Soldering is the gateway skill that unlocks design freedom
I specialise exclusively in handheld torch soldering troubleshooting through personalised 1:1 diagnosis so you finally understand what's going wrong with YOUR setup and how to fix it
but it's also where most self-taught makers get stuck, especially when working from home with handheld torches.
You've Already Tried Everything Available
You've watched YouTube tutorials from experienced teachers. You've followed Instagram tips from successful makers.
You've asked in Facebook groups and maybe even invested in online courses or membership programmes.
AND YOU ARE STILL STUCK WITH SOLDERING
Not because you're not trying hard enough. Not because those resources are inadequate... they're excellent.
But because general instruction (whether free videos or online paid courses) can't see what YOU'RE doing wrong with YOUR handheld torch setup in real-time.
THAT'S THE GAP BETWEEN LEARNING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
You've done the learning.
What you need now is diagnostic troubleshooting. Someone who can look at YOUR specific problem, with YOUR specific equipment, and identify exactly what's going wrong. That's my specialty.
THAT'S MY SPECIALTY
Why Handheld Torch Technique Is Different
Here's something most tutorials don't explain:
handheld butane torches work differently than professional jeweller's torches. Not better or worse—just different.
You've watched excellent tutorials. You've practiced diligently. You've followed all the advice. So why hasn't it translated to consistent results?
Here's what's happening:
Whether a tutorial uses professional or handheld torches, general instruction can't address the specific variables in YOUR setup, your torch model, your flame adjustment, your workspace conditions, your technique adaptations.
The technical differences matter:
Professional torches (in some tutorials):
-
Larger flame spread
-
Higher BTU output
-
Different heat control
Handheld torches (what you use at home):
-
Smaller, more focused flame
-
Different heat characteristics
-
Requires adapted technique
Your home insurance
-
won't allow professional torch systems anyway so you need technique designed for handheld torches from the ground up.
I've spent 15 years figuring out those adaptations so you don't have to spend years doing trial-and-error. You get handheld torch expertise that translates general instruction into techniques that actually work with your setup.
Why Soldering Is THE Skill That Changes Everything
I specialise exclusively in soldering, not because the other techniques don't matter, but
because soldering is the gateway skill that unlocks everything else in jewellery making.
WITHOUT SOLDERING,
you're limited to:
WIRE WRAPPING
BEAD STRINGING
COLD CONNECTIONS
PRE-MADE COMPONANTS
WITH SOLDERING:
CREATE CUSTOM BEZELS FOR STONES
BUILD RINGS FROM SCRATCH
CONNECT MULTIPLE ELEMENTS SEAMLESSLY
BRING ANY CREATIVE VISION TO LIFE
Once you master soldering, that ceiling disappears.You can design without limitations, progress to advanced techniques, and finally create the pieces that made you want to learn jewellery making in the first place.

MEET LINDA
Hi, I'm Linda, I help self-taught jewellery makers in the early stages master soldering with handheld torches—the gateway skill that unlocks design freedom.
After 15 years of teaching jewellery making, I realized something crucial: Most self-taught makers don't need to learn everything at once—they need to master the ONE skill that's blocking them from everything else.
That skill is soldering.
I've spent over a decade mastering how to get professional results from handheld torches, and I've developed a diagnostic approach that identifies exactly what's going wrong with YOUR setup, YOUR torch, YOUR technique.
Why Personalised Diagnosis Changes Everything
Real-Time Troubleshooting
I watch YOU solder and identify what's going wrong in the moment—not weeks later after you describe it in a forum post.
Handheld Torch Specialty
I've spent 15 years mastering handheld torch technique specifically. Every tip, every adjustment, every diagnostic approach is adapted for YOUR equipment.
Work on YOUR Piece
In the 90 minute session, we don't practice on generic projects we troubleshoot the actual piece that's been defeating you, so the solution is immediately applicable.
Professional Diagnostic Skills
I teach you the troubleshooting framework that usually takes years to develop through trial and error so you can fix problems yourself going forward.
Working with Linda is like having a soldering coach who actually understands what’s going wrong and how to fix it.

This is for you if...
This is NOT for you if...
You're self-taught and in the early stages of learning jewellery making
You've already mastered soldering and just need advanced refinement
You work from home using a handheld torch (due to home insurance constraints)
You use professional-grade equipment
You've watched tutorials and maybe taken courses
You prefer learning independently through trial-and-error and building troubleshooting skills gradually over time
Soldering still defeats you or remains inconsistent
You prefer learning through pre-recorded courses rather than 1:1 coaching
You have at least one specific recurring problem
You're ready for personalized diagnosis
You want to learn multiple jewellery techniques at once (I specialise in soldering only)
What's possible when you master soldering
Right now, your jewellery designs are limited by what you can achieve without soldering. You're stuck making variations of the same basic pieces.
But look at what becomes possible once you master this gateway skill:
Successful home-based jewellery makers, the ones you see on Instagram with thriving businesses and engaged followings, all had to master soldering first.
They started exactly where you are: Self-taught, working from home, learning to solder with handheld torches, frustrated with inconsistent results.
The difference? They mastered the gateway skill that unlocked design freedom.
This is what's waiting for you once you master the technique that's currently holding you back.
