Drawing Platinum Tubing,

Here's the latest tube drawing experiment.....the metal is Hoover and Strongs' Plat/Oro, a 950 platinum alloyed with gold. Very malleable and ductile! Tube shown is 3" tall X 5/8" (about a ring size 5) inside diameter X .080" (12 gauge or 2mm) wall thickness.
One annealing from a 3" disc to this final tube size.
