Brilliant and so lovely! Excellent video. . . Note to the website Master: The main picture of the pendant is not what she actually makes, but no big deal really because I would have watched it anyway. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful talent. Aloha, :)

Excellent video. Although I have been soldering and setting for awhile, this video gave me little "aha!" moments which just pushed me up a notch on skill. I love her designs, and she's very easy to listen to. Recommend this to everyone :-)

Superb class demonstrating soldering in steps using various hard and medium solders and how and when to use. She is a great teacher and gives plenty of useful tips and techniques to further enhance your skills. I've also enjoyed the various different shapes possible to use in making a pronged pendant. I will definitely be trying to incorporate this into my repertoire.
