Thank you so much for all you teach and share. At exactly 6.00 you explained the thing I needed to know to make a 'C' shaped shank for the back of a large bezel setting. It's my first bezel and first soldered ring, and I was struggling to work out the length to cut my half round wire for my shank. As always your video is informative, well explained and so pleasant to watch. Much appreciation to you from Cali.
I love your videos, they are very clear, focused and the steps are explained beautifully. You make it look so easy!Thank you for taking the time to teach others!
I love pierce work, it's loads of fun! I've also found that if concerned about the drill bit skittering across the metal using a small round bur to make a divot helps. You're wonderful as always!
Thank you for such clear and inspirational tutorials. I started watching when I had a period of illness and now I am well and I have just started a class and I so enjoy it.
Thank you so much. I am a self-taught jeweler and your videos give me conformation that I am doing things right. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
I noticed that you don't show disconnecting the blade to start in another section. While everyone may scoff at my statement, I am learning so I am not afraid to sound ignorant to sawing intricate patterns. I realize to some it seems pretty obvious that one would have to unscrew pull the blade out and rethread it. I am a visual learner and as hard headed as a bull, but do you have any video that shows you doing this even once so I can see you moving throughout such an intricate piece? If you don't respond I understand. However, just so you know, I do like your videos. They are very clear and concise.
Manual work very cool ... very precise and distinctive and explain ... worth seeing and follow-up ... Thank you for your quest and Ahtmacm in the deployment of these beautiful Video, ... you have my full appreciation and gratitude you very much ...
Soham, I've been watching your videos the past few days and am sooo happy I found your channel here. I am from Germany, brandnew to the obsession and your videos are just the best thing that could happen to anybody that wants to make jewellery. Huge thanks to you :-). I just love the way you explain each and every step you are making, how you keep repeating the most important rules (the flux will go clear, the solder will flow). You are the most informative jewellerer on youtube and I just love that you share your secrets with us :-) I am at the stage of tryin to get my tools together and was wondering what 'pickle sollution' you use, because you mentioned in 'tools part 1' that you use cold pickle.,.. How long to you keep your silver in that sollution to soak? Thank you soooo much in advance :-)
Master Jeweler / Goldsmith here: my father taught me to bezel set with a jewelers hammer and hammer the edges. there wasn't fancy tools like these. would've been nice. cutting the heads from coins was my training got real good that I used thinner blades and got more into the details on Mexican pesos. I paid my dues, lots of blood sweat and tears... good 'ol days. time to put some music
I enjoy all of your videos so much...as an aspiring metalsmith with no available workshops in my area you videos are by far the best on RUclips....may I ask with this type of shank how do you size it correctly ? If you get an order for a specific size? ...and thanks again for making these informative videos....:)
Your videos always help me tremendously! Thank you for taking the time out to make them. Would you mind telling me what tool you used to hallmark the ring?
I wanna say thank u for all your great videos and tips as a new jeweler Iam attemptingmy first bezel ring this week.. I love how u pierced out the back of this one with such a cool little design. It looked awesome👌.. One question iv saw u say in other videos. When do u know not to polish silver n Tumblr it instead? 🤔 i never received formal training so forgive me if theres a simple answer to this question.
Hello I'm really loving your videos ! I wish I had a teacher like you ! Really thank you, your explanations and tips are so clear ! I have one question, what kind of hallmark tool you are using and where can I get one like yours ? It looks that it works correctly just opposite of mine... thank you in advance and please continue to share your knowledge on your videos, you're an amazing teacher ! regards David
Can you tell me the guage of the fine silver sheet you use for bezel. 24,, 26 ,, ? I already found the ring shank. I am trying to purchase from rio. Do you have a recommendation for a non grs vise. I teach jewelry to teenagers and dont want the expensive interchangable system for school. I am buying it. I make them watch your videos for homework. They wish all their other classes had homework like this. Your voice is calming they love it. Outstanding teaching technique! Im learning better ways to teach from you.
Another excellent video!! I don't understand why people are always trying to "correct" your speech. They need to watch the video on "soham" so they understand your accent.
I an curious as a beginner. Where do you get the ring shank material? I have looked at Rio Grande where I get all my wire for wraping and weaving. No luck. Am I just looking it up wrong?
Maybe someone can help me, every time I set a stone I can’t get it to not move around/twist in the bezel setting... I am only using a burnishing tool to push the bezel up against the stone right now, could it be that that doesn’t secure it enough? The fit of my bezel wire around the wire before I solder it around seems to be the same as in many tutorials. If anyone could offer me some advice on this it would be greatly appreciated:)
Fantastic videos. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and expertise. One complaint, though. There's no such word as "heighdth". It's "height". There's no need to complicate things.
if you are using a propane, or an LPG air torch i would recommend easy solder, you are right in assuming all the other solder would flow, but if you have an lpg oxy you can isolate the joins so it would work to use hard on everything
it is the hardest thing to get right. are you using binding wire? i usually dont. i just place the ring on the base with a third hand gently resting on it to keep it in place, and check it out about 42 times, and sometimes it is spot on.

So glad this was on my reccomended. Subbed and liked!!

Your sawing skills are amazing. My local bench teacher has skills like that. I thank you so very much.
Your videos always help me tremendously! Thank you for taking the time out to make them. Would you mind telling me what tool you used to hallmark the ring?
Dear Mr Harrison Thank you so much for this amazing video! you're great!

What a great video series!! One question though ... where did you get your vise??
it is a GRS vice available from rio grande, otto frei on line.
Soham... Hello. I love your classes!
Where did you cat the beveled bezel pusher? I see its beveled on one side. I love that. And I love your classes!
rio grande, i just filed one edge
Very good job 👏
Wonderful video series. One question -- if I use hard solder to attach the ring shank, won't that cause the other seams to come undone? Thanks!
Thank you!
Your filming is very good.
I'd like to have just a tad more on the master volume, though...
me too, but it might be time for a new camera
You are adventurous!
Shopping for, and learning a new system is a task... and processing capability is SO important! Ask your subscribers for advice!
Thank you,this is helpful
Another excellent video!! I don't understand why people are always trying to "correct" your speech. They need to watch the video on "soham" so they understand your accent.
Does that badger paw piercing show through the stone? I can't tell if it does or no.
no. but you could use a transparent stone so it would
amazing as usual
where do you get the designs for applying to the back of bezels?
he probably prints them himself, copy paste. I copy via drawing then glue piece of paper to the piece.
I an curious as a beginner. Where do you get the ring shank material? I have looked at Rio Grande where I get all my wire for wraping and weaving. No luck. Am I just looking it up wrong?
i looked on the site and this is as close as i could get.
www.riogrande.com/product/Sterling-Silver-Half-Round-Wire-10-Ga-12-Hard/100479
soham harrison thank you for looking that up. It is now in my cart at Rio Grande 😁
pleasure

Again and again. Thanks.
СПАСИБО!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind/brand of vise are you using?
GRS from riogrande.com
Fantastic videos. Thanks so much for sharing your skill and expertise. One complaint, though. There's no such word as "heighdth". It's "height". There's no need to complicate things.
