IN THE BEGINNING...there are scraps of silver to be melted down for the ingots. Pictured in the crucible used melting and to the right of the right of the crucible is the ingot mold being heated.

|
The scraps of silver are now being melted with the torch. This precious metal is heated to a molten stage and seems to almost be rolling as the torch fires the crucible.

|
The molten silver is poured into the ingot mold.

|
|
When removed from the ingot mold, the silver ingot is ready for sheet or wire or whatever the designer has in mind.
