I'm new to your channel and recently subscribed. I must say that you're one of the best teacher's that I've come across.
@@manalive8835 thank you!!
Nicole, I love everything you do. And thank you for sharing your expertise. You make what seems complicated, very approachable.
You make it look so easy Nicole, yet I know it is not lol. Your soothing voice gives me the confidence to want to try though! Bravo! 👏
Thank you! That was excellent. What size ball did the largest punch make? It looks about 18-20mm. Thank you for the slow exacting instruction, really! I've been watching people make balls without instruction for a year now, I'm so glad I found your site. It's very helpful.
Nicole, have I mentioned how fabulous you are and how much I appreciate your teaching? So many details of metal forming (in classes and books) are not mentioned; assumed. Mahalo, for sharing!
@@flyingcheff thank you!
Thank you Nicole, you are an excellent teacher, I enjoyed watching your video and hope to try this technique, Thank you for explaining the reasoning behind your choice of dapping block 😊
Thanks for another awesome video ❤,Michelle
Thanks for the video. You make it seem possible for me. Next time you are in the UK I would love to take a class please.
Are you on my UK email list? If not, feel free to send me an email directly so that I can notify you when that happens: ringgoldnic@gmail.com
I believe I am now. I found out you were here the night before your course started :) literally two miles down the road 😂
you're genuinely a master!...thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial, your techniques, and your time!
this is great. How would you close the hollow form? would love to see! thank you
Great video, thanks so much for sharing this information.
Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thank you for this!! When you solder other pieces onto the hollow form (like the stem) do you need to retain the hole in the form still?
Great video! Thanks ❤
Always Amazing!!!
Thank you! This is great!
I hope you find it helpful!
I'm thinking of using two spheres, one inside the other (with the outermost also having a few shape modifications) to construct a bell. Do you think that would be possible with this technique? Since bells are quite thin compared to these spheres, would a different technique be better, I wonder?
Yes, it is possible. For the inside hollow form you would need to use hard solder. For the outside sphere you can use either medium or easy so that the solder on the inside sphere does not reflow.
Excellent but for me the music was too loud and intrusive at times making it difficult to understand you. Could be my hearing though. Thanks for the video!
Excellent feedback, thank you!!!!
What is the purple sanding cylinder you were using? Is it silicone or sand paper?
@@MrsLeguyader it’s called a sanding band
@@ringgoldnic thank you!
I am curious are you right or left handed?
I'm right handed. I didn't know until I'd already taught myself how to use my torch that I'm "supposed to" hold my torch in my non-dominant hand. 🤷♀ Now, I teach my students to use whichever hand feels most comfortable.
@@ringgoldnic I did the same thing.
