Tips, Tools, Cudos:
I Just opened the JewelryMonk Studio and Training Center, BUT
I haven’t forgotten those of you who are not so close to SD, and that is why I Just re-released a Comprehensive video series, where, I have taken my years of jewelry experience, and simply and thoroughly developed a step by step video tutorial that covers the whole process of fabricating and soldering a piece of jewelry from the drawing, to final polishing.   It is called The Fabricated Pendant Project and I walk you through , In Video Form, every step from sketch to finished design.

The Program has 19 videos that covers this process, as well as over 25 bonus videos along with it, literally hours and hours of content.
Every podcast, I like to find people or companies that are doing it “right”, seeing past their situation and giving to something larger than themselves.

I really enjoy sharing entertaining, encouraging, and educational content to anyone that is willing to listen, and has the heart of a learner.

But probably the most important thing you can do…… go to JewelryMonk.com and subscribe to the website, then you will be notified whenever I put out a new podcast, or better yet, a new video or tutorial on the website.
As always…… tell a friend about the JewelryMonk podcast and website. It would be soooo appreciated.

Featuring: 
The Tailored Faith Company is a local Black Hills Company that just launched a new website. Inspirational Designs and Giving Back
Check Jasmine’s journey out at www.Tailoredfaithco.com
Also Featuring:
The Will-Hold Adjustable Soldering Aide
It is an adjustable soldering pick on a magnetic ball. You put it where you need it, and it stays every time. You can adjust the tension with the push of a finger, and it stays put! The tip is tungsten as well, so solder won’t stick to it. He is backed up a little with production, but if you go to his website, you can get on the next pre-order list, which is just a week or two out.
