    Great instructional video. I have been a lapidary worker for a little over a year, I have plenty of material and a work shop in a corner of my garage. Silversmithing is the next logical step for me. I do have a jump on soldering though which is a big help here. I was certified in soldering for electronics plus I also did brazing on rotors for electric motors, I have the concept for flowing metals and I love to watch it flow! Ha! Thanks for your advice here.

LOL 😆 You put so much work into making that pendant and a special tool for for every process. I bet you have a special place for everything. Tell whomever filmed this video that they did an excellent job. 😉

      You can file the edge of the bale, or you can buff it with bobbing compound, just depends on your skill level. I suggest filing and then buffing if you are just beginning
