Let the solder flow! ;-)
I have been wanting to learn to solder, even though I adore cold connections, there are times when soldering a joint or two pieces together just works better with the design. I tinkered this weekend with the solder, and the constant encouragement of some GREAT talented artists on the Jewelry Artists Network forum and here is the result - my very first sterling sheet ring! (I've done wire rings before..)

If you don't know them already, the two best books I know about metalworking techniques are Oppi Untracht's "Jewelry Concepts and Technology" and "Metal Techniques for Craftsmen".
