You gals go for it!!!!
Did either of you try raising your torch as Claudia suggested??
It made a huge difference for me. It gives you more space between the benchtop and the underneath side of the flame.
I tell you something else I did that helped.
I set the iPad right beside my torch.
I prepared a cold lentil bead on a mandrel.
I prepared some stringers.
With NO FLAME ON, I watched Claudia for a little bit.
Stopped the video, positioned my hands just like hers and mimicked her motions with stringer and mandrel.
I think it is really important that your hands work in tandem.
And that you get a feel for the finger positions of each hand.
I have a tendency to hold my stringer like a pencil.
I have to deliberately make my hands do something different.
I am determined!!!!
