Nice video! You always provide such clear descriptions. I hope you are feeling more at home in your new studio & finding your tools easier! I used the tip from last week & managed to get some old leather samples! Silly how a few leather samples made me happy!

@kisslory thank you. Pickle at the money is the standard safety pickle. And the flux has many names, it's the bright yellow liquid flux. this bottle is called Auflux. The last one was called Soldar. All the same though. 👍🏼

Hi Ydna. Just watched this through again, and it looks like the small piece of solder is sandwiched between the metal inside the join. Am I seeing that right? If so, lm really interested in this approach, as know most jewellers and books tell you to put the solder under the join or on the join and heat it, which is what I do. However, one jeweller I know recommended I always put the solder in the join as you get a better solder join. I’ve not tried it, but really interested in your thoughts. Thanks again. Phill

@phillbearman359 both ways work perfectly. You'll see me do it in many styles, but I do like to rolling mill down the solder like H has done here, so it's really thin and just about squeeze in. All ways are fine as long as the solder is the opposite the heat source it will flow through the gap. Another good reason to do this is that the solder piece won't pop or fly off into the abyss 😂. If anyone else reading doesn't have a rolling mill, you can hammer solder on steel flat plate or anvil to make thinner.

@@metalofhonour Thanks very much for the advice. I can definitely see the benefits and will give it a go next time. I’m guessing that method probably works well on thick rings. I’ve made a few 7 - 8mm wide and 3mm thick rings in the past, and can see putting a piece of solder in the join would probably help here. Thanks again. And H did a great job - cracking ring!
