Casting An Ingot

Sound off, it won’t improve your experience at all. ;)

This video is Larkin casting a cylindrical silver ingot. They keep every little bit of silver trim and scrap wire, then melt it down to use again. Right now, Larkin mostly turns the ingots into sheet metal or larger gauges of shaped bands for things like rings-- both a big investment if you buy them pre-made.

It's pretty darn neat watching the silver turn red then melt!
