@@greggreenwood4628 kindly feature about soldering with copper? Can i use a copper solder , not silver solder? I'm not sure i can get a lower temp copper as solder. Thanks very much.
Hello Java Pua, It is difficult to get a copper colored solder. I use silver solder and make sure the pieces fit perfectly so the solder seam does not show. You can also liver of sulfur your copper pieces and this helps hide the silver solder. I hope this helps you. Greg Greenwood
Great video Greg, thank you for sharing 👍
Hello New Life, Thank you, I appreciate it. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to let me know. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
I had no idea you can do that with acrylic! Thanks!
You bet!
Thank you for showing the whole process. More videos like this of various styles of jewelry pieces would be helpful.
Thanks Rodney for your feed back. I feel it is important to see what is involved in making an entire piece. I plan on making more!! Make sure you check the notification bell so you don't miss any. Thanks again. Greg Greenwood
The more I watch the more I love your channel...I already bought all the tools to start soldering, but I won't until I watch all of your videos twice 😀
Hello JuegoArt, Thank you for the comments, I appreciate it. If you have any questions once you get started, feel free to let me know. Good Luck. Greg Greenwood

Hello Elisa, You will learn fast! Keep it up. Greg Greenwood
Thank you so much, not only your voice is soothing and therapeutic but you also a motivator 😊
Hello Elisa, Glad to be of help. Greg Greenwood
Greg you are a thorough teacher. How do you keep patina from rubbing off? Thanks for your videos- Dianne
Thank you Dianne, I appreciate your comment. As for the patina. On Sterling silver, the oxidation (dark areas ) will normally not rub off. They will continue to darken and you need to buff or steel wool them to make them bright again. As of copper, brass, bronze. once you have the patina you want, you can spray them with clear lacquer or clear polyurethane. Keep on watching. Good Luck Greg Greenwood
I love your pieces. Thank u for the lessons. I have a gazillion questions though :)
Thank you, I appreciate it!! Feel free to ask any questions at anytime. I am happy to help. Greg Greenwood
you are so talented! I subscribed!
Thank you so much!! Greg Greenwood
Hi Greg, great Video as usual, do u have any videos about riveting? thank you.
Hello Nora, Thank you for your nice comment. I will be doing a video about non-soldering attachments in the near future. Riveting will be part of that video. Keep watching! Thank you again. Greg Greenwood
Thanks so much for a brilliant video Greg. I have a reasonably good skill set but lack experience and have no design training. This and your other design video on 3 & 4D dimension have really inspired and given me the confidence to start having a go at design work. So much better than churning out basic bezels, rings pendants etc. Do you have any more ‘how to design’ or ‘design development’ videos in the pipeline?
Hello Karen, So glad to hear you are stepping out of the ordinary!! Start with some of my videos: "Jewelry Design Ideas made Simple", "19 Tips for outside the box jewelry bezel settings", "15 Ways to attach a Jewelry Pendant". Yes, I will be having more design videos coming. Check out my channel for more ideas and techniques. Thanks again for watching. Let me know how it goes. Greg Greenwood
Ooo great! Already going through your catalogue of videos and subscribed so I won’t miss your new videos. Thanks again Greg!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and subscribing. Enjoy. If you have any questions, let me know. Greg Greenwood
What buffing machine would you recommend? In your video I saw the Rouge polish you used for the silver; what would you use for copper? Thank you!
Hello Crazy Info, I recommend the buffing machine that you can afford. Most are very good at what they do. So, buy a 2 speed motor and get what you can afford. I recommend that you watch 3 of my videos. "Jewelry Buffs & Compounds", "Jewelry Polishing Machine & Dust Collection", and "Age Old Low Tech Polishing & Buffing Techniques". These will give you great pointers on the machines and compounds to use. You can use any of the compounds on copper as well as silver. Check out those videos. It will help. Thanks for your questions. Good Luck. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 thank you thank thank you! I am going to look right now!
Great. Enjoy. Greg Greenwood
Hey greg, do you know whether or not working with brass is similar to working with silver? Would the techniques you show on your channel also apply to brass? Thanks!
Hello Timothy, Yes, you can use the same techniques with brass. It is a little stiffer to work but all the techniques apply. Thanks for your question. Greg Greenwood
The audio does not match the video. But still very interesting.
Hello Annette, Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate it. I re-ran the video to see what did not match. I'm not sure which part was out of sink for you. But I'm glad that you found the video interesting. Thanks for watching. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 Perhaps it was just my perception. I want to thank you for your extremely thorough instructions. I have been trying to find a class that will teach me how to silver solder. I'm so glad I found your channel and I have bookmarked several episodes. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. A.
Hello Annette, Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate it. I am very excited about you finding my channel to learn how to silver solder. Check out my Soldering Techniques Playlist and start with the video "5 Secrets to Perfect Soldering". This will give you the 'basics' of silver soldering. Then go from there to whatever video interests you. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to let me know. I am here to help. Greg Greenwood
