    Not sure where you got your information about platinum being 3x heavier than gold, but that's not correct. Platinum is actually just slightly more dense than gold (21.45 g/cm3 for platinum vs 19.30 g/cm3 for gold). Maybe you meant to say silver? (that's still not quite correct though, since silver has a density of 10.49 g/cm3 - about half of platinum).

      Also while you do your soldering try using soldering flux, the brand I use is “Batterns Self Pickling Flux” makes the solder run a lot easier!

    Maybe add a “Chapter 2” to this one by using the tiny bits you sawed off to make claws so you can mount a nice gemstone on the ring?
    Another great video, regardless! 👍
