Have you heard of using plasticine as a base- set your wire on top and make a little wall around your design and then pour a little mixed plaster over-wait till it dries and then remove the plasticine. Turn your design over(which is now stuck into the hardened plaster) and then solder without fear of melting. I watch the smith's from India. Great video!
second time i heard this!! i bought it at a gem shop and they said it was citrine but i believe you(: Now I’m interested haha - how do you tell the difference?
@@iveybolthouse hard to explain i am specialist, i will try! bring it back, if you spend more than 40 bucks! first citrin is seldome and cost a lot ,1 carat aaa quality beginn 40 bucks! so if you pay 30 bucks for 15 carat you know whats going on, A gem seller have to now that! citrine coloure is yellow, green/yellow, light yellow, a bit of dark yellow and finish. your stone have a darkbrown/red/orange top and beginns clear. look at amethyst its clear and then the top purple, this nice fraud people take them in to heater for long time and the colour change to your stone. i hope you you know the difference now better. keep in touch, can always help something! You can have real citin from me. greatings from Austria!
@@kassemkarim7579 oh that’s the “hold it clay” if I didn’t mistake your question!! it’s a “fire proof” clay for small pieces of jewelry! I’ll put a link in the description(: it’s a little expensive, but especially while learning it’s a very handy thing to have!!
Are you using only easy solder? Or do you use medium sometimes? That could help your soldering process. Although using the medium solder I've melted thin bezels.
@@BRadWilson3 i used medium solder for the base and then easy solder for the top pieces.. i think it might possibly be my torch? or just time and technique honestly haha watching it back I could’ve been more careful with where I was torching - could be a couple things 😁
Dude. I lost my ring. Happened at work like a week ago. Some rings aren't replaceable. Don't know why I am telling you this. But it's on my mind. Anyway it was a old thing. It was silver and turquoise. A protection ring. Navajo from Arizona. It was a bear claw or foot print. My just a idea. If you need ideas. But keep it up 👍. I hope I find it. It's under snow I think.
Wonderful work, thanks for sharing
@@kassemkarim7579 thank you! of course(:
