Platinum's a pain though. JM are unpleasant to deal with unless you're

reasonable ingot is likely to cost a fair price in its own right.

I just love recycling silver (it's so easy!), and cuppelating mucky
gold is an excuse to make shakudo.

Blimey. Not often I learn three new words in a day.

cuppelation, shakudo and litharge (in the Wikipedia definition of cuppelation).
I already knew what a tsuba (I can see 2 from where I'm sitting) is. And a
