Thanks for putting out these excellent videos. They make a big difference to beginners like me.

Great ideas! Thank you. Im a beginner on a budget so ideas for resources and materials that dont cost a months pay is a life saver.

As always, a GREAT and INFORMATIVE video! Thank you!

Thank you,Greg! Another very informative video!!!

Thanks for all the effort to learn novices like me how things work and even do that for free...for free is rare these days.

I know this is a part one series and I’m sure you’ll get to it in your next series, but do not forget the ventilation system!!!!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with…thanks again, Michelle

Thanks for your videos. Very useful

Very good knowledge given by you sir Greg

🙏 sir all videos are very knowledgeable for jewelry makers your lessons easily enter in mind again i like this Thank you for your classes 🙏

Thanks for sharing your great ideas. There's lots of valuable options here. I'm glad you specified "working model" for building a soldering station. For a moment, I was worried about your brain when I saw it built out of corroplast. ;)

All great options Greg! I like to solder things up in the air with a 3rd hand : )

Greg, those were great ideas… I used my great grandmother’s old cast-iron skillet… if she was still alive oh my goodness she would say I’m gonna have to knock some sense into you lol😂 anyway, I’ve got a large chopping block wood and then my rod iron skillet sits on top of that and inside there is a stainless steel rotating with pumice rocks then I’ll put a solid right block, or if I need my charcoal block, or it just depends whatever I need to do at my torch station. But it works good for me and I have plenty of room for all of my thirdhand…. This is very good advice for people who are getting started. I’m also a professional metalsmith, but I mostly work with Silver so I just say I’m a Silversmith.. great job, Greg, hugs 🤗, Michelle

Ok, I've tried the soldering several times. I'm having NO Luck...don't know what i'm doing wrong. I'm going to order borax cone and dish. I'm using "stain glass all purpose flux" that might be the problem and i'm going to order a charcoal block. After that, I don't know what else to do. I think i'm heating things up properly...i'll keep trying. I'm working on a "spinning ring". joint is tight and flush.
