Barong Junggayan Restoration Process

Now for the bands:

I had to remake one from scratch too match the others.

The second band was partially salvageable, so I remade the broken and lead soldered section (you can't hard solder with lead - it eats through the silver). I then hard soldered the new section to the old section, and then stamped and chased that section to match the rest of the band.

(I also added a small rounded extra band between the pommel and the hilt.)
