Sterling Silver
I want to melt sterling silver and cast jewelry. Where can I find the equipment to melt metal safely?
I have several pounds of sterling silver and some casts that I want to pour melted silver into to make original jewelry. I've searched for equipment to melt the silver but just keep finding suggestions like "using a torch." I thought maybe there is a pot or kettle melting system that I've yet to discover. All your help is so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Uh, have you read up on smelting?

Check out the melting point of sterling silver. Chances are you won't be doin' it on the stove-top.
