This was excellent, so informative and well done, to the point but with a lighthearted style. It went so much faster than I expected. Thank you so much this really helped!!

That was a brill video and explained a lot. I have made quite a few projects but you have answered a few questions I had particularly about the disposal of pickle and the copper coating on the brass. A big thumbs up xx.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!

Oh my God where have you guys been my whole life

What copper cleaner would you recommend instead of penny brite. I cannot find it anywhere. Thank you

[@beaducation]

We have been desperately trying to find Penny Brite too! The company has had some supply issues and are not making it right now. Honestly, I would head to your local hardware store and see what they have for copper cleaner.

I don't know if you still answer questions on this video, but here goes... 😁 I've soldered electronic components with a soldering iron, why do we need a torch to solder jewelry? Can't a soldering iron connect, say, two ends of a jump ring? Just curious!

[@beaducation]

Hi! So glad you found our classes! You probably noticed that all of the classes and techniques we teach (and solder we carry in our shop www.beaducation.com) use high temp (torch) soldering. We don't advocate using soldering irons for jewelry making. Soldering irons are used with a softer solder and the bond it forms is not nearly the strength or durability of soldering with easy, medium or hard silver solders and a torch.

Any news on when the kits will be back in stock?

[@beaducation]

I do not have an ETA. The best thing to do is go to the page for the kit and add yourself to the notification list. www.beaducation.com/p/3719-metal-stamping-tools-soldering-starter-kit

I am afraid of setting the house on fire. Approximately 5 years ago my house did catch on fire. Not to any fault of my own. I still haven't completely gotten over my losses. 😔😔😔

[@beaducation]

Hi Verdella. Totally understandable that you have this fear! Very sorry to hear about your house. I hope that you find other jewelry making techniques that interest you and keep you creating. Thank you so much for watching our videos!

I’m not afraid...I’m a man...So I can’t be afraid of jewelry and girl things. But it’s also true that some of the best teachers are girls. So I guess I’ll admit it...I want to learn to make jewelry...lol.
