Turning gold is quite fun. The safety valves have now been made and fitted.

With gold being a soft malleable metal how does it take to turning without deforming or is lower carat gold being used?

This was some re-cycled 9ct from Cookson Gold, so quite hard. Previously, I have made lost wax/plastic castings for ‘large’ safety valve covers, which is normally nearer 18ct.
