That pretty much just got him back to what he had with a light tent... one of the white needs boards to be black or at least a black strip on it.

That and glass/crystal!
With shiny metals you are not photographing the object really, you are shooting what they reflect. And so as mentioned above, you need to experiment with lighting position, angle and strength.

and the tutorial didn't have a light tent, just one reflecting panel for each side. Of course the gist of the tutorial is what everyone else has said here, and that's what's reflected is what's captured, not the color, size or method. So, it's a matter of determining what you want in the reflection.

you bet, those tutorials while simple, have quite a bit in terms of depth. I re-watch them periodically....
