Previous film showing how Andrew made up the perfect bezel here • How To Make An Oval Be...
This film sees Andrew showing you several techniques for managing to solder on that bezel onto a backplate. You don't need anything fancy or any extra equipment. You don't need clamps nor binding wire. These just make your life more complicated and are time consuming. And who doesn't want to get the right result first time with no messing about?

Absolutely perfect!! 😃 Loved the whole video, clear, easy to understand and follow. Thank you!! 😃
Two of my favorite people to learn from in one place.
@@donnaanasse5177 that's so kind Donna, thank you!
You are the perfect teacher! You worry about the things, you explain you every move, you’re sincere. Thank you for your existence!!
Best technique soldiering of the bezel on the back plate, you’re an awesome teacher. 😊
Another great video by Andrew Berry. This is the first time I have seen one of his tutorials with subtitles ! I couldn't help but read them just to see how many made up words there were 🤣💟
An absolutely brilliant and clear video of how to do it the right way and get a perfect result every time. Thank you for all the education work, Andrew! Honestly, I can say “I love soldering” after watching your videos.
I love soldering as well - something about the way the solder reacts to the heat... I just can't get enough of it!! So satisfying :-)
Hi Andrew,
This comment is not related to the video but I figured I'm going to say it anyway. I finally was able to materialize my first silver solder thanks to your soldering video. Thank you so much!
Perfection. Such a great teacher 😊
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous and perfect
As a budding silversmith and jewelry creator I am always looking for new and efficient techniques. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge!!
Thank you Mr Berry. I have been struggling with soldering a bezel to a backplate. Going down to my workroom right now! I appreciate your tutorials because you are so thorough with your explanations plus the photography is outstanding. 😄
When the solder took Into the metal and flowed I got goosebumps!!! A most beautiful solder joint Andrew. Very fine work.
BEST video I’ve watched on soldering! Thank you so much. Fantastically helpful
WOW. So glad I found you. My favorite people to learn from are perfectionists. You explain absolutely everything, it really helps me to put the whole picture together. I think this will help me get through my first piece successfully
I appreciate how I can follow along with you as if I'm sitting in class with an instructor. Thank you.
Hello! Andrew, I actually follow you some time and like the way as I plead and teach very pedagofical. I come from the old school 48 years ago, but I love to see your program from Canada, where I live a few years ago as well. I hope you can continue teaching for many years. Congratulations
That's interesting I don't bother to ball up my solder and it jumps all over the place, I think I may do it this way from now on, thanks I've learnt something new
Great instruction Andrew. My bits of flat solder would sometimes pop out while heating it up the flux.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing! 👏🏻💎
Thank you for your great lessons!
Thank you for this video! Very, very helpful.
Excellent instruction, as always.
This ball trick is just amazing! Thank you, Andrew! I'm about to make a slew of cabochon pendants and this will probably help tremendously. Cannot wait to try it.
This video was so helpful. I have taken many classes and have never had it explained this well, so thank you so much!
Another great video. Thank you so much for sharing x
Cheers Andrew love these vids clear & concise instruction.
Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Love the tip for balling up the solder pallions before placing inside the bezel. Thanks very much for another perfect technique video!
Thank you so much, great instructions!
Fantastic! So clear and informative 🙏💯💜
You have mastered your art, always a great lesson to learn. 1000 thanks for it.
Fantastic, so clear, allowed me to make a bezel for a cabochon first time around!
good idea of balling up solder, nice adherence to bezel as well as back plate.
Thanks Andrew!
Andrew ! I LOVE SOLDER ALSO !! 💖🙏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻😂
Thanks for the great learning video ! As usual you are the best when it comes to teaching techniques 🙌🏻🙌🏻
As always...I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS! Happy New Year!
Great piece of teaching. I got it! He made it clear and concise enough to learn from. Not easy. Great job. Many thanks.
Brilliant clear and precise as always. Cheers Andrew. See you on the next live Q&A.
I sure appreciate your videos, you're an awesome teacher ❤️.
You are an excellent teacher. I have learned so much from you already. Thank you!
I think I could listen to your voice, just because, even though, yes, I want to improve my solder skills.mahalo.
you helped me on my college brooch jewelry project and it was a success, thank you
Excellent. Thanks.
So helpful. I had been having a little difficulty, and after using a make shift trivet to heat the base of the metal, the solder flowed perfectly. Thanks for your excellent videos. I have watched several .
대단히 감사합니다. 선생님의 튜토리얼은 저에게 많은 가르침을 주십니다.
Love your videos!!!!!!
I've been working today trying for the first time to solder a gallery wire bezel to the back plate. I wish my soldering went as well as yours. I am going to give this method a try before I cry. You make it look so easy. Thank you, for your expertise.
I love your videos they are insanely helpful
Great help, thank you
Super, super fantastic.
Very nice to see an instructional video from someone who understands how to teach. Subscribed and will share your work! Thank you!
I've not seen the ball technique before. Brilliant!
Oh ma lawrd! I can’t thank you enough for this tutorial! I just made one and it’s PERFECT! Thank you!
Perfect thank you
I'm learning so much from you . Thank YOU So Much . 🌻
Very nice! 👍
Love how you Britt's pronounce the word solder. Thanks for the lesson.
jerry stoneman Any idea why/when Americans started saying, “sodder”? (It drives me nuts! Probably because ‘sod’ and ‘sod yer’ is rude in BritLand.) I’ve seen older videos where they pronounce the ‘L’. I always want to yell at the screen (and sometimes do), “What do you call individuals in an army?!?!?” (never heard *anyone* call them ‘soddyers’😉).
Perfect, Perfect, Perfect BRILLIANT! TU!
Your best skill just might be teaching.
Thank you. 👍👍
Thank you that’s helped me no end 🎉🎉
You used a lot more solder than i was expecting :) Jeanette Caines is a great advocate of using balled solder.
Thank you so much
Awesome!
I really appreciate your detailed and excellent instruction. The use of binding wire on a fine silver bezel never worked for me and I always distorted the fine silver. Methods: I made sure bezel and backplate were absolutely flat, I created a triangular platform of titanium strips, similar in idea to what you used and tried balled solder instead of pillions on the outside of the bezel. Thank you so much! I would like to explore your classes as prices are listed in pounds. Kindly help. Thanks again.
Thank you 🤝
right on mate
Nice jobb
Love your videos I find them so informative, by the way I think you should use Doly Parton as your them tune 925
My husband is absolutely addicted to soldering. I think he may be on to something! 😀
Grazie, veramente esplicativo…
Thank yooou 💙💙💙
Hi Andrew ! Awesome informative tutorials. Would the same rules apply for a patterned saw pierced back plate? And what thickness would you recommend?
Well .. I hope I find the love for soldering.. at the moment I’m picking a window to throw it all through!!! ...you make it look so easy 😅.. it was my first attempt tho and I couldn’t make the solder flow , seemed I was way to long heating it aswell . Who knows practice practice practice! I guess
Hi Andrew! Thank you for your videos and your knowledge. which solder did you use for the bezel?
Thank you Mr Berry. I love your videos and I have learned so much from you.. But I saw your little flux brush and I feel like I need to send you another 1. Lol
Great video! I love the enthusiasm. I was surprised you didn’t cry though 😂😂 just kidding.. Gotta love what you do, right?
Another question (please and thank you) - I think many might consider this problem - the front (top) of the bezel setting (complete with backplate attached) has been protected from oxides and firescale by the flux you painted on before soldering the bezel wire to the backplate, however, the back of the backplate, the part that often is seen after the piece of jewelry is complete is not protected by any flux. The enduring flame that is directed at the "underneath" surface is long enough to develop deep firescale. Can this be prevented? I usually hallmark my pieces on the back of the backplate before I solder as its easier to do so on a flat piece of material/sheet. The sanding needed to eliminate firescale can thin or destroy a hallmark. Thank you, Andrew.
New subscriber here :) I will be taking a course to learn how to solder soon and your tutorial videos have me so excited to try it out for myself! What type of magnifying glasses do you use/what magnifying strength? I know that I will need some of those lol.
All that you need to de-grease the backplate is 90 % rubbing alcohol thanks for vid ur great !!!
Great video! What size bezel are you using?
I love watching soldering done well, even more when it’s perfect! I’ve only soldered copper pipe fittings (plumbing central heating) and was always afraid I hadn’t used enough solder in the right places. If only I’d seen your videos (but it was before UA-cam), I’d have understood what was happening. However, those joints haven’t leaked yet...
Hi Andrew. This video is so detailed and I did everything you said, everything, just with 14k yellow gold, and the solder wont flow......! I just melted the first bezel and is extremely nervous to do it again. I had the same issue with 14k rose gold. I have put in on top of a mesh with space underneath, so heating under the bezel, but nothing happens. I am so deeply frustrated as I have done it before, I have absolutely no clue why all of a sudden this is such a big problem. Silver is still easy to work with for me. Hope you can help me out. Many thanks
Andrews is copper the same?
Love your teachings.... have been a student "on the bench" but had to put on hold momentarily.
Thanks
Thank you! This was a wonderful video. One question, what brand of saw blades do you use, and what size was used to cut the metal in the video.
Vallorbe is the brand and I only use 3/0
Fantastic video Andrew. One question, where did you get the metal stand that you put the backplate and bezel on?
I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you!
What kind of torch are you using?
+Kirstin Pinit It’s a large hand held butane torche. Dremel makes one type
@@Atthebench thanks. I'm watching other videos and see you cover this elsewhere. I have two butane torches but the flame doesn't seem to be as "focused" as what I see in your tutorial. But! Gives me more confidence that I can stick with this style for awhile.
Hi Andrew, will this technique work for a large bezel as well - I really like it as it prevents accidental melting of the bezel?
Hi there Andrew.,
I love everything that you say!
I would like to know if I can apply the bezel math to a ring?
Love your videos, or should I say film? Just kidding......
Andrew, does a cold day make it harder for solder. also I don't have the mesh only a solder block. the mesh doesn't sit up high from the block anyway so does that make it hard, should i by the mesh and tripod. I am only new to this.
What strength of solder did you use for the soldering of the bezel join and subsequently the bezel onto the backplate, Andrew? Hard for the bezel ring and medium for the bezel onto the backplate?
Mr Berry,
I bezel set a cabochon horizontally on to a back plate, but realize it would be better to set it vertically. Thinking of cutting all around the backplate without removing the stone and reset it onto another backplate using prongs. Kindly advise and thanks.
What kind of solder sheet do you recommend for work like this? Extra easy, easy, medium?
Thank you SO much! I have been struggling with this and and I now know what I've been doing wrong!!!
Would you please explain how to choose bezel thickness? Or is it purely a matter of looks? Thanks again...:-)
+Gina Shear don’t go thicker than 0.5mm as you won’t be able to burnish it tightly against the stone
@@Atthebench Thank you!
Andrew, hey, may I ask why you preferred the bezel join on the tighter curve, rather than the straighter curve of the bezel? Also, I’ve heard it said to remove the burr caused by sanding the bezel bottom flat? This person said the burr causes the solder to flow above the back plate, on the burr, and not actually getting good contact. I don’t know this persons level of experience,so I’m asking you, cuz I keep seeing the flux bubble through the bezel and back plate while soldering it down, looking like dots. So,I never think it’s done. Thanks!!
You truly are a master and great teacher. I have not watched any "Tv" just been binge watching your videos. I'm just starting out, and your videos are the best out there!!! Cheers!!
Paddy
P.s. If you want, check out by Facebook page at Paddys Corner Store. cheers again!!!
What’s the best gauge for the backplate and strip that holds stone?
What is a good soldering iron all around
Where do you buy, or should I say which brand of jeweler's saw blades do you use?
+Ermel Arroyo I use Vallorbe blades and have done so for years. Dependable and reliable
I keep getting firestain on my silver, and I don’t understand why. I feel like I have tried everything, but it still keeps happening. Any tips?
Is it the same for larger pieces?
