How to create SPIKES! Soldering - Spiky Jewelry Tutorial SOFT soldering

Well well well.... It was not as smooth as I expected. Spikes and smooth live in two different universes - I should have known!

lol

Anyway, here is my attempt with some ups and downs and trouble shooting.
Very cool.
Very sharp.
Very dangerous to wear! So please be careful.

But they do look very unique and I do get the hype.

In this video we will:

1. Learn about perfect temperature with what we can build our spikes
2. Learn about special soldering iron tip ( I used chiseled one)
3. Learn that spikes could be a pain in the ass to make
4. Learn that they are very brittle if not soldered with at the right temperature
5. Learn how to mitigate fragility of the spikes
6. Attempt creating beads
7. Figure out iron setting and technique to make beads and spikes and soldering texture


I hope I inspired to make something cool. If you are going to create spikes, please make sure to file them with some sand paper or dremel or both.

Here is the list of supplies and materials I used in this video.
Every product and tool is tested and loved by me. These are the best soldering tools ;)
