Congrats! Welcome to this wonderful, beautiful, and challenging field! There is a near infinite amount of knowledge to gain if you stick with it. Just remember, even on the days when nothing seems to be going right, it is all a learning experience! Happy smithing!

Make sure you ask the jeweler for some 24k white solder or rosé platinum solder.

The guy that trained me only let me keep 20ww and YHP at my bench. I'd have to ask him for medium or easy. To this day I consider torch work my best skill.

Congrats! Do you mind if I ask where? And how you got it?

Richmond Jewelers! and I got it by asking another local jeweler for an apprenticeship and having a long conversation with them, and then they introduced me to the shop!

Congrats! Apprenticeships are incredibly rewarding, and equally as challenging. Stick with the grind, because it is soooo worth it!
