Thanks Nancy, I used to watch your videos along time ago when I was first try to learn how to saw, I got so frustrated braking saw blade That I didn't touch it for a couple years, but am giving it another try. I went to your website and did the little whale tail project and actually got it finished :) now i think i am going to make smaller ones for earrings. Thanks so much for video, you are so talented and the body cam works great.

THANK YOU NANCY! I learned a lot! I started making silver jewelry simply by watching YT video's! You have been one of my greatest teachers and also you are inspiring....I am pulling cat hair out of my eyelashes as I type. btw, why are middle age women with cats called "old cat ladies"? The guys live a long time! At 30 yrs. old with a kitten, we are simply cat lovers, but when those kittens are around 20 (even 15 yrs. old) we are then referred to as "old cat ladies" WTH?...this just occurred to me! lol!!!

Great video as always Nancy! I have a question about the tee soldering, what keeps the pieces from falling over? I could understand if you had used 2 third hands! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

@aliceharvey3019 4 жыл бұрын

Larry, around 11 minutes into the video she says she cut slots in the pieces and then fit them together.

Actually she doesn't "say" it, it is in writing, but that's the trick.

I the first solder (tee); how did you get the solder to adhere to the metal up high like that...off the charcoal block? Gravity dictates it should fall, so I’m guessing you have a method to keep it up there.

@Nanamema 4 жыл бұрын

SuElyn Peters I believe the flux was what’s holding the solder to the piece

She cut slots to fit them together and have a better hold.
