Everyone needs to watch this. Never soldering before I found it helpful and learned a lot. Once my equipment arrived I was ready to go and felt confident I was safe and would not burn down my home. Perfect, thank you.

If I were a teacher with a jewelry shop, this video would be Mandatory for all of my students to watch. Brilliant torch safety video with excellent instructions. This guy really knows his stuff and I can't wait to read his book. Thank you so much for keeping me safe. Aloha, :)

Awesome instructor. However, most of the videos were unavailable to play due to error.

Excellent video tutorial. Great content, presented professionally yet in a friendly manner. Joe knows his subject inside out. I was always too frightened to use butane torches and even attempt to solder. However,Joe inspires confidence and now I am so eager to go get the tools I need to start! 5 stars yet again, Beaducation team.

Great video!
this really takes me back to high school jewelry class, except my teacher had the oxy/acetylene. So glad this is something I can do at home without the need of those gasses. The instructor is very engaging and clear making this video easy to fallow!

This is a great step by step tutorial. It helped me get the confidence to try out a torch for the first time. And when it's been awhile since the last time I used my torch, its great a reminder of how the on/off and locking switches work. Joe is a great instructor, very clear and thoughtful.

Wonderful little video. It had tips I didn't get in an in-person metalsmithing course, and made me feel a lot more secure about working at home. I also now have some things to try to see if I can get my non-working little starter torch to light. Thank you, Joe and Beaducation!
