I learned at least 3 improvements to my basic soldering methods while learning your split shank technique. I have one question. How do I accurately size the two bands so that the finished ring will fit the desired size? I assume I upsize a little, but by how much? I'm making a size 10 ring at the moment and it will be my first split shank.
@OnlineJewelryAcademy7 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrew, You really don't need to size the rings up at all. The angle of the two rings isn't great enough to warrant making them slightly bigger. You can always make a prototype of your ring in copper or brass to see if it fits well. Good luck with your project. Thanks for your support! : )
@JayDub_1434 жыл бұрын
Love this video!!! Can you please do a follow up and show how we would size up or down a double shank band. I cannot figure that out for the life of me.

I noticed that you left a bit of space between your rings and the Buddha face when you were soldering the rings on. It looked like about a mm of space between them, and then the solder chips were sandwiched inside. Do you always leave a little space like that intentionally? I was taught to have your two pieces touching and place the solder chips around the outside edges of your joint.
@OnlineJewelryAcademy5 жыл бұрын
I work differently in front of the camera than I do in real life. I probably just didn't see the gap and got lucky. Joints should butt up and kiss each other before you solder them. And, the solder should be positioned in a fluxed area in close proximity to the joint.
@LouLen102 жыл бұрын
Do you solder the two rings together in the same place where you soldered the joins of the rings individually? I’m still quite new to making jewellery and split shanks
@OnlineJewelryAcademy2 жыл бұрын
I solder the rings together at the point where each was individually soldered. This helps to isolate where things could come apart during heating. It can be helpful if the ring needs to be resized. 😀

I tried this a ways back because I’m a beginning jeweler, and it did work, but later I found out they make tweezers specifically designed to create split shank rings, and it takes about fifty years less time. They’re only like $5 and go in your third hand.
