This tutorial shows how to integrate some copper into your silver designs. In the video I show some piercing techniques which allow for the insertion of copper components which are then soldered into place. The materials I used were: 18 gauge sterling sheet, a 4 mm thick ingot of silver, and some scrap copper sheet in various gauges. As always, I am using Hard silver sheet solder, and My-T-Flux from Rio Grande.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, as I've taught people for most of my life. This hobby turned into a fun side gig for me for years while I taught public school. I love suggestions and hearing about others' experiences. What is your favorite project? What kind of tutorials would you find useful? Scroll down for information on my new Patreon!
