It could be used for low strain applications I suppose. For bails, ring shanks, etc, one needs the strength of silver solder so the piece will not eventually break apart at the join. Silver soldering is like brazing and changes the molecular structure of the metals allowing the solder to penetrate both pieces being joined and is as strong as the metal it's self I have repaired many rings and pendants that someone had repaired before using a low temp solder and it just doesn't hold up well.

Perfect. I am thankful of that answer. I have looked at silver joints and there is no way to tell where the solder ends and starts. I knew you were not allowed any short cuts in the dang solder department. Deviants not allowed. Now depressed

I'm so glad my shop teacher taught me that, otherwise I never would have thought of it when a chisel wasn't at hand!

when tin solder is used, the piece cannot legally be stamped .925 sterling.

jamesp Of course I used the screwdriver for a chisel. If I'm working sterling I use the SS, otherwise, who cares.

I figured you use a screw driver as a chisel. Deviance is a strength. You would know i do cause the metal is rammed 3 inches up into the handle Radio too. My shop teacher was a bad dude with a paddle he like to use. I have seen chips fly off that thing more than once.

Radio too. My shop teacher was a bad dude with a paddle he like to use. I have seen chips fly off that thing more than once. My shop teacher had one of those with holes drilled in it so air wouldn't slow it down! a "friend" and I packed our lunches and ate in the playground rather than eat in the lunch room. One day it rained so we sneaked thru a window into the woodwork shop. My "friend" decided he didn't like his peanut butter and jelly sandwich, so he squished it in a wood vise. Of course someone saw us crawl through the window, and we were called to stand before the class, bend over and grab the ankles. I wasn't going to rat him out and took the first blows. "Friend" swung forward to avoid the hit. Teacher instantly knew who the real culprit was and that paddle flew!

Only a shop teacher would dream up an aerodynamic paddle. Too funny/too painful.
A time when respect was taught.

Gotta have respect. Easiest way to learn is to humbly respect your teacher. Basic. Program yourself to respect your teachers and the highway of knowledge will fill your brain.
I am to lazy and stupid to buck my teacher.

I remember swats! I was a really rotten kid in school. I wouldn't doubt it if I held some kind of record for swats. Every time I smiled or laughed, I'd get more. It truly was no deterrent for me.

From solder to paddles, yep those aerodynamic paddles sure left an interesting design on the buttocks. The solder could come in handy with some types of art metal projects for a little added reinforcement of mechanical joints.
