Your teaching skills are outstanding. Thank you so much for these videos. The best tutorials I have found on youtube.

Awesome soldering Instructions best one I’ve seen yet x

[@Sekhmet1Songstress]

You make soldering look like a walk in the park! 😄 When I think of all the melt downs I have (my nerves, not the solder...) Pieces always stuck where they shouldn't, solder blown across the room, bubbling flux throwing them off like a Bucking Bronco, exactly counted out pallions fallen through or stuck in the block... 🙈🙊😲 Hopefully, thanks to your expert advice, I will do much better going forward! 😊 💕

Your description is amazing! Such a good teacher…. What is underneath your honeycomb? Looks like a kiln turntable or something?

[@elguapojefe736]

Thank you very good video and you are beautiful 😍 keep up the great work

[@angeyates7155]

Kim, thanks so much for these fab videos. All the various pins/ wire, how do you stop them from melting or joining with your piece? Thank you.

[@kimthomson400]

The steel ones don't melt. The brass ones do but generally after they've done their job holding things together. We generally use them, away from the solder join so they don't attach but even if they did, they can usually be easily snapped or cut off :)

[@ashleighhartland8678]

These videos are so brilliant! May I ask what size split pins you are using please?

[@mrscleavagedd]

When soldering a copper ring how do you hide the silver solder joint or is there such a thing as copper solder? Love the videos, really helpful

[@kimthomson400]

There is copper, brass and bronze solders but the colour match isn't great and they're not as easy to find so I generally teach people to get a very tight join and use just enough solder for it to work, without having any excess solder showing.

What’s the mesh called that your pinning your piece to?

[@DavePawson]

What gauge is the binding wire please Kim?

[@makeitwithkim-jewellerysil3126]

No idea Dave :) It was just standard binding wire from a jewellery supplier. I've got loads of reels as I teach many students in multiple venues. Some are thinner some thicker but they all get used interchangeably without issue. In jewellery terms I think there's usually only a couple of points of a mill difference. They start at about 0.3mm and go up to about 0.6mm

I very much enjoyed your technique and your voice. Then, your very pretty face popped into the view, with those terrific eyes - I've been in for a treat today!
