craftgrrl | ring making video! (Reply)

Hi everyone!

I just made a new tutorial-ish video showing start to finish how I make some of my basic rings. It's a bit more in depth than my last tutorial video for the coin rings, and I really tried to show my exact techniques for certain things (like, apparently I have a weird personal style of soldering that you don't see a lot). I was trying to make it fun to watch both for people who have no idea of the process behind silversmithing, but also for people who already know all this stuff but might be interested just to compare techniques.

Anyway, even though I edited out the boring polishing/finishing work, the total video length was a little over YouTube's time limit of 10 mins, so I had to split it into two parts. So here's the cheat sheet:

part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICqkZ_n9WJ0
part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVHBtgIqucQ

As a bonus feature, I am rambling inanely throughout the video for your amusement, -and- my face is clearly visible for a bit there, so if you watch the video it will be -almost- like we've met. Haha.
