Sorry, don't mean to sound harsh, just was so shocked to see you "anneal" for so long. SilverSmithing for JewelryMakers by Elizabeth Bone (one of many great teachers and Silversmiths) says: "To prevent [firestain] caused by wires copper content oxidizing when heated, AVOID PROLONGED HEATING. Anneal silver in a minimum amount of time -as soon as the metal turns pink (not red) STOP (!!) Always pickle after annealing. - E. Bone -expert Silver Smith. I hope this helps, it really helped me. Thanks!
Quenching to harden works on steel because the carbon atoms inside get trapped between iron atoms and then tempering afterwards releases the tension the quenching has on the material. Comparing steel with precious metals is not possible, the difference between them is too great.
WHY in the world do you "anneal" your wire for a year? About 8-10 seconds is all you need if you do it right. Very curious. But thanks for the demo, its good to see it.

I've always quenched to harden, not soften.
Not in precious metals, it's the opposite of ferrous metals.

Great video thanks a lot 💚
good video, thanks
you only need heat till dull red then leave to cool

Knowing this is an old comment, it's still there and misleading new viewers, but where does she say she anneals for a year?
Always quench your piece once the glow is gone
Jack odonohue, why?
