How to make a necklace
It made me 
"This evening, i made a silver camper pendant for a friend, sawed, formed and soldered from sheet silver, granulated silver, and square silver wire.""
How I did it: First, i cut the sheet silver to make the camper and door. then i pierced the windows with a drill press, and sawed and filed them to shape. the wheel is made from a hammered piece of granulated silver, the tow bar is square wire. I sweat-soldered them all on with hard solder and a propane/oxygen torch, then soldered a bail on the back, handmade from square wire. the tire is blackened with liver of sulphur, and burnished at the rim.
Lessons & tips: do not attempt this without taking lessons in soldering. wear safety goggles when hammering, filing, or sawing. be careful!
