I have been hounding florida coral for 30 years, traded heavily for other material over the years, been cabbing for about 10 years . I got interested in smithing this year, even made a few with a braising torch......and melted all the rest .lol I have made a few rings so far . this stuff drives me nuts, always an idea popping in my head, if I don't write it down or draw it out it is forgotten...here are a few I have made this month ...I do know a few things I have to get or improve on polishing will be the first, I am using a bench grinder with a muslin pad on it but it isn't doing the job, I have some pre polish on the way so that might haelp after the tumble and before the zam pics are taking forever to load, will try later

Looking forwards to seeing your work. If you can't make it smaller before you load it, try a photo hosting site like flickr / photobucket. THese sites often provide you with links with different sized images to share on other fora.

Stainless steel shot with a few drops of dawn works wonders for polish...
