissors to trim off the unnecessary parts of the silver and remember to polish the incision of it to be smooth.
Welding & Modeling
Use tools to hold the two ends of the silver and make them paralleled together. Add welding powder between the two ends and heat them up to weld them together, as the image shows.
Cool Off
The heated silver will be cooled down by cold water.
Once Again Welding and Modeling
The cooled down silver will be held up with tools again. Now we will continue to weld up the silver piece so the silver will turn from single line to double lines.
Cool Off
The heated silver will be cooled down by cold water. It will be used in the next few steps.
Polished
The welded silver will be polished by tools and cleaned off its black dirt.
