Getting the basics correct like this are invaluable, thanks Andrew.

I do appreciate all of your teaching videos.

Finally - someone who has real information! This has been more helpful than three previous soldering instructors.

Thank you Andrew! I have been using too much solder and have spent a lot of time cleaning up. What you have pointed out about the cross section and the thickness of the solder is common sense but experience is key when it comes to knowing the correct way to do things. Thanks for sharing your experience!!

These videos are always worth watching, and are very much appreciated.

Thanks for your so professional advices Andrew. It is really cool that someone shares so happily 30+ years of hard work experiences' very best conclusions. We very much appreciate your kindness! And your funny jokes too :)

Andrew, thank you once again for your sage advice. I am becoming quite proficient now in soldering rings largely due to your videos. So far I am mostly using brass and bronze as liners for wood rings but I am looking forward to challenging myself further.

Andrew you have such a lovely nature. Thanks for making these videos. I've improved a lot since finding your videos!

Thanks, Andrew! Glad to see you're back again.

The contrast between the two was most helpful. Thanks!

Very helpful -- I've not seen anyone cover the amount of solder needed. Much apprecited.

Thank you for all that you do, to teach others. I have a small jewellery making business in South Africa, and learnt everything i know from your videos.

Very good! Thank you Andrew!!

Thanks Andrew for all your videos

Love your videos! I already use your method for ring making (i.e. not flattening the ring, sawing it to size so the joint angles match.) just finished a ring for my mom with a tube bezel setting filed to match the curves of very heavy, half round ring stock.

Thank you Andrew missed your vids

Great videos, thank you Andrew. Have been silversmithing for a few years on and off but have only just got tools of my own, so these are great for going back to basics and re learning at home!

Good video thank you, easy to follow and very clear, I'm a novice and appreciate people like you sharing your experience. It's hard to get local classes where I live so this is terrific, thank you.

Very good explanation. You are helping me a lot as I'm a newbie. Thank you.

Really helpful, thank you.

New information goes in every time. One watch isn't enough.

Sie sind ein super Lehrer danke auch für die so tollen Videos

I love your film segments, they have helped me greatly. Reply from Australia

Andrew I am inspired by your video, Thanks

Excellent!

i like very much your videos. very well explained and to the point so i can remember very well what i have to do. 👍

Hiya, a great video again, thank you. I've missed your Celtic tones and teaching. A good topic to cover, I'm mostly doing chain mail (?) bracelets using the pre-mixed, but well worth knowing, more videos please...

Awesome thank you Andrew

Thank you for ur advice. 👍💖

So much thank you oll your Tipps.

Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎

I learned a lot! Thanks for posting this one! Bob from Central Virginia, USA

Oooh that bench block... Is that a Fretz block, Andrew? It looks gorgeous! As always, fantastic video. Merci!

Excellent and well presented.

Thanks Andrew!

Thank you so much for sharing all this information. Invaluable!! You're AWESOME !

Brilliant, thank you!

Could you do a video on how to properly file down the rings before and after polishing? I have a few questions need some help lol! Your videos are awesome and have helped me a lot with soldering thanks!

any change to make a video of how to make a silver or gold solder? keep up the good work

Great instruction, Andrew :-) Thank you

great one again Andrew thank you, i have a question please how do you put a hinge on say a round box or a semi circle box please, how is the engraving going?.

I have been trying to do this kind of soldering for more than 20 years. You seem to get the solder to melt very easily. When I do it I cannot get it to flow without getting the silver itself melting. I have tried every tip that I have seen and I still have a problem. I always have to use too much solder (especially with bezels). Can you point me toward some hints that work?

Thank you Andrew. Could you teach me how to soldering a gold hollow ring? How much amount do I need?

Спасибо Друг !

Amazing video like all, just I don’t understand properly the good amount for a good soldering 😰 I mean..how many millimeters it must be?? Thanks a lot 🙏🏽

Do you have any advice for when too little solder has been used and how to rectify that?

Andrew, those solder cutters you were using were going through the solder strip like butter! What make of cutter are they and where can I buy one?

Thankyou for great video Andrew. When sweat soldering let's say a 2 cm disk onto a larger disk, how do you ensure an even bead of solder all around?

Hi. I was wondering what gauge solder did you use on the ring? Thank you

Hi Andrew , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it’s so helpful! I have some trouble soldering the bezel onto a backplate (sterling silver). I cleaned the parts, pickled them, scrubbed them, washed them and still the solder doesn’t melt. 4-5 times. I used both - flux and firescoff. Nothing. The silver looks very white, while soldering it gets hot. I use a hand torch, the backplate is approximately 2x4 cm. I used the same solder and two scrap parts (same thickness as the backplate), I didn’t even bother to clean them at all. The solder melted in 20 seconds! 🤯 What the heck am I doing wrong? Please help 😔😳 Thank you!

Would you recommend to someone who has difficulty with soldering to get a Spot Welder for Jewelry?

Would you recommend soldering silver filled wire?

why did my solder joint go dark did i burn it?

Hey Andrew I have a question after you solder do you put the piece in water to quench it or straight to the pickle?

do i need flux for working in copper?

Is that just Solder or Sterling Solder?

Solder: why use it when joints can simply be fused? I understand the hard, medium & soft solder concepts, which I suppose relates to 3 differing melting temps, so you can make multiple connections on a single piece, without melting the initial "harder" solder points. Do you ever use the fuse technique? If not, why not? I'm guessing fusing releases more fumes as the reason to use solder? This assumption is based upon my reading of these cautions about metal filing, fume, and partial exposure. What is your "take" on these cautions? www.ganoksin.com/article/metals-safety-information/ Your videos set the standard, as far as I'm concerned. I think your knowledge is exceptional & and your teaching methods very clear, easy to understand, and practical. Thank You so much for posting them. Thanks, L. Bland.
