Hi (Name),
Take a moment.
Think about that thing you know how to do really well. Maybe it's wire jewelry, but maybe it's that secret way home that avoids all the traffic.
Maybe it's that recipe handed down through the family that you added your own little something to, and now everyone wants to taste it when they come over for family gatherings.
Maybe it's the amazing luck you seem to have at cribbage or sudoku, because of how much you've played it. (My friends swear I cheat at cribbage, but I'm just great at choosing cards!)
Whatever it is, it's something you've become so good at, over years of practice, experience, failed experiments, and perseverance, that you've found your own way of doing things, and it's the best way anyone's ever thought of doing it. Your methods are as worn in and perfect for the task as a pair of loved leather gloves.
That's what I thought of when I watched Patti Bullard as she filmed the Metalworking 101 Beginner Series here with us. She used the perfect tool for each move, gliding through the projects effortlessly, explaining each step as she went. She moved through cleaning, soldering, quenching the metal, shining it up with her brass brush, getting the perfect finish.
I've looked up to Patti not only as an impressive jewelry artist, but as such an uplifting personality, for quite a long time now. And she's as friendly and helpful and sweet on the DVD as she is in person. I couldn't believe how doable she made everything.
Patti's shared all her beginner Metalworking secrets on this DVD set, from what specific pliers she uses to the solder to her patina and finishing tricks.
She's got some unconventional tricks, like a weird little use for a stamping set, and how to get that groove at the end of an earring post, that you'll be telling all your friends about her techniques.
It seems like everybody's talking about Metalworking and Soldering these days. Don't miss out on your chance to learn to solder silver and copper from the best. Patti will give you the confidence and the contagious excitement that will have you raring to start your first soldering project!
You may be familiar with Patti's short, basic projects on YouTube - unlike those videos, these DVDs are shot in High-Definition, and they come with complete tool lists, and follow-up directions.
And Patti goes into much more detail into tips, uses, safety, and more in these DVDs than you've ever seen. These DVDs are a great reference even after you've mastered soldering - so careful when loaning to friends! You might have to ask to get them back!
