A cheap way to get a better grip for setting pendants like this one is some strong double sided tape to keep it steady on the bench. Any recidue can be removed with nail polish remover with aceton. Gorgeous design, Chad ❤ Think that will sell very soon 😊
chad before i try to ruin my chain i am making. lol tight links keeping the solder and flux to a small tight location is a solder paste a thing to use i never have used it
Very cool! Can I ask if you are finding any benefits of using the honeycomb soldering board? For bezel setting you can secure the piece in Thermolock and that in a vice. I use a small vice that turns 360 degrees.
Most of the time I just use a single cut mill bastard file from the local hardware store. Recently one of my followers sent me a nicer file which I’ve used until it’s dull unfortunately.
Watching your videos is like having a one-on-teacher/lesson. I learn more every time I watch them. Thank you !

The needlenose bottle you use to apply your flux works great! Source for those squeeze bottles?
They were actually sent to me by a RUclips follower. Similar bottles can be had on Amazon.
Very cool!

The thing I like most about them is that the flux doesn't accumulate as much on them as on Solderite boards. I've yet to try Thermolock.
your soldering tweezers do you sand or grind them to a sharper point once and awile
I do clean them off once in a while, but file the ends flat rather than to a point.
Chad, what is the size/description of the file you use to shape & clean up as you progress? All i have are the tiny diamond ones. Thanks!
