    I too have been curious about electric welding of various metals. A
    very fine community college instructor and a member of the Colorado
    Metalsmithing Association group (CoMA) arranged an introduction to
    welding at the occupational education center in Denver. They were
    the only folks around teaching certified welding and had a wide
    variety of tools. At one point I observed a student TIG welding a cut
    in the side of an aluminum soda can. As you know, this is almost foil
    thin. If he could do that with aluminum, I assume that it is doable
    with gold and silver. 

    As an aside, CoMA is having it's usual fantastic 3 day symposium in
    Salida, CO on July 13 - 15, see
