How To Collect Silver Bits and Silver Dust, Wire Jewelry Tutorial


I posted a topic asking what do I do with the silver dust left on my bench the other day in Wire Wrapped Jewelry Artist facebook group, and everyone suggested me to collect them and wait for it to accumulate, then sell it back to Rio's or melt it to create something. I never really had to collect silver dust until I started to drill my silver wires and blanks, using metal sheet puncher will leads to some silver bits for me to collect too, and I figure picking them up from the bench might be a little tricky because these silver dust or bits will get into those holes on my wooden bench.

So I took this opportunity to recycle two of my ST. DALFOUR 1 Ounce Jars to collect my silver bits and silver dust.

Here's the video - please excuse the fan spinning sound at the background, I was using an USB fan near my workbench lol.

P/S: I put a ceramic plate on top of my wooden work bench before start drilling my silver pieces just in case the hand-twist drill will drill through the wooden workbench and the wood dust mixed up with the silver dust.

Let me know what you think!
