Silver jewelry

[tequilared]

I'd like to make some silver jewelry using my scroll saw. Does anyone have a source for silver?

Try a Google search using the following terms:

silversmithing supplies

silver sheet 18 ga (or what ever gage thick you want)

If you want to really get into silversmithing, you will want to move into the 4/0 and 6/0 blade range; these are just too small for my eyes. Try this source: http://www.silversupplies.com/catalo...ws/index.shtml
Scroll down the page and look for Pike brand blades. I think these are really for hand saws, but should work at very low speeds. Don't use these blades on wood!

(Need I add a warning about hot metal and wood saw dust?)

Once again you have pointed me in the right direction. Thanks so much for the info and the warning as I am new to this and will take all of the pointers I can get.

Just curious, would you be using turquoise with you silver jewerly?...they seem to go nice together. Do you know where would one find designs for this. I have been making wooden jewerly out of various woods, and mostly using my own designs. Thanks Bob
