Solder not flowing?

Solder not flowing?

Beginner silversmith here, looking for encouragement not judgement, still have a lot to learn! I am aware I have too much solder here, I’m experimenting with this piece. These solder pieces are not melting no matter what. I’ve cleaned the metal, and whatnot, how would you trouble shoot this

Filing tools

Can I get some suggestions on some filing tools, silicone wheels, anything that’s good to clean up my bezel cups? What I’m using right now just seems a bit aggressive. I need links because I feel like some things are a poorly made/ waste of money. Some stuff to remove metal after sawing out my bezel and some to make it clean. Also what grits do you all prefer. I love my rotary tool so ideally bits for that

How was last weekend for non campers ? My friend and I have tickets to Day 3 of Brandi.

My friend and I are getting nervous about attending the gorge this weekend. We are flying in and this concert it apart of our itinerary. We only have tickets for day 3 and are not camping. Anyone have some insight on what it was like for non campers. I see Friday & early Saturday were just egregious for you all & I know damn well I don’t wanna spend my vacation in traffic for 12+ hours. Anything is helpful! This is our first time at the Gorge
