Karen,

    I have two of his books and they have become my "bibles" and
    essential references when working with metals.  Definitely the best
    money I ever spent. 

    Being self-taught, make that one who learns by reading and just
    doing, often leaves me desiring more knowledge about the use of a
    torch.  I can heat stuff up and generally produce more than adequate
    joints and seams. However, my knowledge about the proper flame
    atmosphere for various metals is sorely lacking.  Many times I find
    my torch techniques, although effective, to be rude and crude. 

    I would appreciate any thoughts you, or other Orchidians, might have
    concerning books or videos that deal with the finer points of
    soldering and brazing jewelry items. 

Respectfully,

J. Russell
