This book is the complete guide to simple soldering. "Soldering Made Simple" takes all the mystery and fear out of soldering so that amateur jewelry makers -- even those who have never held a torch -- feel empowered and confident. Friendly and thorough instructional text and step-by-step photos help readers build skills gradually, which they can then employ with the included projects. Joe Silvera presents soldering techniques that use a simple setup, a handheld butane torch that is safe and easy to operate, and a few other supplies.
