To be fair I've been shaping clear silver fumed spoons out of 1" since nov 2010. I don't spend much more than 2 hrs a day a few days a week working on it so I'm just now getting a grip on the shape.:twitch:

trying fuming some silver and gold on the inside and draw clear lines to incase it. I usually use about 4mm

Doing some more today, I'll certainly give that a try. It sounds like good practice for getting my lines straight for iso color, although I have no gold, thinking about ordering a gram online.
*edit* scrap ordering gold online, $2 over spot plus shipping? No thanks, sourcing locally.

Two days ago I broke numerous pieces in the fire, ran out of oxy in the middle of an iso piece, then after refilling I cut myself, followed by running out of propane in the middle of the next piece, I took the next day off completely. I got back at it today. Here are some pics of todays work.
