I mention it every time I am soldering in my videos and I will continue to do so. I can't emphasise enough how important tight joins are when soldering. A tight join soldered with pressure applied will be the neatest and strongest join possible. You will need the minimum amount of solder which saves money, the solder will flow nicely and completely fill the join easily, the join will be very easy to clean up and it will be of no concern when polishing. As there is no gap filled with solder its extremely unlikely to show during polishing. Often my solder joins on the inside of ring shanks require only 1 light tap with a hammer on the ring stick then its ready for papering. By learning this correct technique you will save time and money at the bench! You learned something from this video??

In this short video I explain a few essential techniques that need to be mastered to ensure neat and accurate filing work. It's not difficult to do but it needs to be practiced with great attention. Even the most simple filing requires good hand and eye coordination. Actually it goes deeper than that. Both hands work together to feel and understand how the piece is held and re positioned in time with the file blade motion while simultaneously feeling how much pressure should be applied and exactly where. Its important to watch the file on the piece to gain understanding of what's being done and make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired result. You learned something from this video??

The design possibilities are seemingly endless considering all the ways tree branches can grow. I started the ring with no final design in mind. Instead I let the ring 'create itself' through me. Its a wonderful way to make any kind of art work and a break from the norm as for many years I have been pressured to make pieces exactly as intended for a desired finished result.

The ring in the title was a mock up of a design I made for a customer who was having trouble deciding on a final design. Just offering lots more sketches was doing the opposite of making a decision easier so I made a quick version of the kind of thing I had in mind. It was so quick and easy to finish I thought it would be a nice ring for the Diamond Mounter channel so here it is! The guide will be a 2 part show. In this first part I concentrate on the leaves showing you a few variations and how to make them. Trees, branches and leaves come in millions of different shapes and sizes so the design options are almost unlimited for making nature inspired jewellery. Once you become successful at making this ring the techniques will cross over in to making earrings and pendants also. The curvy and weightless nature of the design is ideal for jewellery and so its very versatile. You learned something from this video??
