Hotter Is Not Always Better - I Haven't Always Been Telling The Truth

All this time I've been saying to use the hottest part of the flame but there are times when it is not the best part of the flame to use.
This film tells you when you should and when you shouldn't be using the hottest part of the flame.
Plenty of hints and tips to be learnt in this film. Don't forget to stick around for the bloopers.

This man has the BEST tutorials on soldering, thanks for showing us, if you can't solder you can't take your jewellery making to the next level.

Hello Andrew! Love your videos!! I am a silversmith myself but so out of practice had all my silver and tools stolen but you help motivate me to get back into it so thank you! I just need to save up money for everyting I need again. Hey by the way change you can wear turned me to this channel but I have already watched you a few times. He has a ring he is giving away I really want to give my fiance a gift for her to remember so if you can make it happen I wont stop watching ya because your great and full of good info and funny to boot. But if you don't I wont stop watching anyways! 😆 Thanks for sharing!

I would like to say how well you explain these processes in your vids, I have done plenty of "structural" fabrication work where a little excess solder is of no consequence. Now I get to see the quality side the jewellery side and a little finesse. I enjoy watching keep them coming

You have a relationship with the solder, materials, flame, heat. There is a joke there. "I dug out an old torch that I hadn't used in over 20 years. It was nice seeing an old flame". I suppose you have all heard that 50 thousand times. Cheers Andrew and Everyone.

This is a little off topic, but I’m wondering if you could do a video showing how to solder very small elements together efficiently. Specifically I’m trying to make small sterling silver beads from dapped halves (7/16ths of an inch rounds) and it’s extremely difficult to keep the halves together as they’re heated. Thank you for all of your tips, love your generous spirit, and you are a gifted teacher.

It would be good to show us flame volume for different jobs. When you say “the bushy part of the flame” does that mean outside the cone, whether you have the gas turned up high versus lower?

let me just say what I learned this week. Nordic gold, is unsuitable for jewerly. it forms an insane amount of slag that will not melt and crummy up your crucible and casting and it will not flow properly. its terrible.
