Soldering a straight, centered jump ring/bail every time! This video was made possible by @haroldstudio who sent me all of these incredible castings. Use code SOCIETY to save 10% through 5/12. If you want a link and a BONUS SOLDERING TIP, comment “share the bonus” and I’ll DM you! I did no additional finishing on any of these, they all arrived perfectly finished and smooth to help increase soldering ease and reduce cleanup difficulty! The 🌽 and 🍓 especially made me smile.
Creating an indentation in your solderite board so that your jump ring sits while you solder it against various pendants and components is a HUGE time saver. Pay attention that you have drilled deep enough for the ring to sit just about half way. Other burs besides a ball can be used for the same result! Then I quickly create an indentation exactly where I want that jump ring and this makes it foolproof.
If you have any questions let me know and be sure to follow @haroldstudio and check out their adorable castings over at haroldstudio.com some are available in 14k yellow gold too 😍 T<br><br>#metalsmithsocietythrowback #silvercastingsforjewelrymaking #silvercastings #jewelrycastings #14kcastings #jewelrytutorial #solderingtutorial #solderiteboard #ballbur
