I've made byzantine chains and bracelets in copper, but now going to attempt in 925 for sons 14th birthday. Was going to attempt a box clasp but now giving serious consideration to a C clasp. BTW, do you have an insta account? Or email address, would love your professional opinion on a couple of things. Damien.

      @damienolive2185 sure. It's a lot to learn in one go. So much missguided info out there. This clasp is much easier than a box snap for sure. I will be doing a video on that at some stage. I have released my insta and website on a previous video, but my wife deals with all those messages. And it would take too many hours out my day to answer everyone. I do have a Discord server page setup that I was slowly building up. Pics can be added on there and I can answer when I get a chance. discord.gg/jaSqAkPS Thats a Discord invite link.

    • @metalofhonour
      @metalofhonour 22 дні тому

      You've just got to think positive and relax. Don't get disheartened if it doesn't go to plan and willing to start again. The more chilled you are, you'll find you'll be happier with the result each time. When I teach people, they generally pick it up fast. There's a diploma course called jewellery academy that costs a fortune and pointless projects. That's the worst one. I've met a few people that have done this particular course and none of them are happy with their progress. Good solid teaching from the beginning and I'd get someone to make this perfectly after a two week solid course. There are good courses around too from what I've heard. Good luck with the jewellery.

    • @Jennifer_Tabick
      @Jennifer_Tabick 13 днів тому

      @ thank you. I think you’re right. Just stay chill. I’ve learned about of good tips from Jewelers Academy and made a few good jeweler friends. So far the project of the endgames ring is going well. I’ve watched this video on making a shank to fit a setting about 100 times. It’s so helpful. I broke down the process into days and took my time. It seems to be going well. I’m setting the stone on Friday. I really enjoy the way you teach. It’s super chill, simple and I feel like I can easily practice the techniques. Thank you for doing these videos. If you open a school or offer a course… I would do it. Thank you again.

    • @metalofhonour

      @Jennifer_Tabick cheers. I was shocked when a friends showed me how much the jewellery academy course was, and so many pointless projects that aren't needed. I was just so shocked with the cost. And she showed me the video links of the person making the piece and it was worse than youtube videos and I could tell all the work done off camera. Just wasn't fair. Really pleased their helping and thanks for watching so much.

    great video as always! was curious what flux and "pickle" solution are you using for soldering

      @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!
