Don't stop, your channel is growing! Great to find you, learned a new tip from you already (using the tri-pod grate on the soldering board) a nice mid height tool. Thanks! Tip for you: after 12 professional years this book opened my eyes about heat and the soldering process, debunking myths, etc.: "Soldering Demystified", by Jeanette K. Caines.
Hi Ellen! I do have a tree trunk which I use for my stamp work and things like hallmarks and general hammering. The soldering and sawing takes place at my jewelers bench. If I remember correctly I used a steel mesh square to solder in this video. Now, I most often use a third hand to grip the excess silver for the base and heat from underneath. The steel mesh square tended to absorb too much of the heat when I was trying to get the solder to flow
Drilling a hole in your bench pin & putting the earring post through is a great way to set stud bezels! Great video.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I still have yet to make earrings, lol
