Anneal and water quench of Sterling Silver

This video demonstrates for the viewer how to heat or anneal metal then water quench to soften the metal.

Materials in the video used are as follows:
Ts8000 Bernzomatic torch using MAPro gas, wielding tongs, cold water in the sink.

Basic annealing process:
I heat the metal until orange, then I dip into the water and hold submerged until cool to the touch.

Annealing the metal softens the metal for a bend that I used to make a bail. This was repeated until the bend was achieved.
