    Donna, I'd say you are the perfect example of someone who's gotten
    the knack for something most people don't find so easy.  Your use of
    14kt solder is very interesting - possibly a real solution to working
    with NS.  I am a goldsmith - I use Sterling as a utility metal, and
    nickel silver as throw-away shim stock and the like.  Although I've
    soldered everything there is over the years (not really, of course),
    including NS, I'm not expert at it, like yourself.  My thoughts were
    more that a (rank) beginner could choose a more amenable metal at
    first.
