I haven't really done much casting. I've melted down scrap silver and made wire and sheet but still need to play with the lost wax process. I do some wirewrapping and all the silvermithing work I do would be considered "fabricated" work. After seeing a lot of hand poured silver art on here I'm inspire to try some lf that as well.

Silver is not as easy to melt as gold. It will "crust" if you get it too hot too fast. But once you get the rhythm, it's easy.
Thanks for the tip
