I've just started making jewelry and just found your channel here. wish you were local and I could take classes with you! Love, love, love your sense of humor!!
Ive been soldering since I was 8 yrs old, now I'm in my 60's. That was in the electronic engineering.industry. When I got into Jewellery making some months ago now, I thought, I know what I need to know already. Ha ha. Totally different. Its been fascinating this recent journey, already. Thanks for making your videos Nancy, and of course, being you. Most Excellent.
I’m watching this just at the right time. I have not mastered the use of hard solder, yet. I’ve been making most of my rings with easy solder with good luck, however not happy with the naggy solder color that is left which always seems to reappear no matter how much sanding and polishing I do. I will try again, with the harder solder...thank you for this video!
Thanks so much Nancy for sharing your valuable knowledge. Between watching your TH-cam videos and spending time on your website, I feel like you are my new best friend. You are so generous to provide this information!
Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to you Nancy for making these videos. I study Jewellery ans Silversmithing in London and find these so helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Nancy, I love your work. thanks for showing your knowledge. please explain to me how to use charcoal block because I do not know what the difference between the charcoal block and other blocks of soldering. I also want to know how to remove polishing paste. please help me. thanks I do not write well in English because I'm Portuguese, excuse me. thanks again
i've been trying my had at filigree and i've seen other people use solder powder. my question is if their is a way of filing my solder wire and would it work the same ?
Thank you Nancy! Fantastic as always. Can you do a video on using copper solder on copper and talk about the different types of copper solder? On the Aspiring Metalsmithers on Facebook group we've been discussing this and some individuals say they are getting a "gray" result that looks horrible. I don't have that problem but I don't know why. Is it the solder? Is it the flux (I use Rio's special flux for copper solder and copper sheet)? Is it the type of torch used?
Hi Nancy, big ta for this video! Although i always wash my piece with antibacterial soap before soldering and filing solder before putting it on the item being soldered it happens awfully often my flux does not flow...but i guess in my case it would be lousy joint;) I simply don't have that patient in my...:)
luv ur soldering glasses ! and i luved your drawing in part one ! what an artizan u are ! solder holds no fear for me know , i will be screaming again in a mo ! could i please have your web address ? keep on rocking solder queen !!!
I only use borax cone dish for 35yrs ! Have to try some paste and liquid . Never tried paste flux either l Have had no probs this way ! For fire scale denatured alcohol and powder borax mixed burn off !
I've just watched Soldering 101, Parts 1 and 2. At the end of Part 2, you indicate that the next video will be on butt, sweat, and T. I can't seem to find that video. Have you made it yet or have I just not found it? PS. Love these vids. Looking forward to watching more and thanks so much for helping to clear up a very confusing area of jewelry making.

Nancy, how do you clean your solder? Sometimes I'm lazy, and leave it out, and it gets trashed.
