Hello! My name is Chad Parker, and I am a long-time jewelry silversmith. If you are interested in learning a new hobby that pays for itself, or want to create a lucrative business, this channel is a great resource. Silversmithing has been a money maker for me. Here: find great content related to silversmithing, including project videos, tips, techniques, information on gemstones, and other content for makers. I often get people who do beading or wire-wrap who are ready to try to learn to use a torch. Two of the strengths that I bring to my instruction are my soldering skills, and my 30+ years as an educator. One of the joys about this is that everyone finds their own best way to do things when metalsmithing. I hear great ideas from other makers that I absolutely never thought of. I love sharing ideas, techniques, and tips. I welcome comments, video ideas, and people sharing their methods. I try to answer all comments!
