a flat wide ring with melted edges

[@SC-rb2jr]

Your voice is very calming. Very clear instructions emphasising those vital details. The ring is great, I will definitely try this technique. Thanks again.

Fantastic video as always Soham. Your videos started me out on my jewellery making journey and I subscribed to Peter Keep's excellent training program over a year ago now. Please keep the videos coming.

Love the overall effect..great texture and very abstract..thank you for sharing Soham. .hope your hands aren't too painful. ..my fingers are headed the same way. .🍻

I accidentally made this in yellow gold a while back, due to soldering inexperience. But I really like it. I put a hammered finish on it and it looks pretty cool

[@purplealice]

Fascinating! Not only does the melted edge get all irregular, the texture of the surface becomes bubbly or "blistered", like certain types of pastry! What an interesting look!

[@julietowers9131]

Yeah that's reticulation and makes fabulous pendants

[@purplealice]

Apparently, though, it wears off after a while; is there a way to prevent that?

[@marlenequigley7476]

Great and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@pattiburchwell257]

Love your videos- so informative!

[@julietowers9131]

I have tried this before but tried to reticulate the whole ring rather than just the edges and ended up desoldering the solder seam. Now I am a little more knowledgeable I would try Rio No Flow and paint the join and hope it didn't desolder.

Such a great effect, thank you!

[@jettevittrup9935]

Great video! Just what I needed 😊👍

[@user-bb6xy1lx1w]

[@dickrickdickulas]

Lovely to watch you working is there any chance you could explain the maths behind ring sizing and measuring out flat metal Much thanks Rich from Scotland

Howdy, fun and different. I did like the way your flux behaves. Stuck wild like to know what brand or type it is. By the way what took is that you used to ear Mark the center...OH the cool like box you used to light your torch. Sweet! That is a? Live your TUTe's & as always thank ya bunches 8 }

[@Vatsek]

Nice design.

[@bettybho2168]

Would you recommend to make this ring in fine silver?

[@akssvin7389]

excellent

[@terryswails1191]

Nice ring, can you do that with copper?

[@pamkriner5945]

You lay the solder across the join...not along the join?

[@lucialaredo2706]

😍👍👏

[@miekemanders6598]

I love your video's.. all of them! I have learned so many things from you. I alwats have many questions because I dont follow any lessons. Difficult to find sinds I live in France. How come that your joint is not melting while your edges of the ring do melt? I use always 925 or 950 silver and I have a propane gas burner.

[@1soham1]

the oxy propane little torch allows the hot flame to only melt where it is focused. the propane air torch heats the whole thing so it melts the whole thing.

[@miekemanders6598]

Oh I see.... Maybe one day I 'll by the little torch. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
