PROJECT 11 4: SOLDER THE


TUBES Support the box on its side with the groove uppermost on your soldering table. Place the 5mm silver tube in the groove, add a little fl ux and a small piece of cut easy solder. Using the soldering probe coax the solder to help solder the tube into place on the lid only. Allow to cool and pickle till clean. Separate the two halves of the box, rinse and dry. Repeat the whole process this time soldering the main body. If you have not overheated the work or applied too much fl ux the two halves should separate after pickling.

5: MAKE THE BAIL Form a small ring from 0.6mm silver sheet using pliers. Slightly fl atten and fi le it to a pleasing taper and solder the join.


Open a jump ring of 1mm wire into a horseshoe shape. These will act as the links to the chain.

Paint the box base with Argo-tect inside and out to protect surfaces from fi re stain. Using the third hand to hold the links in place, solder the horse shoe link onto the box body using easy solder. Leave the other part of the link loosely attached. Be careful not to solder the two parts of the link together, a little of the rouge paste could help to keep them apart.
