Sorry to hear the weather turned on you right before the deadline, @silverd510. Wind-driven rain, a spray area that has to stay open, and slow drying times is a rough combination with one day left. 😅 I hope the conditions improve and you get everything finished and installed on time. Good luck! 🍀

Your point about appreciating fine things really resonated. It’s easy to enjoy a piece without realizing the skill and patience behind it, and the detail that most hand-poured silver comes from impressions in delft clay rather than molds shows how much tedious work goes into it. I’d never have guessed that.

It’s great that you keep supporting long-time community members like Ray Brockman (Toxic Bullion). I’m looking forward to seeing the piece! 🪙
