WHAT YOU NEED TO SET-UP A JEWELRY SOLDERING STATION AT HOME
Solder - easy (also called soft), medium, and hard are three of the most used types
Flux
Thin paint brush
Container of water
Fire brick or compressed charcoal block
Copper tweezers
Pickle solution in a little crock-pot to keep it warm
Torch
Ceramic tile
Overhead light
1. Set the ceramic tile in the middle of your work area.
2. On top of the tile, set the fire brick or compressed charcoal block
3. To one side, set the water, paint brush, copper tweezers, pickle solution, flux, and solder.
4. On the other side, set up your torch
5. Set the over head light so that it shines over the brick and tile.
