   Me: No way I'm gonna watch an hour of some guy smelting a ring. But I'll look a bit just to see what this special alloy is about.

   Me one hour later: Well that was captivating.

   Guy hears about purple gold (AuAl₂) and how hard it is to work with. Guy buys about 6000 USD worth of gold, spends a few *months* on "how hard can it be", smelting it, purifying the result into gold again, smelting it again ...

     @Moon @doctormo I love how he documents every little thing, every mistake (or discovery of a challenge, more like), thought and correction, and I love his silly pretend Google searches.

     @clacke This is hilarious because I went through the same thing.

     I was originally crestfallen when it didn't completely fill the mold.

     And my spirits lifted when I saw that it was saveable.
