[how it's made] Octopus Shadowbox Ring - Metalsmithing process + sweat soldering tip

In this video, I make a ring with one of my favorite animals - the octopus! I also share a sweat soldering tip that may be helpful when soldering thin/detailed pieces. I was really sick when filming this so I don't talk much! Apologies.
