I know this is a part one series and I’m sure you’ll get to it in your next series, but do not forget the ventilation system!!!!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with…thanks again, Michelle
Hello Michelle, Thank you for your comments, I appreciate it. Check out my video "Jewelry Soldering Bench Ventilation Systems". I think you will enjoy it. We cannot forget about ventilation!!!
Thanks for all the effort to learn novices like me how things work and even do that for free...for free is rare these days.

Hello B. You are welcome. I appreciate it. Greg Greenwood
Thanks for sharing your great ideas. There's lots of valuable options here. I'm glad you specified "working model" for building a soldering station. For a moment, I was worried about your brain when I saw it built out of corroplast. ;)

All great options Greg! I like to solder things up in the air with a 3rd hand : )
Hello Paul, Thank you for your comments. I too like to solder with cross locks and the 3rd hand. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
Greg, those were great ideas… I used my great grandmother’s old cast-iron skillet… if she was still alive oh my goodness she would say I’m gonna have to knock some sense into you lol😂 anyway, I’ve got a large chopping block wood and then my rod iron skillet sits on top of that and inside there is a stainless steel rotating with pumice rocks then I’ll put a solid right block, or if I need my charcoal block, or it just depends whatever I need to do at my torch station. But it works good for me and I have plenty of room for all of my thirdhand…. This is very good advice for people who are getting started. I’m also a professional metalsmith, but I mostly work with Silver so I just say I’m a Silversmith.. great job, Greg, hugs 🤗, Michelle
Hello Michelle, Thanks for sharing. I love to hear the grandmother stories! They have so much wisdom. Again, check out the ventilation video. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 I forgot about that video… I have a safe system step up in my small studio… Thanks, Michelle
Hello Michelle, Glad to hear you have a safe system. Greg Greenwood
Ok, I've tried the soldering several times. I'm having NO Luck...don't know what i'm doing wrong. I'm going to order borax cone and dish. I'm using "stain glass all purpose flux" that might be the problem and i'm going to order a charcoal block. After that, I don't know what else to do. I think i'm heating things up properly...i'll keep trying. I'm working on a "spinning ring". joint is tight and flush.
Hello Catherine, Stain glass flux is not the type of flux to use. It is low temp flux. Borax flux is what you need. I use "Handy Flux" which is a prepared borax flux. The borax cone is good also. I just prefer the prepared flux. Have you watched my video, "Secrets to Perfect Silver Soldering"? Also, as we speak, I am working on a new video about how to solder with many details. Watch for it. Let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
