Hi Wifey, Thanks so much for a great comment. I do "get" the budget thing as I still budget. I also hate getting ripped off! I think jewelry tools and products are overpriced! Plus, there's an amazing amount of learning that we do when we make our own tools, components and products. The other advantage to making our own is that there is more room for creativity. All good reasons to think outside the box and save! Thanks again. Take care and enjoy! Nancy
I love watching your tutorials. Not only are you very amusing, but also amazingly generous. I'm learning a lot. THANK YOU!
Nancy-super great video. You should have your own show on PBS. Love your delightful sense of humor. Thank-you so much for the tips. Looking forward to seeing all your videos, you are great on video.
Great helpful tips for this relative newbie! :)
You are one of the VERY BEST jewelry instructors here on you tube. Thank you so much for all of your videos. They really help to refresh my memory from metals class years ago. Please make one about how you should only file one direction. I see so many people filing back and forth, and I was taught never to do this.
Thank you for the tips I’ve watch you before doing jewellery making very handy tips
Love the Lemon Tip LOL
A few new ones for me there. Thanks Nancy.
I'm just learning how to solder, and I'm pretty impoverished. I started right off using vinegar & salt pickle, and I was happy to finally found a use for the box of borax in the garage. I've been using it alone as flux, but it's large chrystals which are usually blown off by the torch before it melts, even when mixed with water, after the water evaporates. Will the alcohol resolve the blowing off issue? Can isopropol alcohol be used (it's a little dangerous around my house to have an open bottle of booze on hand, I'll just kill it and nothing will be accomplished, and I always have some isopropol)? Why did you coat the sheet with flux? I loved the pretty copper pieces with the little pegs. I must figure out how to put a large peg like that on a concho buckle where one seems to be missing someday! but what were you going to do to the copper pieces that required the blocking liquid? I LOVE your videos! Thank you Nancy.
Thank Mabelito. I kinda think everything is pretty funny- especially my befuddled mind! Thanks for watching.
You have helped me so much! I really love that you get that many of us are not made of money and need to economize. Thanks to your tips and techniques, I've been able to do more than I thought I'd be able to on a budget. I am now making all of my own findings and they are a better quality than the ones I used to order. Thank you!
I appreciate so much these tips! I hate the chemicals we have to use and now I can make them myself thanks to you!
Good grief, I just bought some of these products pre-made. Nevermore, thanks to you. THANK YOU, Nancy.
Great tips and wonderful sense of humor. I'm learning and laughing at the same time!!!
I have enameled penny's that are 1981 and older, made a really cute necklace with them, can also solder them. If you torch a penny that is 1982 or newer you quickly have a puddle of zinc
You are so amazing!!! You’re a great teacher. I love your pieces and your personality!I aspire to be as creative as you one day!😊
Hi Mkinder, I use the 20 mule team as another source of borax when making flux. For some reason, we didn't do the demo on that - although, as you see, I was planning on it. Use the same recipe as with the pharmacy borax. Thanks for the kind comments and thanks for watching. Nancy
many drug stores are no longer carrying boric acid. You can also get it at the hardware store in the insecticide section as roach kill,
Walmart carries boric acid in the laundry detergent section.
You can use plain Borax
Thank you so much for all of your tips, You are an excellent teacher.
If you have trouble finding boric acid, look on the pest repellant isle. Most powdered roach repellant brands are boric acid.
Hi Nancy! I have to say that you have a wealth of valuable information for us. Congratulations for such a great job on this video and for sharing your knowledge which is greatly appreciated. Many blessings to you Nancy.
most helpful...Nancy...ty...
Most pickle works best when warm so, I'd say yes. It'll smell like you are making barbecue sauce! Thanks for watching. N
If you need borax - go to the dollar store and buy roach killer. Comes in a squirt bottle and it is pure boric acid :)
Thank Mabelito. I kinda think everything is pretty - especially my befuddled mind! Thanks for watching.
Love your tips and humor!
Excellent Nancy, you do make me smile watching your vids
Thank you so much ttvaz! That was a sweet and lovely comment! Nancy
Nancy..I am so glad I found you here on youtube. Haven't started out on metalworking but plan to in the near future. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I love all your videos and look forward to many more :)
I don't drink but I do use vodka for making herbal tinctures, its safe to drink and does the job of extracting the plant alkaloids. I have no idea why I felt I had to tell everyone that lol! Oh its because of the cats and you speaking about felting catfur...yes I use my remedies on myself, my family and my animals if they need them...not by force lol!
I use citric acid for pickle. Sometimes they have it with the canning stuff.
I don't know Nancy, maybe its my age and incipient cougarism but I really wouldn't mind finding a student in my pickle pot...much more interesting than a spring lol!
Thanks a LOT Nancy for those tips😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Your great!
I'd love to see you demo hoop earring hinges and snap bar closure.
Yo this the realest lady ever... bottles up lol. Na fa real though thanks for helping us youngins out Nancy
@ceah01 I have an alternative besides using the copper penny. Use silver solder then, make a solution of "blue pickle" (jeweler's pickle that has copper in it from pickling copper and sterling silver) and a piece of steel. (steel binding wire will work). Drop the soldered, sanded and cleaned piece into it and it will copper plate the piece - hiding the seam. Use small amounts of solder so the solder line is very thin - a good practice to use on all soldering jobs. Less cleanup too. Good luck
this is interesting thanks for the tips and tricks
I'm only just getting into this kind of work so every tip is handy to know!
@trekranger Hi Trek! Well, there is 20 Mule Team Borax that is used for laundry purposes - that will work too. Another use I know of is as an eye wash or as a wound application. I got mine in the medical section, near eye care. I hope this helps you find it. Nancy
Rouge with metho too !
Very good video, lot's of great tips. thanx!
Valorie, I will add this recipe to my list. Thank you!
@ceah01 Hi. I think Pripps is great but the other is cheaper. I find that the boric acid likes to separate from the alcohol and Pripps doesn't. I use My-T-Flux from RioGrandedotcom most of the time. If I run out I make my own. The penny thing sounds interesting. Never heard of it. Will have to try it. The Palmolive sounds interesting too. I'll look into it. Did you see my patina page on my website - under technique? Many other ideas there. Thanks for writing. I appreciate it! N
Great tips
Thank you
Thanks! Great Tips!
So informative Nancy, thank you! You have a new subscriber :)
Don't forget to get your borax (flux) at the grocery store where they sell laundry detergent. Big box, much cheaper. Just add water.
I love your videos, they are so helpful. I notice you have a very large box of 20 mule team and was wondering how you use it in your studio?
HEY Nancy, so great to have JUST found you, where are you located, any chance of hooking up for some one on one lessons... I swear, I'm in LA. Cali. but I'd fly out to see you if you do anything like that, Maybe I just got to class too late... Thank tha Lord above for these vids of yours, You're the only teach for me.
I'm in Northern California in Sonoma County. I teach at Chimera Art Space about once a month! Come on up. www.chimeraarts.org/
love this video!!
Thanks classygeek!
Wait really, boric acid is at walgreens? I spent a fortune at my local ten times price of my wholesaler jewelry store because he atleast sells smaller amounts than Rio's giant box of it. That is so exciting if I can find it at walgreens! Wow. And seriously vodka?? I'm so mad I somehow missed this video forever ago because I went to no joke 7 stores for denatured alcohol before I finally found at a smaller local hardware store. Vodka however is avail literally everywhere here in hawaii hahaha. You're incredible and I'm still watching and literally going "holy s**t!!" White out to stop solder flow?? Ok woah. Now I just need help with heat sinks. How can I stop separating old seams and melting earring posts and silly little fine and Argentium parts while soldering the Sterling parts etc. Despite using medium and easy wire solder in order etc I just suck at not melting things. (Or rock at melting things! Half glass full right? Lol) thank you so much nancy you are absolutley incredible all you've taught me over the years!
After you heat the silver piece that you had put into the flux did you put it into a pickle solution? yes I'm very new to working with silver and copper, lol.
what is boric acid normally used for. tried going to wallgreens but no one there seems to know.
What kind of bricks are you using for your torch work?
@missanna208802 Thanks for the nice words, Miss Anna! Great idea for a video too. We'll have to make a video on filing. Thanks again. Nancy
Thanks for watching!
I adore your videos, aaahhhh!!! :)
Hi Nancy! I love your videos :). Is Boric Acid the same thing you get in 20 Mule Team? I just figured that I could use the combination of 20 Mule Team and water/vodka as a flux, but you used Boric Acid. (And then I noticed you had 20 Mule Team there in the background). I'm a bit confused between 20 Mule Team and Boric Acid. Thanks!
@inadazeinc Stop, you're making me blush! Thank you so much. Nancy
Can you please tell me how to make paste of Flux which i can use for soldering Gold & Silver Jewellery.
I am trying to make jewelry using old silver plated forks and spoons. Will the solution you mentioned help stop the silverplate being damaged when I heat the fork to bend it? If I don't heat the forks they break and if I do heat them I basically remove most of the finish.
Hey Girl Heyyy! Cheers, love the vids, you are a star! I realize this vid is older but wow! Gonna pick your brain if I may. Can you plzz get out the crayons and make a new vid on How to make the "Jeweler's Blue Pickle Solution"? Lastly, is the solution warm out of a pot or room temp? Have a beautiful day! Sincerely, Kristi
Blue means there is copper in your pickle, so any used jeweller's pickle is "Jeweller's Blue Pickle Solution".
Any special disposal info to follow on any of these recipes?
do you have to heat the vinigar and salt?
@theclaychick1 Thanks. Wish I could claim to have discovered it. Thank God for sharing! Have fun. N
