At 1:12 this is a crucible. Brasure (3:55) is just “solder” in English I think. You usually match the type of solder to whatever you’re making - so if it’s a 18 carat yellow gold you’d use 18ct yellow gold solder, sterling silver solder for sterling silver jewellery etc. And I’m pretty sure at 4:31 this is silver pickle solution - it’s a warmed diluted acid, usually sulphuric acid, that removes the black oxidation you get after soldering. I’ve read that you’re not meant to use steel tweezers in the sulphuric acid solution because it can cause a hard red-brown solid to form, as the iron sulphate you get initially (which is green) reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide. Though I don’t know how much of an issue this is in practice! Just in case anyone is interested as I was 🙂
Cooking and Jewelry Making have more similarities than I’ve previously given credit to.
yes 😂 that's so funny
