Interesting how many times you say “you see”…. Considering you can’t see a thing Bc there’s no zoom or you just don’t put the camera nearly close enough
I have been doing this professionally for 7+ years I am still trying to figure out how some of us jewelers can do this job for years and years with as much craning their necks I see other jewelers do. The military put a bunch a wearing I my neck I have titanium plate in my neck to repair c6 c7, I have a bunch of equipment to make sure I don't crane as much as possible, and I still have problems at times with pain.
Thank you for sharing! I especially liked the way you talked through your process and decisionmaking as you were soldering. Definitely inspired me to try a solder pick.
thanks for sharing your technique for placing and soldering pieces. This is something I’m still learning and have many failures. I’m working to reducing these, and appreciate your lessons in helping me in that direction. Fantastic effort for a first video.
For those, ( like me ) that don't have such a steady hand, find a small bird feather, sharpen with scissors to a sharp point dip the point of the feather into flux, touch the solder with the point of the fluxed feather until the solder attaches to the feather, transfer the solder to the place you want to solder. Place the feather in a safe place away from the flame.
This was my favorite video I have watched in your series. Your framework technique is so simple, yet ingenious! Once you learn the basics of soldering, the truly hard part is figuring out how to hold together complex designs. You made it look so easy. I look forward to trying this technique out! It would be wonderful to see other ways to hold things together...
Wow, I love your problem solving skills! This is one of the aspects of silversmithing that I love. I've been learning since 2016 and you are inspirational and very kind to share your talent with us all. I really enjoy watching the master's at work. Your botanicals are very lovely and a treat to see. Thank you oh so much!!
Thank you! I was also baffled at how some creators appeared so uneconomic with their sheet metal.
Thanks for writing and for watching!

I use sticker paper. It’s an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of paper that is sticky all over. What a great way to make the flowers. Thank you.

Why not just scribe the circle with your calipers? It seems to me you'd save a lot of time.
You are a great narrator too.
I follow you all the time I am a goldsmith myself, 😍😍Bangladesh
Someone seriously better pay you a lot of money for that 😳😰

These are really pretty. I appreciate you explaining your workflow and showing it. I’ll try this out soon!
Thank you for another great lesson Melanie. I enjoy your videos more every time I watch them. This one was fantastic.
