    I received a terrific gift - several .999 silver coins for the
    express purpose of my jewlery-making! But, how do I go about the
    process of melting them down? I know, of course, that I'll use my
    acetelyne torch, but how do I get it to a flat sheet with consistent
    thickness? And, is there a way that I can get it to, say, 26 gauge?
