Hi Guys, This may be unfounded concern, but is it possible for stuff---like Nickel, to migrate from the surface into the silver in enough quantity to be toxic if it is used internally? Or contribute to our total Nickel load. Whatever that is.

Obviously it can be done, silver melts before SS does. These guys are talking about something else. Speaking about ceramics, get a firebrick from a local brickyard and gouge a depression in it. If you're using oxy-acetelyne I assume you're protecting your face and hands and body with leather, shield and wool. (No sandals). A search on the web for tin-can foundry will come up with interesting stuff, as will the newsgroups rec.crafts.metalworking and alt.crafts.blacksmithing Chuck Red meat isn't bad for you.
