I just found your channel and am so in love with what you do. I also bought your book today! I can't wait to make your designs and try to make my own. Thanks again !!
i don't have one of those steel template things yet because of cost but.... i think i can make a mushroom with clay covered in copper foil to do this cute lil pendant
I have learned so much from your videos and I thank you !! I see in the materials list that you use both a fume, smoke extractor and the air purifier. I can see the need for a fume, smoke extractor but do I still need an air purifier?? I ask because my husband is on oxygen 24/7 and I solder in the garage, I have an air purifier in house but ??
Hi Sharon! You don't need both. A fume extractor is made for soldering but if you don't yet have one, an air purifier on the table positioned right where you are soldering (close by) is an okay substitute. For example, in my workshop I will use a fume extractor, but in my home if I am soldering at the dining table I will put the air purifier right on the table where I am working to suck in the fumes. Always wear a mask as well. If you are in the garage be sure to open the garage door and have a fan positioned to circulate the air. Safety is #1!
I have your book that this project is in. It's helpful for me to also be able to watch you actually make something. Thank you!

Does anything soft soldered tarnish or rust? thank you for teaching us!
It will eventually naturally tarnish being exposed to oxygen, humidity

@@LauraBethLove thank you so much for taking time to reply !!
Do you recommend any particular model of soldering iron ? One That you are able to do delicate designs With ?
At least an 80 watt iron for lead-free solder, I have a few recommendations here www.amazon.com/shop/laurabethlove
I followed step by step. I can’t get my solder to stick to the copper. Any tips?
That could be de to a number of things. Clean the metal, use fresh chemicals, a hot enough iron.
Can you use like an old pepsi can for this??
No it would be too flimsy, you should use thicker metal. You could try it but it would not hold its shape. Thanks for watching!
