Ok,what is this white peace of something.....no one? This is .999 pure silver

And this will become silver kill coil

Let's start

Firs the tools,usual ones for my project

The silver is very hard after the rolling mill,so need to become softer.For that reason one more tool is added

Cutting

Filing

Even more filing

Scraping

One side ready,marking the other one

Cutting

More scrubbing

Time for sanding.I will start with 600 up to 2500.Reason for that is,silver is very hard to polish.Especially the pure silver is almost mission impossible , always goes back to his original colour.

Sanding with 2500 sandpaper by hand

Polishing

Success

And the final product

That is all for today lads. Hope you like my new silver coil. Stay tuned for more

Love it! Did you paint the fans yourself? How did you find rebalancing?

Yes,I pained them.If they are sprayed evenly,shouldn't be a problem.

You wouldn't happen to be a Marine Engineer to trade would you? Just seems like that sorta thing that fits, all that manually filing etc. The g-shock also

I wish to be one,but I'm not.I use to work as a jeweller for very long time (not in Uk) ,that's why filing and cutting are my passion

By the way I'm a big fan of your project Midas.That gold theme is really awesome! I'm planning something in silver for my next project

I just managed to paint all the parts from my water cooling loop. Took me longer than I expected . I found,that painting acetal plastic is harder than doing the same with other plastics,without proper preparation. Any way,results are good

Currently I'm assembling all the parts together. I'll do some quick leakage tests to make sure everything is in order. So the photos will come soon

Looks awesome. You must have so much patience with all the cutting, filing, sanding by hand!
