[Jewelry making - Article 00697] - [Orchid] Add silver lining to wood bracelets

Hi everyone,  

    I am a woodworker and make wood jewelry. I make Ebony bracelets that
    I would like to add silver to the inner circumference of the bangle.
    These bangles have a flat inside with a small radius on each inside
    edge. They are 17 to 25 mm wide 

    I was thinking I could roll the silver up the radius to secure it. I
    work with wood tools, so my methods might seem a bit odd. 

    My idea is to create the lining by soldering a strip of silver 2 mm
    wider then the width of the bracelet. I would then slide the lining
    in the bracelet and put it on the lathe. I would spin the silver and
    roll it over. 

    I have read "Goldsmithing & Silver Work: Jewelry, Vessels &
    Ornaments" By Carles Codina. 

    I have never worked with silver in this way and wonder if anyone has
    any suggestions for rpm etc. 

Thanks
Mark Noll
