Simple and clean. Thank you Andrew.

Very useful videos, thanks Andrew! I watch them very often, you are my 'go to guy'! 😉

Such brilliant instruction. A master. Thank you.

Thank You, I have learned a lot from you, Andrew, you are the best!

thank you Andrew, helped me alot today

Another great video! I learn so much from you.

The more I watch soldering the more I pickup good info.

Informative and sentimental video. Happy Anniversary to you and your lovely bride! 💕🥂🍾

Thanks, you solved my problem within 3 min of your video. Saw off the old bezel and file it down. I am a beader I found a lovely pendant for my niece and I want to bezel it in seed beads (Native American and I love to bead) a long with making a beaded rope for it. Playing the video until the end so you get credit for the algorithm, liked and subscribed.

Good information. Thank you.

Thanks for the video, learned a lot from you, best teacher

So super tutorial thank you

always perfect

A vid on doing this on a pendant which has a cab or gemstone would be great.

Thank you fore shering is perfect .

Thank you

another excellent video, what kind of polish did you use at the end?

Soldering is a simple techniques to understand but its how you apply those principles to the job in hand that makes you a master.

lovely.

hi can you tell me what all items you use ....I thank you for the videos ...

Thank you. How do you go about replacing the jump ring when there is a stone present? Regards Dave

Thank you once again Andrew! I look forward so much to these. I remember your use of these brushes; what polish did you use if I may ask?

I'd like to know the polish you used as well ............

I didn't realise how bad some jewellers are at certain things, until I started watching your videos & saw how just how good you are! ☺☺☺

Is that the 3" or 5" piercing saw? and What would you recommend for earing posts for silver sensitive?

what kind of acid you use?Thanks.

Which electronic gauge you used to measure the thickness of the wires could you please let me know?

another idea: you could strategically use fine silver for the bigger ring, sterling for the tiny ring, so that the harder sterling is more likely to wear on the thicker fine silver ring. then it’s easier to replace the only big ring eventually and not have to refinish the entire piece when u repair it. plus the big ring, if it’s fine silver will less likely add wear and scratches to your chain. another plus

taking a chance... do you have a tutorial on how to ben a top loop on a pendant from 90degrees to 180? done want to just put pliers to it unless it is the ring thing to do.

Do you have any advice on how to do that with a cabochon without damaging the stone?

Very nicely done. You truly know your craft. Is soapy water enough to remove excess flux also or do you need the acid u speak of? Thanks

Peter Ford you just need hot water to remove flux, hot like pickle in a crockpot. the acid in the pickle removes the oxidation, the heat removes the flux

what type of saw is that? i need to remove some hoops off pendants for a craft

where in the US can I get these white nylon brushes? Thank you!

Thank you!! Your tutorials are fantastic and thorough. I'm sort of anxious to buy the basics and give it a try. Is there a situation, where it is possible to melt the solder just by putting the flame on the third hand only? Thanks!

@@Atthebench Sorry... let me re-word my question. Is it possible to melt the solder and also bond 2 pieces of silver without applying a flame to the silver itself? In other words, could you get it hot enough to solder/bond (via heat transfer) by applying the flame only to the 3rd hand and not to where the silver metal pieces join? IF you can do it that way, are there certain circumstances where it should be done that way (like with softer stones, maybe)? Thank you so much for responding.

tammygurl64 No that is not possible on that sort of scale. You can do it with a soldering pick. I will put a film live in a day or so

Try smearing graphite (like B2 pencil or softer) on areas where you dont want solder to go, i use it a lot making my jewelry

How would you go about doing this job with a stone in it?

Andrew I always love the projects you do and all I learn from you!! I do have a QUESTION please: when you complete the solder I hear you then say your popping the piece into the safety pickle. Do you not first quench the piece in water and the pickle is it just warmed Sparex2? Again thank you for the time and knowledge you share with us. Your so appreciated!!!

@Atthebench

I just wait until the piece has cooled slightly. Then I just drop it straight away into the safety pickle. I don’t have time to quench in water and then drop it into the pickle and wait for it to do its job.

@@Atthebench thank you so much for responding. This is going to sound funny but your response had me jumping up and down!! Your a bit of a celebrity in my home 😁 I seen you answered my question and I couldn't help jump up and down yelling "Andrew Berry answered me.. I am talking to Andrew Berry!!!" Scared the dog and everyone else...😂 Thank you so so much for the response and for making my day!!

Can you put something to long in the acid? And what happens if you do?

I have a stainless steel locket with some of my Dad's ashes in and the ring is very worn. Is it possible to fix it like you have with it being stainless?

Where can I buy a top loop like that?

What kind of saw is that

Great video. But I can't understand the process of making the " jumber ". Why you twist the silver cable once and a half, then you cut the half? Isn't that a waste?

It helps ensure you get a nicely shaped jump ring. The small bit can all ways be collected and sent back for refining to recover any lost money from the small bits. This should be done with all precious metals. They can be expensive and recovering your scrap hes ensure you are not wasting money.

When you soldered the jump ring (16.06 approx) did you say "Bob's your uncle" ? What does that mean?

I have a pendant I had custom made its no longer straight ND idk why this has happen its 925. Sliver it's the same logo as in my pic LSD RECORDS the S & L have bent as well as the word records under it how do I get it to be straight again

I have a glass/crystal teardrop lazered inside pendant. The glued top broke and can't stay on my necklace Help please what can I do? This pendant is very dear to me, my late husband gave it to me.

why aren’t you protecting the whole piece from firescale? and why not use a thicker jump ring so it lasts longer? just a thought. if the two rings are of a similar gauge (and same material) the wear should be less.

Sorry to sound thick but what is a buff stick

Could i use small pliers to lightly squeeze the end loop of my 2mm chain so that it will pass through the bail of a pendant i have or is that not a good idea, the chain and pendant are 10kt gold??
