    Be careful Sojourner, oxy-acetylene is too hot for silver smithing.
    If you are fabricating or smithing hollow objects, the whole piece
    needs to come up to temperature not just one area of it.
    Acetylene/air works well with silver as it's a softer flame. Natural
    gas and compressed air also works well. Take your time and expect to
    lose some projects. If something doesn't work, try to analyze what
    went wrong. Often other students can be helpful.
