Love how short and to the point this was, usually zone out about 10 minutes into some videos.

Thanks for watching!

This appeared in my recommendation page on RU-vid today and the funny thing is that I was looking at a really fine silver chain the other day and was pondering exactly how they soldered the tiny snake like links....welll there you go. ..Prof John isn't jzst a great teacher, he's psychic too!

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

LOL! The world is full of well timed coincidences. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your support! : )

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

Hi Carol, Glad you enjoyed the video. I think it's fun to see how the industry makes things so quickly. Thanks for your support! : )

@bcicav626 3 месяца назад

Nice video. Does the solder flow on to the entire chain?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 3 месяца назад

No, only in the seams. 😀

@Sweetp45 7 лет назад

Wish I could solder like that. 😊

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

Hi Margie, Yes, wouldn't it be great if we could just put all of our soldering projects through some sort of magic machine? Thanks for your support! : )

@mysteriousremains4059 6 лет назад

hi Professor John! i would be really greatfully if you can teach me how the powder solder is made. sorry my english language is not good. I mean the right proportion of each component

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 2 года назад

I have never made powdered solder. You need to research the topic further. Perhaps you can find a recipe for it online or in a book. Good luck with your creative pursuits.😀

@Milosz_Ostrow 4 года назад

Since the entire chain is coated with a soldering powder before it goes into the machine, what keeps the links from getting soldered to each other and what prevents the links from getting coated with solder alloy? Ideally, one would want the solder to only stick to the ends of the wires of each link.

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 4 года назад

The kiln soldering process shown in the video uses a solder that comes in a powdered form. The chain is vibrated in a container full of the powdered solder. So, the solder only fills the gaps in the links and shakes off of the rest of the chain. : )

Thanks!

What is this machine called? Looking to start a business

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 2 года назад

It’s called a tunnel furnace. 😀

@garoshahabian8459 6 лет назад

HI I AM INTERESTED IN HOLLOW CHAIN CAN U PLEASE SHOW US VIDEO ABOUT THE MACHINE THAT PREPARES THE HOLLOW TUBE(GOLD) WHERE INSIDE THE TUBE GOLD THERE IS COPPER,THANK U

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 6 лет назад

I haven't made any contacts within the jewelry industry with any companies that produce the type of chain you described. So I don't think the OJA will have a video on that topic any time soon. Thanks for your support! : )

@MichellesHandmadeCreations 7 лет назад

I love seeing how things are manufactured. What I don't understand about the soldering machine, how does the chain not come out completely covered in some solder if it's been completely covered with flux? Did I miss something?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

The chain is prepared using a two-part process. First, it's tumbled with a powdered mixture of flux and a soldering alloy. The mixture coats the entire chain and gets packed into the seams of the links. Then the chain is tumbled a second time in talc. The talc removes the material applied in the first step from the outer surface of the chain. The seams of the links retain the flux and solder mixture. So, when the chain is fed through the soldering oven, only the seams are soldered. Sorry this wasn't clearly explained in the video. Thanks for your support! : )

@MichellesHandmadeCreations 7 лет назад

Ah ha, now that makes sense. I probably missed that detail when I watched the video. Thanks for your quick reply, as always.

@bentleygt3716 7 лет назад

oh. Now i got it!! firstly thank you John and Grey for the demo. a very interesting machine (news to me) . but what amazes me is that even AFTER the 2nd tumbling. the solder powder stays in the seams. very cool. thank you for sharing.

@jagdevsingh9290 4 года назад

Hi professor. Why don't you show the complete process of chains making, soldering and polishing in one video ?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 4 года назад

You can find OJA videos conveniently grouped by categories on our website at: onlinejewelryacademy.com. This allows you to choose which videos you want to watch. : )

@garoshahabian8459 6 лет назад

HI WHERE IS THIS MACHINE AND HOW MUCHDOES IT COST

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 6 лет назад

The soldering machine in the video is the property of Monte Christo Trade Corp. in the downtown Los Angeles Jewelry District. I do not know the value of the machine. You can probably research it on the internet and find a manufacturer who sells them. Thanks for your support! : )

@unicornadrian1358 6 лет назад

The brand is right on the front of both machines. They are Italian made.

@clarewillison9379 4 года назад

Garo, “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it”!😉

@robertaulet7000 4 года назад

How expensive are those machines? I can only imagine considering how much I spent on tools. Lol

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 4 года назад

I've never looked into the price of automated chain making machinery. So, I don't have an answer for you. But I imagine that they are quite an investment. Monte Christo has several engineers on staff who help keep their pre-WWII equipment running. So, don't forget to factor in the cost of staff to keep the machines running. 😀
