I really appreciate your response. (I am trying to teach myself jewelry making and I find that every thing I learn opens the door to new questions.) Thanks again

@deborahhardeman8802 3 года назад

Thanks never knew you could use handy flux to know when silver is soft.

@RioGrande1944 3 года назад

Of course, thank you for watching!

@deborahhardeman8802 3 года назад

@@RioGrande1944 I just wondered do you have a video on how to make a rectangle or square basil? I have some beautiful Cabochons that are square and rectangle but I can’t seem to get to corner sharp. I know if you had a video it would be a good one and it would be a correct way to do it. Thank you guys for the wonderful videos God bless Stay safe and stay free. Deborah

Is it easier to stamp when you do that ?

@parsage68 12 лет назад

Thanks for the quick response. And now that you describe it, I can see it. It would be good to see exactly how you went about soldering the tabs, getting them aligned correctly and evenly spaced, and soldering what appears to be a rather large area for each. I don't suppose there is a video showing that?

Very helpful video in learning how to make a cuff bracelet! Helped me in understanding many aspects! What metal sheet guage do your recommend for this bracelet, do you have videos that show soldering half round wire to make a cabochon stone cuff? Thank you!

@sarajunegray 9 лет назад

I'm interested in finding out which bracelet mandrel you are using in this video.

@carliel2642 11 лет назад

This is a great video! Where would you recommend purchasing the bracelet strip/blank? I'd like to use sterling silver.

@esliet 5 лет назад

If wrist size is 7 inches how long should your piece of metal be for cuff bracelet?

@parsage68 12 лет назад

How did you attach the crystals to the silver on the featured cuff?

@AlwaysMetaling 7 лет назад

What was the brand of the first flux that you covered the silver with?

@mnelson5121 7 лет назад

Hi Bobbi That is a flux made of boric acid and alcohol. it helps prevent firescale when using sterling silver. You can find out more information, such as how it's made, at the following link. Hope this helps. riograndeblog.com/mark-nelsons-tips-mixing-boric-acid-barrier-flux/ Mark

mnelson5121 Thanks so much. I just bought some and notice that you have to be pretty careful with this mixture BUT it looks like a really great protection against fire scale. Thanks. LOVE your videos, sir!
