Good video thanks for this, really was hoping it was also showing how to solder it to a pendant.....I struggle with soldering bails like that with or without jump rings...any chance that you could possibly show that step please Andrew?
I was hoping for that too
I was hoping he would solder the point. Please 🙏🤗
Thanks for doing vids about the basics as well as more complicated things.
Very informative! What gauge of silver are you working with?
Thanks!
Always have the topics im looking for Andrew. Thanks for the continued help.
I am just starting in Jewellery and have a bail to repair or replace. Thanks for this film Andrew.
A really nice and easy way, well explained, thank you very much
I had just tried and failed to make one, so this was perfect timing. Thank you!
You took the mystery out making bails! I have been avoiding bails for some time, your use of the scissors really gave me confidence to make a whole bunch of bails in advance. Thanks Andrew!!
Hi Cedartree, if you love mysteries, I highly recommend Jeanette Cain's Book "Soldering demystified"; it is hands down the most accurate, direct, and foolproof technique demystification I've ever read/seen. It changed my professional work completely (for the better). Good luck.
I've just made a bail like this, Andrew, but by gum, your method is so much easier!
You make everything look simple. Thank you for taking the time.
So true
Great! Thank you.
Thank you for simplifying for a beginner. Great video.
What gauge of silver metal are you using? How do you harden the bail once it's made? I have made some bails but they remain soft after soldering onto the piece. How do I avoid that?
I'm new to jewelry making and these are the best videos for a beginner like me. thank you for the value you provide.
Cool thank you for shering your Tutorial are so super thank you so much.
Wow thank you for shering.

Thank you again for another great tutorial. Just signed up on your site, cheers.
Brill as always. Any chance of doing a video on how to make T Bar Toggle clasps?
Hello! You got a new subscriber here! This video was very well done. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Best to you!
Awesome!
another great video. I too would like to see how to solder it on. Can you bend the tips and turn this into an ice pick bail?
So much easier than what I thought they would be. Going to try making one this week! :) Thank you!
BIG well done Ray in Norwich, just starting -up in all this...I use to teach Scrollsaw techniques, and I am using my skills in that also to create items. in metal for Jewelry.
Thanks so much for the awesome videos
This is amazing! Thank you sooooo much
Thank you Andrew. Great tutorial as always.
Hi Andrew Berry, thanks again for this tutorial. You explain everything so well. I would love to see a tutorial from you making a classic bail not soldered on to another piece. I think the bail I think of have a domed rounded look from the inside. And it was shaped on the outside with the file the way you did it at the end. I would love to see see make another bail just like this one but not so flat looking, more rounded edges?
At the benches is not a word
No but At The Bench’s is
Wieder ein super Tutorial thank you
Thank you for sharing another great video. 🇨🇦😎
Excellent, thank you!!
Thank you! Very helpful
INCREDIBLE WORKMANSHIP!
Where did you get those scissor-like metal cutters?
How would you fasten them to a pendant? Wouldn't you need some sort of prong on the end? (I'm a total noob)
Can you post a video on how to make a bail to fit a 5.5 mm cuban chain please! Thank you!
ALL of your videos are amazing. One question though, I had always been told you can’t go back and forth w a file. But it saw you doing it quite successfully. What gives?
Files only effectively cut in one direction, the back and forth stroke just makes it easier to file consistently because it never leaves the work peice. The premature ware thing isn't that big of a problem especially when you are working with relatively soft metal.
He puts downward pressure on the file with the forward stroke, no downward pressure on the backwards stroke
@@frederickmaguire6796 good point! Thanks!
Thanks to you I have made silver rings, earrings and necklaces in the last few months! I am struggling with knowing what file to buy. I have needle files but want a bigger one. Do I really have to spend a lot on a jewellery specific one? This is proving to be an expensive hobby but I am hooked! Could you please tell me what you would buy if you could only have one? There is soooo much confusing choice out there!
that's brilliant
Have you got a video on how to solder that to a spectacle bezel setting ?? Any help would be awesome thanks
thank you for this helpful video. How think is the metal for the bail?
This is great! tyfs xoxo
Very good video👌.
whats the thickness of that piece of metal for the bail and do you have any recommendations for a good size range for thickness? Thanks!
0.5 mm sheet for those wondering
Can u do it with stainless steel??
What gauge Mattel is best to use for bails
Thank you Andrew, I really enjoy your videos. What thickness of silver do you recommend for a bail please?
Mine was 0.5mm thick
Where are those shears from?
Thank you Andrew. Great tip.
I have a new crucible that I need to prepare for first use. Any suggestions?

Can I please ask you where you got your jewelers saw? The German one. Every one I buy here are junk they slip from the nickel plating. Or the screws to tighten it up don’t work. I am willing to buy from your supplier
hi Andrew good one again quick simple, can you please help me ? i have quite a lot of silver from when i first started making things this has solder on it from projects that went tits up , can i melt down and reuse this silver as there is a lot or will t weaken the silver down so much , i am thinking if i use this silver on other things but not mark it as 925 but silver only would that cause me a lot of problems can you help me please.
But how to you attach it to the jump ring on a setting????
how do you attach your bail to the pendant or a jump ring? Do you bend that pointed end in?
Found your follow-up video on attaching a bail. Thanks!
Cool
One question: I always learned to file only in one direction. I notice you file in a back-and-forth motion. Could you explain?
The backward motion is not hard. The file glides across the metal. Pressure is only put on the forward stroke. I usually lift the file
How thick is that bail ?
What is the best gauge silver for a bail
I used 0.5 mm
Great stuff. Can I ask the brand and model of those shears you were using? They looked great.
Unbranded sheers. They were just fine sheers with a sharp end
Well darn. Lol. Thank you for responding though.
Where do you buy your bullion from? I've been looking and it's coming up hard to find a decent bullion dealer for this type of stuff.
What size sheet for gold or silver did you use to make that bail. By that, I mean MM in length and width.
It depends on the size you want. Try 3mm x 12mm x 0.5mm
@@Atthebench Thank you for your response. But I am from America and we don't really use MM to buy a sheet of gold my distributor is asking for these dimensions. What's the gauge of the sheet you would recommend for medium-sized chain in width inches and length in inches. how much should I buy so I get the most value out of my bails.
What guard is this?
What’s the best gauge of the sheet to make it?
Thanks 🙏🏼
Mine was 0.5mm thick
Andrew Berry thank you!!!
I just loooove all your videos. I’ve learned a lot!
3:17 demo begins.
Good demo, very useful. It would be useful to know what metals are strong enough to make bails this way. I don't want to use silver but cheaper metals for a more ethnic or tribal look.
ONLINE, not ON LINE. (Desc text).
Camera needs to focus on work, not on person. Bring it in closer - show focus on work with some lighting.
Get right into the demo fast, keep intro out completely. This is outdated, annoying, and wastes time.
Minimal talking please. Focus camera and SHOW, don't TELL. Keep it short. You lose people with long tutorials. Edit out footage if necessary.
Thanks for no music.
