Thanks! I’ve been accumulating gear for metal smithing. It started with me just watching videos of guys melting cans and pouring bars. Now, a couple days ago, I just dropped around $1k on a high end roller mill. It’s always a conundrum to know if I should spend on the high priced items and be assured I’m getting quality or buying the cheap Chinese knockoff that often can accomplish the job (provided you can assemble it with no instructions) but can also be totally dysfunctional garbage. Having experienced smiths share tool recommendations can be very helpful, provided they aren’t paid promotions for Chinese trash.

Thank you so much for sharing your process. For a self-taught, beginner silversmith such as myself this kind of tutorial is like gold! Question: wouldn’t it be a bit easier to join your links before soldering? Or is there a reason for soldering first? Thanks again for freely sharing your knowledge and process. Your calm demeanor and straightforward technique is easy to watch and follow along with. 😊

Thanks for the new video:) May I ask ask you a question? I’m trying to make large fat links for a necklace. I’m using 9g 1/2 round and no matter what I do including using the nylon tipped pliers and still I can’t stop from marring the links. I’m trying to get them to meet perfectly so they’ll solder nicely but in trying to manipulate the tight dimensions of the rings they get really mucked up. I have also tried annealing them after cutting them. Is there a trick to this?
