"Soldering Made Simple shows how you can make professional-quality jewelry right at home. The key to author Joe Silvera's approach is a handheld butane torch that is safe to use in any home or apartment. Joe demonstrates how this easy-to-use torch can solder any small-scale jewelry project with success. Part one: learn all about the tools and materials you'll need for a home setup; read about and practice fundamental soldering techniques, from the basics of fueling to key skills such as pick-soldering; and review related metalworking techniques--drilling, polishing, using a jeweler's saw, and more. Part two: learn by doing as you make 12 charming jewelry projects; create earrings, charms, pendants, rings, and a clasp; and get bonus information on bezel setting and ring sizing."--Back cover.
