3. Agenda Review of last time
Take notes on how to solder safely and correctly

Each of you will solder a ring band

4. Last time We finished and turned in our recycled jewelry
If you did not finish last time you will need to finish during work time today
You will have to still make sure your ring is done and soldered though.
You may have to come in during study hall or after school to finish.

5. Soldering a Ring
Cut the width and length of your ring band from sheet metal.
Make sure the ends of the metal are completely flat
This is required for the ends to be touching so they will solder together.

6. MAKE THEM SIT FLUSH TOGETHER

7. This will not solder!!!!!

8. Add flux to the area you will solder

9. Add solder to area and heat the metal underneath where you have the solder until solder melts

10. Clean up the solder seam so you don’t see it

11. Shape on ring mandrel until rounded

12. Clean up the surface of the ring by buffing and polishing

13. Demonstration
Listen and observe as Mrs. Francesconi makes a ring band.
You will each get a piece of sheet metal
You will each file it clean and bend it so it touches
You will each come up one at a time to solder your ring once you are ready.
You will pass off that you soldered today
Once done you will begin forming and cleaning your ring band.

14. Studio Time Finish your recycled jewelry first if you have not already
Get your ring sheet metal and file it flat
Bend it so it will sit flat together
Line up to solder
If you did not give Mrs. Francesconi your ring size you will have to cut it yourself with a saw
Check your ring size on the chart and cut it to the size needed.
Once done soldering shape and clean your ring band.
