Fold forming…

Written By David Carrott

…a crescent to be used in jewellery.

The Video pretty much tells the story. I use 24 gauge Argentium silver. The hammering or forging is done with a small hammer on steel anvil. Annealing is very important, but do not over heat as that can fuse the fold shut. (Done it!)

My name is David Carrott aka The Recyled Metal Smith. I love working with gold, silver and copper and I am deeply into recycling metal, from melting down old gold and making new contemporary jewellery, to cutting up old copper pipe and raising copper eggcups.
