Nice tutorial, you mentioned that for a wide band ring you need to add 1/2 to 1 size. How do you go about sizing a ring with a narrow band using half round,square and round wire, how would I determine how much wire I would need for it. Can you stretch a ring by hammering with a rubber mallet and chasing hammer?

I would like to use argentium silver to make myself a set of stack rings. Thanks

Thank you for the great tutorial. I have 2 questions. First, what was the gauge of the silver sheet you used, and second, have you ever worked with Argentium Silver? I hear it has a slightly lower melting point than Sterling, and is much less likely to tarnish.

Thank you!

Hi James,

The rinse solution or pickle that i use is made by dissolving "Pickle safe compound" in water. I believe it is sulphamic acid. Once again, if working with chemicals, please refer to their MSDS for relevant safety information.

Hi blakeneyd,

Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your kind words.

There are hazards and risks involved when working with most chemicals. I use both ferric nitrate and nitric acid, both of which I consider dangerous.

Personal protective equipment I employ in my studio include safety goggles, gloves, a respirator and a full length apron/coat. It is important that your safety equipment is designed for and suited to the chemicals you use.

I work in a well ventilated area, and use double bunding for all chemicals I use. I also store my chemicals in accordance with guidelines in their respective Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

I would say it is a must to refer to the MSDS of any dangerous chemical you use in order to understand the risks and hazards involved as well as the requirements to mitigate and manage them.

It is also of utmost importance to understand the proper process of disposal of hazardous waste to make sure the environment and people are protected. This may vary from location to location, so I would recommend calling your local council to ask for the proper method of disposal.

Cheers,
Nephilim

Hello, and thank you for your ring making tutorial. It was very clear and easy to understand. I have been to your etsy store and love your work - it's clean and elegant and appeals to both the traditionalist and the modernist, which is not an easy balance.

I would like to try etching but I am worried because of the chemicals. Can you tell me, please, are you using Ferric Nitrate? And if so, what safety precautions do you take. I live in a small apartment and have just bought a small fume trap, but I don't know if that and my respirator will do it.

Thank you again for the great tutorial, I hope to see morr of them.
