It can get pretty hectic with deadlines and life going on at the same time. So I went ahead and just gave away tons of info I really appreciate everyone joining. After Valentine's season I want to really find time to sit down and make more classes. Power to the jewelry.

You really have to be honest sometimes when you learn something new. Along with my brother also teaching me about this substitute for the sparex pickle solution. I tried it over the weekend and got exceptionally good results to my clean metals before and after welding. Thank you to the new two members. We're now at 20 and into one of the greatest jewelry seasons, "Valentine's Day". For this I've been working on a heart ring. I'll show later on.

(Do you guys accept credit cards?) ummm 🤔 hmmmm we can take cashapp? Welcome new member btw, here's proof that I'm making money on repairs. I make jewelry when I'm not repairing it and I also buy and sell it. I can definitely make more buying and selling, but repairing it builds relationships with customers and provides a different sense of fulfillment and a service to others. I love making jewelry, fixing it, restoring it, and reselling it. I offer cleaning when I know it can look better and that pays off in the long run too. This is also a great way to be a more legitimate business and move towards even getting business loans which I'm still working my way to myself for the first time.

I plan on going over the curriculum, steps, and the classes that I've constructed and releasing free information and just going to charge for the laser welding classes. So thanks everyone who stayed long enough for me to grow and build this community that I won't give up on. When I first started this skool community I had no service and was going through a strange chain of events that have changed my life forever spiritually. I haven't made any money off of here but my repairs, good investments, and motivation are paying off. I look forward to sharing high detail tips and steps to provide the highest quality of service available to your customers.

This metal is beyond weird. Sometimes I think it's not from this planet. Either way it has become one of the highest commodities to mankind. I've seen ancient cups and surgical rods weighing up to 5 ounces. It's a very dense metal and weighs more than it looks or it's volume. If you have a laser welder then you already won in repairing platinum jewelry. In the laser, this metal is moved around like butter due to its density and poor reflection. With a torch, you'll need special equipment to work on platinum meaning special eye gear since it turns into a star before melting point at extreme heat. Special solder, polishing compounds, and wheels. Your drawer must be spotless before starting to work on it, it can be contaminated with other metals as well so it's in its entirely own ball game. So history goes like this, gold used to be cheaper than platinum meaning every kind of platinum repair was instantly charged more because of the great difference in price, Platinum was around 2k and gold was under 1k, so you see the confusion nowadays. Here lately we've experienced a spike in platinum like I've never before see. Keep in mind that our rhodium flash we use to electroplate white gold is derived from this metal which increases its price even higher.
