1
Sometimes I really want to say no to a job.
2
This was one of those times.
3
The customer asked me straight up if I wanted to do it, and honestly, I told him no. So I quoted him $2,000 hoping he'd walk, but he didn't even flinch.
4
It's his wedding band.
5
Decades old, but hasn't been on his hand in over 10 years.
6
It needed to go up two full sizes.
7
Anyone can do that.
8
The problem was he wanted it seamless.
9
He didn't even think it was possible until one of my videos showed up in his feed.
10
That's when he decided I'm the guy for the job.
11
Normally I'm happy to carve a design from solid metal, But the braids on this ring are so open and full of voids that carving would never match.
12
So I cut the ring, stretched it open, and soldered in a solid block of white gold.
13
Then I spent an hour carving out a flat section before I even touched any wires.
14
Some jewelers spend their entire careers doing wire work, but I ain't one of them.
15
This was uncharted territory for me.
16
I spun up the twists in a power drill.
17
It went pretty smooth, but the braids took much thicker wire.
18
I held them in place with a vise, bent them with pliers, and hammered down each one to get them as tight as possible.
19
Then I sent it through the rolling mill, curved it in my ring bender, and spent a while figuring out where to cut it so it lines up evenly.
20
Oh, and these are all my failed attempts.
21
Real gold, by the way.
22
I placed them in and laser welded the three sections from the top.
23
The laser does a great job, but I still need solder to fill in the hard-to-reach crevices.
24
So I coated everything with whiteout.
25
It acts as a heat shield thanks to the titanium dioxide.
26
Now the solder has nowhere else to go but down into the gaps.
27
All that was left was cleaning up the welds, trimming the side rails, and polishing the ring inside and out.
28
The ultrasonic gets rid of the demon energy.
29
Standard procedure.
30
Even though I never wanted this job, I got to learn something new, and I'm pretty thrilled that the seams are about as invisible as they can get.
31
The ring's sitting right at 11 and 3 quarters now, and it better fit perfectly, because I do not want to do this again.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
