The making of one original Akaija, by casting a silver rod first, pulling a wire from this, bend theh wire, weld parts together and and finally the polishing. This time-consuming procedure is how I started making Akaija's. You'll understand that things now have changed.

Where the action is	Stamping special 'clay' for casting	Heating silver	More heat, more heat!
Reaching the melting point...	Okay... cast the silver	Yeah... that great	Cast silver rod
Rolling mill the make a wire of it	Pulling the wire to the desired thickness	Now the interesting part: making the base-ring of the Akaija	Filing the ring
Hammer it perfectly round.	Positioning the ring and the 'inversion'-spiral	Positioning is difficult, therefore we need a 'third hand'	Welding the ring to the spiral
Grinding the Akaija	Sanding...	Polishing device	Akaija
