Once you have learned to solder, it's time to use less solder. Using just the right amount of solder saves you money and time because you don't have to file as much off and waste it.

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!!

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.

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.

@stuartcousins9269 5 лет назад

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?

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?

@dawnleece9761 4 месяца назад

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

@Atthebench 4 месяца назад

Hi Dawn You really have to get to grips with soldering as it is one of those basic techniques that you have to learn to do to be able to create your own designs. Spot welders do just that. The metal is joined with just a spot. No strength at all in the joint. People usually use them to hold pieces in place so when they come to solder the pieces stay where they are supposed to.

@dawnleece9761 4 месяца назад

@@Atthebench Thank you for responding😀. I guess that would be a good way to hold the pieces together for soldering. I did not think about it that way. It makes sense to only use it that way.

@sheonlydances 4 года назад

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!

@chadatchison145 2 года назад

@sheonlydances 2 года назад

@@chadatchison145 Hi, it turned out that my torch wasn’t big enough for the piece, the flame couldn’t heat up the big bezel, so I bought a larger torch, still handheld though.

@BlackBearSixTV 5 лет назад

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.

@leonardpearlman4017 Год назад

Are you saying "why solder when you could weld?"? There might be several reasons! 1) Maybe you CAN NOT weld! Historically and even now some of this soldering is done with heat sources that can't weld. Too broad, not intense enough, not hot enough! 2) THEN there's the situation where the work is delicate and cosmetic. Practically invisible joints can be made by solder, with color-match, good strength. Since the solder melts but the work does not, details of the work are preserved. Those are the big ones.
