This done, boil the workclean, tie the two halves together withfine binding-wire, fitting the edges veryclosely to each other or the solder will notflush properly. Remember that in goldwork you can not fit too closely; in silverwork, on the contrary, if the work fits toowell, the solder runs along the surfaceand not into the join. When all the joinsare soldered the work can be filed up andthe hanging rings fixed. The smallersizes will be made in like manner. If youwish for more elaborate for
