Ok after three years of studying, reading Hokes book and watching god knows how many youtube videos I have finally started, all has went well apart from set up cell at 3.5 constant volts and the amps were sitting at 7.4 amps last night, went to bed and when I got up my full anode basket was empty and my anode bar was eaten away to almost nothing, I have turned the volts down to 1.5v and the amps are sitting at 4.3, hopefully this will slow the rate at which my silver shot is being eaten, Im quickly running out.
 
Welcome to the forum.

Yhe silver cell is fun to do and watch.
Be carefull with leaving the cell alone for the night, the silver can grow into the anode bag shorting the power supply.
It will burn a hole in the anode bag.

Keep us updated on your project.
Do you have any pictures to share?

Here are some pics of the silver cell, unfortunately I ran out of silver shot too quickly and the cell only lasted three days but not a bad yield nevertheless
