Hi Huiyi! I just made my first hinge project watching this video!!! I love how you teach and you are an awesome videographer!! The amount of time it must take you to create these videos is quite the undertaking. My project turned out because of your educational video--I thank you HUIYI. My locket turned out great!!!

Amazing video! Despite what one of the previous comments said, I loved your choice of music! Back to the video…it was very much on point, step by step and intuitive. I think I’m going to try to make it… in copper! 😊 Only because I’m bound to make dozens of mistakes (or, maybe not) but I’ve learned from past experiences, costly past experiences mind you, to always do new things in copper! Lol! Thank you Huiyi, you’ve got some mad talent and I’m very grateful that you’re taking the time and initiative to share!

LOVE. What is the name if the product (putty like material) you used to hold the two sides together before hinge prep? Also, what guage SS did you use?

@colinjones1941 4 күн бұрын

What gauges of silver sheet did you use please? And for the hinge how do you determine the size of the tubing? Many thanks very inspired.

Excellent and informative video, Well done! My only question. How are your hands so clean?? I've been away from my bench for a week now and my fingers are still looking a little dirty from ingrained metal dust. Don't think I'll ever have clean fingers again.

I'm glad you like it. Make sure to heat it on one side, and the other side is still below the melting point of the solder. Use the heat to direct the flow of the solder. I have it explained with pictures and diagrams in my online class here (I think you can watch it no matter which country you are in, it has English subtitle as well): skl.sh/3FNmjDH

@@kizzywitch I listen to audial books or padcast when making these things and let my hands go on auto pilot. I can’t bear some of the noise those machines made 😅

The thing i was wondering about the most was how to make those tiny tubes for the locket, but you did not make them. 🤔

@HuiyiTan 5 ай бұрын

I have a video here showing how to make a slightly bigger tube, you can make a tiny tube in the same way: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLKKbLWB0Z3Daas.htmlsi=r5U3VmspSJATKZeh
