I'm a structural welder of ships, tanks and everything else. This was fascinating. I speak in much the same way to my rookie coworkers about details and quality. Nice job. You're magnificent!.
Great video on jump ring soldering. Thank you Andrew. Always my go to when I need to look up something in detail. Thank you also for your live sessions.
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been making jewelry for 15 years or so. Mostly self taught, I’ve taken a few courses. I so appreciate your common sense approach based on your experience. Your methods are solid and you’re blessed as an instructor. Thank you again; I’m most grateful I’ve found your channel.🙂
your instructions is beautiful. You are clear and fantastic. Thank you for your knowledge. I look forward to many more videos.
Truly Fabulous!
I’m a female art welder (steel with a MIG) but I’m getting into jewelry making. I really appreciate your clear, thorough and precise instructions on soldering. I’m a new sub and will be watching your other videos! Many thanks.
Extremely helpful, thank you Andrew.
Wow, I'm a new jewellery maker and this takes my skills to another level. Thanks!
Fantastic videos. Learned my trade from these. Great instruction.Technically exceptional.
Yes, your instructions are very easy to follow and very helpfull. Thank you.
Such an excellent video, Andrew. Thanks
Out of all the nice tutorials on youtube I like listening to you the best. Your easy manner, UK accent and handy tips make it a delight. Some people on here it's like listening to paint dry.
OH MY GOSH YOU ARE SOOOOOOO CORRECT.....THE WOMEN LIKE TO CHAT!
Lol I thought most of them sounded like they need to blow their nose..
nice when people speak naturally and are not trying to sound like a gadget commercial.
I've done a lot of this type of thing with copper jewelry and I've got to say that your information is rock solid....
Thanks Andrew! Another informative tutorial!!
THANK U!!! I'm just about to get into soldering sterling & I really appreciate your videos. Thank u so much! Definitely subscribed & a big thumbs up! 👍😘
Thank you Andrew! Happy Holidays! Happy 2023!
Beautifully explained. Thank you so much!
Very nice, I wish I were still manufacturing jewelry, it was so fulfilling! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill.
Thank you very much! I also think there's a paucity of information on soldering on RUclips, and also in general. I've made my own mokume-game in a forge, I've got about 15 years of hobby blacksmithing experience but I've never been able to silver solder because people don't tell you the specific temperature ranges, required atmospheric conditions, cooling rates, etc. They just say "apply the flux, and heat till the solder melts". So thank you.
Excellent tutorial, Andrew! I'm a beginner and everything you teach is very educational and informative. Thanks again!
Wow! Thanks so much Andew for such a detailed instructions. Now I'm much more confident to start soldering!
That is...far less complicated than I thought it would be! And it's explained so well!
Llll

For real. Great video for quick info on exactly what I was looking for. Good job!
Love the way he teaches 😘thanks. 👍
you make this look so easy ... love it ... thank you ... awesome CHANNEL >> >Thank you for teach me !
Excellent video - exactly what I was searching for.
Thanks for the film Andrew. I understand a lot more about solders now. Best to have everything at hand, in case needed, but try and stick to the best quality possible.
Thank you for listing the equipment you used for the vlog. Would it be possible to also list the equipment you used for the soldering? That would be super helpful. Some of us are beginners and not so well versed on some of the terms mentioned, so it's hard to figure out what specifically is used, the soldering machine for example, which kind is it? Is it a gun or a fire machine? The stuff used to clean the jump rings, I tried to catch the names and write them down when mentioned, but still missed them... super helpful to have the relevant stuff listed as well. Thanks.
Excellent and cleared tutorial steps on how to soldered chains, thank you appreciated 😀

wow impressive details. best ever
Thank you so much for this video. I feel well informed now. Just going to start connecting jump rings for my bracelets and wire wrapping pieces. Buying equipment slowly. Thank you. Kim South Africa
Thank you for sharing the basics
Just brilliant you explain really really well thank you so much.
Awesome video! Thank you.
Well done! Very thorough!
Thank you for this video Andrew. Excellent tips & well explained! I especially appreciate the demonstration on filing & sanding the rings to clean them! I feel silly asking this, but I've had a terrible time trying to get a good join on smaller gauge jump rings. No matter what I do, I can't get the seam butted up perfectly. Any tips on how I can do that with 20 gauge & smaller wire jump rings? Thank you!
Very good tutorial! I learned a bunch! Thank you.

This was an awesome video. Thanks!
Dear Mr Berry, thanks for all your amazingly instructive videos. I am re-watching a couple and doing some notes on them for my next project, it has been very helpful. So far most of my doubts have been answered but I am left wondering what would be the best way to solder a piece of chain onto a bigger piece of metal. If you would talk about it in any of your videos I would be certainly interested in hearing about your ideas... Just saying ;D
Thanks again for sharing all this knowledge!
These best videos I've come across.
Very helpful video. I was wondering why my paste solders don't work well for larger areas--thanks; I'll keep them for small tasks like jump rings.
Excellent information, thanks Brotato chip.
thank you for this tutorial I have learned so much from it.
What a nice tutorial thank you!
Thank you @andrewberryuk ! Very timely as I am soldering earrings with jump rings today! ;-) xoxoxo
Great tutorial, thanks ❤
Why is there a list of camera equipment but not the solder equipment?
🤣🤣🤣
The other day my girlfriend asked me what a homesteader is. I told her it's a type of youtuber. It's the society of the spectacle. The point of doing a thing is to be seen as someone who does that thing. The spectacle is always primary.
So that folks can buy those things if they'd like. He might also get commission for them
Also if u dona little Google search for"jewelry soldering kit" you'll find everything you need
Cheers on the video.. thanks it was excellent tips
Great video! You give such understandable directions and show why you do what you're supposed to. I see I'm wrong in buying a soldering iron first before watching soldering for jewelry (or jewellery for the U.K.) or crafts.

Man great videos lol Everytime your face pops up on the recommended videos I get hooked. Time to subscribe lol
Thank you for sharing, I've been looking for a decent tutorial for a while.
Do you have one for 316L jump rings?
Thank you. It's been a long time since class. What should I buy for pickle ♥
good tips for a beginner.... thank you
Great video!!!
Thank you so much for your Way shering is wonderful.
Well Done! Liked/Subscribed!
Very informative! Is there any way you could link the soldering products you used? Do you have any videos or suggestions for soldering gold jump rings?
Hello from a beautiful sunny morning in Florida! I really appreciate your careful methodology and standard of excellence, especially in your beginners' tutorials. Bad habits formed early can be hardest to break. I'd prefer not to cut corners in my own work, especially if I don't know I'm doing it and have to learn that later for myself the hard way. You make an engaging instructor. It's rare to find someone knowledgeable and gifted in their field who can so clearly and interestingly articulate what things need to be done and why. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Subscribed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge here on RUclips. Very best wishes for the continuing success of this channel.

Thank you sir!
Sometimes I feel like I’m really winning and lately Iv been feeling like a damn winner!
I do like your tutorials, you are an excellent instructor. Would you recommend practicing my soldering on copper & copper wire? Silver is so expensive. The problem with using uother metals is the different melting point tho, so what is closest metal to silver to use as far as amount of heat/time necessary to solder?
This was excellent -- so clear and helpful. Thank you so much. Can you please explain what the borax is for? Is this the same as flux? Also, I know that flux is critical, but I'm not sure just what it does. If you could help me through these questions I'd be very grateful. I'm interested in getting enough information together to do backless bevels on ceramic pieces. Thank you again!
This speaks to what I'm presently doing, making a chain, using third hand, good to learn to heat third hand which I hadn't thought of. Wondered why that solder would slide down.
I'm pick soldering and heating pick. I've got it working with easy solder. I use too much solder out of fear, so my chain now needs hand finishing/cleanup. Only melted a few, but not lately. My links are random size: long, short, plate, wire. I like it. Have stone in bezel ready when chain complete. Meanwhile finishing a novel.
Omg, you sound like me, I've just finished making 2000 5mm 316 jumprings, now I have to start coiling 6000 4mm ready to connect then solder.. And I'm in the middle of a series of 7 novels lol the jewelry is taking priority tho..
Brilliant - Thank you
Thank you so much i have much learning thank you
I'm always amazed that the blow from the torch doesn't push the solder off the piece. it seems so delicate.
When I first started smithing I used wire solder. I started using sheet and stopped using wire. I don't like it. I have no experience with paste. Always used borax though. It makes a nice red glass, too!good video!
Hi, your video is great! But I have question here: I have just done an delicate pendant tonight, but got to make an delicate neck chain to match it. How to control the small jump ring not to be melt easily when I’m soldering?
Hi - Im in need of a way to seal some decorative metal strips around strips of 3mm acrylic, my first idea was to carefully solder the back to seal/stop sharp edges as there will be no weight or ware on the area its just to hold shut in a neat way - but im worried about the heat melting the acrylic & if perhaps theres a better way to do this ? many thanks for any suggestions, Sammy
Thanks for sharing 😊😌
Would you advise soldering for bead and wire jewelry? I‘m not a fan of wire wrapping, but it keeps my loops and connections closed and secure. I like the clean and light look of soldered rings, and i am hoping it is possible to solder without damaging my beads.
Hi Andrew! im fr argentina and im really happy i found this tutorials!! very well explained! I have a question.. could you please tell me the brand of the torches? in other video you showed two, a smaller and a bigger one, could you please tell me the brand or the specifications? cause i ll buy it at amazon or try to find here in buenos aires, and would love to know what to buy so i dont pick the wrong one..thx!!!! Veronica
that is good video. thank you.
Thanks for your generosity i n sharing your expertise! Thats great! (;
love your videos you are a good teacher. what would be the best way to polish that when your finish making a chain out of jump rings
Thin jumpings, then I would use a brass brush with soapy water. Larger rings, then I would use a flex shaft.
I am interested in your idea of the prestolight tourch for general silversmithing rings.
thanks for the video, is this just a creme brulee butane gas torch?
Can I use the same techniques to solder for example Cuban chains, belchers or any other chains please? Excellent video.
Hi Andrew, I am having problems soldering jump rings that are connecting enamelled elements, do you have any tips to protect the enamel when soldering the jump ring? Great video, thanks :)
great video, is the process the same for gold ?
Very helpful!
I just bought the dremel solder tool. I was told to use lead free rosin core solder and liquid soldering flux. Then to put the flux on the joint and heat the tool put the tip to the solder then apply to the joint.....Love the tip on cleaning the joints. But no one mentioned using borax and pickle solution.....do I need it for this type of soldering? Thanks ahead! Susita
Have you done a video on using channel wire or regular wire for making open ring bezels with connectors on each end for a necklace of linked rose cut gems? Thank you Andrew!
Hi Andrew, thanks for a really good series. I am battling with soldering and I would want to know what solder you use I tried Easy, Hard solder (flat strips) but I have to heat the piece till the borax is black and then it still wont melt the solder. I am at my wits end a bit.
Hi
Great videos!
Do u have a silver repair of pocket watch case?
Hinges but a hole cover from key wind
Need to close one for a front wind re-cased verge silver is .800
Thanks
What do you recommend for rose gold filled and gold filled jump rings?
Hi, thank you so much for video. Can I ask, how to clean black color from silver after soldering? May be you have some video about it?
Excellent sir...I have made a lot of chain mail jewelry like Byzantine and Persian styles but I did not solder...so my hard work is coming undone, should I take it all apart and start again, or can I solder the pieces while on the chain? Thank u sir.
Do you have any recommendations for fixing aluminium in rings? thanks!
Your education is very much appreciated. I have questions regarding Borax, is it used in place of flux? Is it a special Borax or the same Borax used for cleaning, that can be purchased at a regular grocery store? Thank you much!
nah just the stuff like for laundry, used it before. It is a type of flux that you can use, just pour some in a small container of water and paint it on your piece
Hi Andrew, what kind of small butan blow torch do you use ?? Because I have on, but some ours later, butan is gone, most torches are leaking ??
Thanks Anderw
Really geat .
Good.
Sie zeigen das so toll danke man lernt so viel von Ihrem Video danke
good work
I was wondering what you thought of using solder filled jump rings? I have very little experience with this, so am wondering if there are possible issues with using this type of material.
very helpful
i have a question, i am not comfortable with open flame. is it possible to use a soldering iron rather than a torch for jump rings?
Thanks a lot!!
Thank you!
As a plumber I was taught that cleaning (in my case pipe and fittings) is absolutely vital. And as you pointed out, not touching afterwards.
I am used to heating the metal enough for the solder to melt on contact, with no need for the flame to touch the solder. Is that a viable technique at this smaller scale?
Allen Clark Exactly. When soldering fine chains if you touched the chain with the torch it would melt so you use the heat from the metal to melt the solder
Can you use the paste and the heat on a stainless steel jump ring? Or is this pure silver?
