Thank you for this channel! I really respect your depth of knowledge and ability to share it so effectively and gracefully. You're a great teacher.
I really love the depth at which you teach the various concepts of making jewelry. At first I assumed that you were entirely too wordy, but I have grown to appreciate the amount of information that you provide on each of the topics that you discuss. I especially enjoy the in-depth illustrations and examples. Thank you very much.
You're a great teacher, I feel much more confident trying this now. Thank you
Not long started silverwork and I must say your videos are some of the most informative and explanatory I've come across, thankyou
This is exactly the video I needed. I have been taking a jewelry and metal work class and didn't have any success soldering embellishments onto a round ring with the advice from my instructor. I am looking forward to trying this method on my project!
I know what you mean... I took a few classes too , but they didn't teach all the tricks.
Hello Andrew, I stumbled across your channel accidentally. I just bought a soldering gun to repair a bird cage, but I do wire jewelry and some day, when I have the time (right now making masks is taking up most of it), I want to try something like this. Fabulous instructional video, thank you so much. I've subscribed because I know you'll be showing me new things to try. I'm almost 60 - so everyone should know, you're never too old to learn from pros!
Andrew, This is exactly what I needed to see right now. Dealing with some punched out 3/32 dots that need to be soldered to a base. How was I going to do that without the dots moving all over the base? Now I know how. You're one of the best teachers anywhere! THANK YOU.
My new favorite channel. Just love how smart Andrew is. Easy to follow because I am new to this and want to learn all I can before I start. Thanks
You make it all so easy to understand! I'm learning so fast thanks to you and your amazing videos! Thank you.
Exactly what I needed for my next project. Brilliant as always. Thank you.
Thanks Andrew! Wonderfully done!
This tutorial is so easy to understand. Thank you, Andrew for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciate it.
Really a big fan here, in the US, Andrew. Love the videos and I’ve leaned a great deal from you. Thanks!
Great tip. I was having problems trying to solder silver balls. After watching your video several times. I followed your method with 100% sucess.
Thank you
Great video Andrew , I appreciate what you do and your talents my friend
I love these videos and i have learned much from them. It is a delight to see an professional in his trade. Thank you, Andrew.
I've been toying with the idea of doing something like this for some time. I had a feeling sweat soldering before shaping was the way to go, but wasn't confident enough to give it a try. Your video has confirmed my 'gut feeling' and given me the confidence to give it a go. Thank you Andrew! :)
Excellent, Andrew! I only discovered your vids this morning.. so glad for that.
Woo! Gorgeous! You make everything seem so simple. I wish I could do the same!
i just love the videos that you have and details how you explain it. great job
Great video on what I should have done yesterday before ruining my piece and having the detail sitting in a pool of solder, in the wrong place :-). Thanks Andrew ! I’m learning a lot from you !
Like all experts you make it look easy and if you follow your expert advise it is. This comes from your years of working the art and craft. As a teacher of art and craft I appreciate and learn from you and I highly recommend you to those wanting to learn the art form.
I have watched a lot of videos trying to learn how to make rings! You are the first person that makes it very clear and I can understand what you’re saying and you’re not going so fast that I have to rewind you 50 times a bit of an exaggeration but you know what I mean thank you again so much I love all your videos...
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍
I'm a new jewellery design student and your videos are so helpful thank you
It is a beautiful thing seeing the solder flow, I have to agree. Thanks Andrew.
I liked your detained step by step process of making jewelry… you’re the best teacher ❤
Thank you Andrew! Very clear and helpful. 🙏😊🌟
I absolutely love your videos. I'm just starting to learn how to make silver jewelry and your tips have helped me a great deal with my little projects. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
Me too
I am a beginner and this video was extremely helpful. Thank you for showing you should add the embellishments before forming a ring shank! I have added to a formed shank and although not impossible, it was difficult. Wow how this is going to make my life much easier.
Great Lesson Andrew, thanks.
Excellent video great tips! Thank you.
I wish I’d watched this yesterday! It would have saved me a lot of time!!!
Loved the video. Lots of points made clear.
Nice work Andrew, good upload.
Thanks this is just what i needed to watch today.
Great lesson , thanks so much. I can’t wait to try this.
lovely techniques to help the amatuer avoid problems, really appreciate the time saving info!
New subscriber, thanks Andrew. Great tips! And a very neat trick with the borax.
I would have appreciated to see a zoomed image of the ring right after you bent it around the mandrel
I jus love all your videos you are such an amazing teacher...ive learned so many new methods ..really just paying attention to a lot of your videos" thank you so much
Thanks Andrew!
You make the best videos.
Your brilliant, makes me want to get a work shop and start soldering and creating.
Thank you for the video! I melted two silver rings trying to solder the other day.. I’ll try this trick when I get home. Thank you
You're such a good teacher ‼️ thank you 😄
You are a such a great teacher!!
The gods from quenching is so satisfying.
Thank you so much these podcasts are great I am a visual learner so i get so much more that reading it
Thanks Andrew. You have help me bunch.
Another good one Andrew, thank you!..
I also appreciate very much detail of demonstrations
I love your clear instructions!! I was wondering if you had any tips on soldering a new prong onto a broken setting? In sterling.
Great tutorial. Thank you.
I appreciate your detail while explaining what you're doing. I'm wondering if you would consider making a video of how to solder or fuse a silver ball onto a round wire ring? I know it's similar to this but I'm just not sure how to get it to stay in place since the ring is not flat. Thanks so much!
New subscriber.. Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you for this very informative video. I'm new to this and would like more videos from you. I like the detail and preciseness of your lessons.
Awesome videos! Can you do one on packing thick bezels. I like the look of more silver. Thank you.
Grate job on all of your videos The watch pin holder/ tube broke off on one of my watch cuffs
can this be repaired by soldering it back on? And what kind of silver solder to
get /hard / easy flow /etc. Thanks Bob
Thanks for sharing! I fly by the seat of my pants too, but you discover some great stuff through experimentation. Love those stones!
Thank you for useful tips. Would like information about holding parts together for soldering. I'm thinking of an ad that said to set parts in soft wax, then form investment (like glue) around the parts. Then pull off the wax, and solder pieces. After soldering, investment will wash off piece. Is this method apt to work and useful? Or perhaps there's a better way to hold pieces together for solder.
Hi Andrew! I just love your videos. I am a self taught jewelry artist. I'm now working with solder and studying silver smithing. I would love your input or recommended literature to help me learn metal theory. I would also love to see a video on different tyoes of silver. What metals you can mix for instance using soldering techniques. Thanks!!
Extremely helpful thank you
Hello Andrew.
Thanks for these simple and educational videos.
Can you please advise on how to replace gemstones on Turkish-styled men's rings (sterling silver)?
Thanks
Still watching! ❤️
thanks for some great advice
Love your videos! This would not be good for bezel cups eh?? Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Beautiful technique! When you solder the completed ring together, how do you keep the small embellishments from sliding or shifting off from the additional heat? Thank you...Dr Bob
Hello Andrew…….love your teaching method…. It works for me being fairly new.
My struggle today is mending a small hole on the outside of my bezel in which the labradorite is already set.
It is a pendant and it’s Silver. How to protect the stone and would sweating work in this precarious situation.
Cheers
Your work is AMAZING. Which soldering torch wld you recommend to soldering, silver rings, pendants, jump rings. Wld appreciate your reply. Thanks n hv a wonderful day
Thank you. Question - if you were going to add a bezel, would you do it at the same time?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge! I have a question about this method vs fusing metals. I get the solder is not needed for fusing right? Is the technique the same?
Hey Andrew, you need to think of a closing remark lol like...This is Andrew Berry saying...enjoy your projects at your bench. or something to that effect lol Another awesome video. I luv them all!!! ;-)
Very well done tutorial. However, I would like to have seen the finished rounded ring in close up. You were hiding it as if there was something wrong with it ! I am sure it was fine but I still like to see for myself the finished result.
Great video
That's great! What's the white tile on the bench called?
Hi Andrew! I would like to learn all the steps to polish a ring with the flex shaft elements. Thanks
just great learning.... outstanding, thanks
where can i find the borat?
i need to ask you, what kind of solder do you you use to solder the silver?
Brilliant!
Gold bezel on sterling back plate, I SOOOO wish I could see that somewhere., Are you game? Thank you so much for your great quality teaching.
I have the hardest time with s jump ring on stained glass,any suggestions? I have a solder iron
barry what type of soldering block are you using here .
Hi Andrew.. I'm an amateur but I want to learn all that I can. Can you tell me where you bought the punch set? I love your videos a lot. Thanks for all you do. Choctawman
Thank you, Andrew. I'd like to know how to solder a decorative gold filled wire onto silver.
Thanks Andrew your videos have helped me so much! Can I hammer my solder instead of rolling it to make it thinner
Yes of course you can
Hello, can you post videos on soldering gold filled metal?!! I've been doing a little research and it appears to be more difficult than sterling. It would be much appreciated!
Awesomeness
Thank you!
What gauge silver do you use for fines and cuff bracelets?
What if you want to solder gold onto a sterling ring? Same thing? Would one have to use gold solder, or will the silver solder work? Thanks!
Thanks really useful!
Thank you so much
(At the Bench member) I am making hoop earrings similar to this ring. But, the embellishment is a single strip of patterned wire the same length as the blank (but narrower). Will the patterned wire stretch with the blank when I make it round, or does this only work with small embellishments like you’ve shown here?
I understand that it’s easier to solder the embellishments on while the surface is flat. However I like to embellish my rings with granules alongside my bezel setting. Most times I need to have my ring already in round form when doing that. Do you have any tips or tricks on how to keep the granules in place? I know they use hide glue when doing granulation work in the kiln, Can it be used when torch soldering?
♡Could you do a video on adding decorative wire all the way arouns a bezel set cabachon??? Also, setting cabachon stones in bezels on rings, pendants or cuffs???
amymckinney2011 Sure thing Amy. Keep watching for the new films
amymckinney2011 I'd love to see this as well. Thank you

He has lots of bezel setting videos on atthebench.com as well as a plethora of other topics. A jeweler friend of 40+ years told me about At The Bench originally. After checking him out on RUclips i went to his website and subscribed for a year. At The Bench has been more useful to me than a lot of the tools i have. The subscription is absolutely worth its weight in gold. (Pun intended)
Aubrey Laine thanks! i may check that out :)

Do you ever use anything other than metal clips, etc. to hold silver pieces you want to solder together? I've been trying to put together two pieces (two arcs) that require me to hold both pieces and the torch, and the solder -- kinda run out of hands and arms.
Hi Andrew, I’ve been asked to make a spinner ring with a row of turtles on the spinning part. Bought some turtle earrings and took the posts off and am now trying to solder the turtles on to a silver sheet to make the ring, easier said than done! Would you use this method to do it or should I just try silver paste?
Hi, Andrew! I would like to improve the technic of soldering because I would like to solder many pieces together with the help of play dough and plaster. Can you make an episode to explain it please?
Great video but I have a question that how long can we keep on using that burner or torch?I mean can we keep on igniting it for hours or do we need to give it a rest?it is dangerous to keep it on ignition for hours because it could get too hot or can we use it for as long as we want?
