Today we're looking at how to hammer out a simple form cuff. This only takes a couple of hours. I begin with 6mm round, fully annealed silver wire.

I should really have annealed it between the steel block and the mandrel, just to make it easier.

The finished product is work hardened and very durable. This is an ancient technique with endless possibilities.

I'll show you how to anneal silver without "fire stain" in a video coming soon.
