THE REAL FRUSTRATION
You're going in circles
You're stuck on a soldering problem. You've tried it multiple times. Same result.
You've asked in forums. Got the generic checklist: "Is the metal clean? Is it hot enough? Are the joints flush?"
YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT!
But you still can't see what YOU'RE doing wrong.


THE PROBLEM DEEPENS
Maybe you've taken workshops or courses where it worked.
Maybe you've watched tutorials and understand the principles. Maybe you've been practicing for months.
But this specific problem keeps defeating you—and you're tired of wasting time when the solution could be quick.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN
Not just for this one problem.
For any foundational soldering challenge.
I watch you work via Zoom with your handheld torch at your home bench.
I spot what's wrong in Real-Time
I teach you troubleshooting skills to solve it yourself
That's skill transfer—not just fixing one piece.

How it Works
Real-time video diagnosis via Zoom where I watch you work with your handheld torch at your home bench
In each session, we troubleshoot your specific foundational problem—whether it's one issue or three, we work on the actual techniques that are defeating you, so every solution is immediately applicable.
For home-based makers with handheld torches working on foundational techniques (1-3 solder joins).
Now I have a foundation of jewellery making skills that I thought were out of reach, and the independence to problem-solve and finish my pieces without getting stuck. 'Liz M'

Three Packages Based on Problem Intricacy
Discovery Call Determines Which Fits
The number of sessions you need depends on the intricacy of your problem, not arbitrary package tiers.
Some problems are straightforward and can be solved in one 90-minute session. Others are more complex and require multiple sessions to address properly.
In each session, we troubleshoot your specific foundational problem—whether it's one issue or three, we work on the actual techniques that are defeating you, so every solution is immediately applicable.
That's why we start with a 15-minute strategy call where I ask specific questions about:
What you're trying to make
Where it goes wrong
What you've already tried
Your equipment and setup
Based on that conversation, I'll recommend which package serves your specific situation—and you decide if it feels right.



Working with Linda is like having a soldering coach who actually understands what’s going wrong and how to fix it.

You Understand the Principles
Forums Can't See What You're Doing
When you ask in forums:
-
You know metal needs to be clean
-
You know joints need to be flush
-
You know heat needs to be even
-
You know the right solder to use
-
They can't see your torch angle
-
They can't see if there are gaps you're missing
-
They can't see your heat distribution
-
They can only guess based on text
BUT KNOWING PRINCIPLES AND SEEING WHAT'S WRONG ARE DIFFERENT SKILLS
THAT'S WHY YOU KEEP GETTING THE SAME CHECKLIST THAT DOESN'T HELP.

“You encouraged me to do it again, not because I failed, but because now I knew what to change.
That’s what made the difference!

The 1:1 sessions and between session support allowed me to problem solve and refine the methods I used specific to my own modest set-up.
