Chains are my least favorite pieces to make, but always a labor of love. Only had 3 weak solder joins break, out of 23 links!

Waited til to the lowest dip yesterday and fired on my biggest single piece of gold yet. It's smol but an addition to my stack nonetheless.

Fine silver wedding band for a friend. Cast first try, which is always such a relief when sand casting...

I've been smithing since 2017, achieved my second bachelors degree in Metalsmithing in 2018, and have had several iterations of "studio space", but this studio shed is the culmination of many years of "slumming it", and I can't thank my wife enough for making it happen. We had the shed installed in the backyard, after much hassle. And although it was a joint effort, she did the bulk of the work to build out the inside of the shed, including the insulation, OSB, painting, and flooring, as well as the the shelving and layout. I'm so relieved that it's finally complete, but I'm also feeling a bit stressed/anxious about how nice the space is, and how I need to now do it justice. Still need to decorate a bit, but I have several projects on the docket in the coming weeks! Multiple sets of wedding bands, and obviously some "thank you" jewelry for my wife.

1934-s walking liberty half dollar. Thoughts on gradability?

It's cute.

Before, and after.

This is about 2/3 of the way through, and I still have a ton of fractional silver and small constitutional to get through. But it had to get done. Still also need to organize my Mexican silver and encapsulate a few more libertads.

None of this "organization" is perfect/elegant, but I did remove about 200 poly bags from the equation...

Some newly acquired thicc bois! I'm very annoyed that the 10oz don't fit in traditional 10oz bar capsules... what do I do?!

My peace dollar set. Was just missing the 24-s.

I already bought it, but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm so pumped!
