This guy seriously seriously knows his stuff
Finally someone who discusses how to set the flame. Thanks for the video!
When I use my alcohol borax flux solution I dip the ring I'm working on directly into the bottle. Then I use my pick and put my water borax flux paste on the solder joint. We do things very similarly. Nice work!
I found the tips on the flame types very helpful. Thank you Joel, Aloha.
I love your videos you have a great way of explaining things without taking too long about it
a great video by a very knowledgeable guy
Thanks' for posting!Very informative!
Great video showing torch flame differences !
Thanks so much
Pro tip...... Turn your torch tip around so that the knobs are pointing towards the flame, then you can adjust the flame on the fly with one hand..
Ótima aula sobre a técnica. Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos.
Hi I love your videos!!! Have question. Sometimes silver peas get red and even melt but solder won’t, got ruined stuff not once, maybe have some advice for me what I’m doing wrong, thank you, Vj
Hi Joel, thanks for your videos, for sharing your experience with us. Please tell me, when I change the size of the rings, in the place where the soldering was, pores form, which are very difficult to hide, can you give any advice on how to solder so that pores do not form in the place of soldering?
thank you
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for explaining in such a detail! May I ask what size of tip do you use for the Smith little torch for such soldering?
Good video!
I have a question that seems to be ignored by most jewellers. I assume it is because they can not do it. Can you solder a ring ( in my case a 999 pure silver ) ring together without Solder paste or flux? I know it is possible, I have only seen one person do it and they used spit ( yes I know Spit) and they fused the two halfs together by only a flame torch. Thoughts>>>>
That is welding and it can be done on pure metals but its easy to accidently melt parts. We do it with Platinum.
@Joel McFadden I am practicing on various gauges of 999 wire. To see how hard it is to keep them together Strong, but also without any solder
Yes you can fuse fine silver w/o solder, but you run the risk of melting the silver.
@Dan I am practicing this . Not easy and would love a welder but will keep trying with a flame.
@@AceBullion But why? Whats bad about solder?
Thank you!
I have never seen one melt. The thing to avoid is keeping it super hot for a long time. We even weld plat with this torch thats close to 3000 degrees F
Do you have a contact number
I learned Great tips from this video. Thank you👍. What type of flux do you use? I am using Borax dish, but need to always add water all over again...
I've always wondered if my torch tip would melt if I cranked both knobs all the way, and what would happen if it did melt.
It doesn't sound like a good thing to test out, really
Tank you master
I have just purchased a Uniweld Artorch from ebay can you tell me which nozzle that your useing with your oxygen and propain mix any help would be greatly appreciated
How i see which torch is good, because on amazon is lot of types ?
Can you let me know the name of wooden piece stand that you use for file, from where i can bought both stand and wooden piece?
Are you missing some equipment, gadget or whatever in tha large jewelry room you have?
no
It came with it
I don't understund one thing: what is the porpuose of f boric acid and alcohol if you use flux ?
It keeps the rest of the ring from oxidizing. Or discoloring. You could coat the entire piece in Flux but the better flux is designed to clean not necessarily seal the item from Oxy.
Someone else answered a comment but I would rather you answer the question of "what is the ratio you use for your boric acid solution?"
It's not as important as you would think. But 50/50 is good. The alcohol is a medium to get the boric acid to flow evenly on the surface. Usually, I have to add some as it evaporates over time.
👏
If you weren’t to use this mixture to prevent oxidation would polishing get rid of the oxidation?
Pickel and polish will get rid of it. However, that will take a lot more time. It will also soften a lot of the details.
Great video but I have a question that how long can we keep on using that burner or torch?I mean can we keep on igniting it for hours or do we need to give it a rest?it is dangerous to keep it on ignition for hours because it could get too hot or can we use it for as long as we want?
I keep mine on just while I'm using it. Maybe 10 min at a time.
@@JMDjewelry thanks for the information.I'll do the same.
here are the things used in the video shop.roseco.com/p-3897-boric-acid-flux-powder.aspx?keyword=boroc%20acid shop.roseco.com/p-3901-batterns-self-pickling-hard-soldering-flux.aspx?keyword=flux shop.roseco.com/p-3916-the-little-torch-5-tip-storage-box-kit.aspx?keyword=smith%20little%20torch
Hello. Would this little tourch cut woven steel mesh 0.71 mm gauge wire. - i am looking to do intricate cuts so a large tourch is way to crude. Thanks for your time.
probably not hot enough. I would use a laser cutter or water cutter
Also, what is the name of that soldering board did you use? The board you use on the table. Thanks!
Solder Board Transite Hard 12X12 www.stuller.com/products/54-19000/97072/?groupId=192964&recommendationSource=SiteSearch&recommendationSearchId=XPUUAyMgtV&recommendationSearchTerm=soldering%20boards
do you make your own solder?
What is the solder made of? Is it just a wire of whatever material the ring is made of? If i work with brass do i need a brass wire to solder? I am new to this and confused
No, its alloy of the same material and others to lower the melting temperature, but keep the same color. Different solder for different materials and can be multiple melting temperature solders.
What is the ratio of alcohol and Epson salt? Thank you.
Its not salt its Boric Acid. There is no specific mix you just want a thin mix.
@@JMDjewelry Thank you.
Thank you. Where did you get the holder for your Little Torch?
it came from Stuller
Sir could you tell me what the combination of boric acid and alcohol ratio is? 😎😀😃😎
it's usually a 50/50 ratio but he is right, alcohol will evaporate if the lid isn't tight
Are flashback arrestors required with the Smith’s torch?
There always a good safty precaution.
