another special birthday gift for a friend
Today we went to celebrate one of K's longest friends, they were in the baby room together at daycare so they are literally lifelong friends and separate schools and activities have not changed anything which is very cool.
It was really fun to give him his first piece of silver and to hear the other kids asking if it was "REAL" silver LOL we hope that we sparked the stacker in at least one child today.
Thanks for reading and Happy stacking!
@dixiesilverminer what an awesome gift and so cool they can watch it being brought to life! A very very happy B Day to Cash and you guys probably just made a few more members to our club in training lol. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

That's a nice piece and a great birthday present. It's cool that you have your own mold for it, so you can make one whenever you want. How many ounces is it?
It is 1.3 ozt of sterling so he can play with it without bending the fins. Sandcasting is so much fun it makes casting most anything so much fun!
That's smart to make it of sterling. It's only a little less silver content, but the added strength means that you can actually use it. Do you make the molds yourself? Or do you order them from a site?
With sand casting the pattern is made in the sand , we make most of our patterns but you can use most anything it is so much fun
I haven't even looked into that at all. I didn't know it was a thing! You're blowing my mind here. That opens up the possibilities so much more! I'm going to have to do more research before asking more questions. Otherwise, I'm just going to look like a chump. heh
Ask away!!! We love questions, every wed night at 10pm we do a live pour with shop talk where we will answer them live! We look at everything now to see if we can cast it! Lol
Do you do the live pour on SSG discord? Or do you have your own discord channel?
I can imagine it would be a little overwhelming. Endless possibilities of pours. :)
What a lucky kid, That is so cool the way you made that video of the exclusive pour and fit it into 3 minutes of footage!
Dixiesilvergirl loves to make the videos! it makes the gift a little bit more special!
