This short tutorial shows you the importance of learning to pick solder. It demonstrates the process as well as explaining the advantages of mastering this skill. Pick soldering allows one to control both the amount of solder applied as well as allowing precise placement. I think the biggest advantage is how much faster one can do things. Spend some time practicing this technique if you'd like to speed up and improve your soldering skills. If you find it helpful or interesting, please give it a like!

Good content, I intend to try to speed up my Soldering. One small suggestion, I view with a 12" Tablet screen, but could have seen more if zoomed in closer. Would you consider zooming in closer, in general, for your videos? I think your videos are very informative.

Hi Chad I am a fellow ‘back’ sufferer and usually RU-vid while waiting for some relief! You know I like your dedication and commitment to this teaching stuff, and admire your skills too. It might be an idea to remind your viewers occasionally that they can pinch and expand the picture to zoom in on the important bits. DaintyAnne highlights this in the older Picksoldering video and it does help even though the resolution drops at 4x you can still see the colour change and judge the time to touch in with the pick. Again thanks for the hard work you do and for sharing your skill so well. Cheers man at age 76 this old dog is loving my new tricks. Thank you.

Nice, thanks for the work. I suspect bicycle wheel spokes would make a very good pick, sharpened on a grinder. Quit a hard spring steel, easier to unscrew rather than cut unless you have spring steel wire nippers.

This is super helpful Chad, just getting into silversmithing and I'm loving your videos! I'm still feeling unsure about how you gauge when the piece is at the right temperature to take in the solder... I guess just experimentation and practice? I'm always worried about heating it up too much and starting to melt it - are there particular signs to look for in terms of knowing when it's hot enough and when it's getting TOO hot?
@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing 2 месяца назад
A couple of clues: if the metal starts to look slightly reddish, you are getting close, and if you have previous solder joints they start to get a little shiny prior to remelting. If the surface of the piece itself starts to look shiny, you are getting close to melting it:). Thanks for the good question Michelles!

@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing Год назад
It won’t hurt to flux the solder, but I generally don’t because when you dry the flux it boils and move your pieces of solder out of place.

@chadssilversmithing
@chadssilversmithing 2 месяца назад
That's a really good question David, and I don't know the answer. Most picks I've seen are either tungsten, which work great, titanium which is interesting in that it doesn't seem to transfer a lot of heat towards your hands, or stainless steel which some people use, but I haven't tried. The guy who taught me used to stick a stainless t-pin through a pencil's eraser and use that:). Sorry I don't really know the answer to your question!
