5 Reasons Solder Doesn’t Flow – Don Norris

I was asked for some tutorials, by a couple ladies in my Jewelry Making Class and thought I would share the info….

First – if you want to learn it there is probably a tutorial online for it – Google is your friend!

Two places I look to for metalsmithing info are Ganoksin (http://userblogs.ganoksin.com) and YouTube (http://youtube.com)! Simply put the technique or term you are looking for in the search window.

Here is a small sample of interesting tutorials:
