THE EQUIPMENT I USE TO VLOG AND FILM

[annwaters]

I started silversmithing in 1969 in high school. Started selling in the 70s but had to quit after I had kids. Went on to do custom leatherwork, but always missed working in my silver shop. Kept all my tools and bench and am now setting up my shop again. I love your videos because they are giving me a refresher course so I can jump back in! Thank you for your clear videos and explanations!

When I first started doing bench work, I did things the way I was taught. As I gained more experience and was exposed to the way other jewelers worked, I adopted techniques that worked better and quicker and developed my own style of working. I still love to see the techniques of other jewelers and learning how to do things better and more efficiently. You have a gift for teaching. I really enjoyed this video series.

Bwahahahaaa! the sad face and the bloopers at the end is why this channel is so delightful to watch. I love learning new things. thank you so much!

Hi Mr. Berry I am your former student since you start the videos. I really love your professionalism and the way you emphasize your points while you teaching. I appreciate your videos very much.

[WhiteDust]

following the every step in such a detail! you are brilliant, its like i took a full course of how to solder :D

[Mark_L]

As soon as I graduate from copper I will get some silver and try to make one. Now that you showed me how I feel confident I can do a good job. Great series.

Hey Andrew I have an idea for a film. I had a stroke and was looking for a way to compensate for my week left hand when sawing on the bench pin. I found a clamping metal bench pin. It got me to wondering what else is out there for compensating for other handicaps that would allow Jewelers to keep working. Also my legs don't work well enough to work my flex shaft pedal so I put it on my bench and use my right forearm. Love watching you and have learned so much from you.

Hi Andrew I am about to bezel set my oval cabochon labradorite, thank you so much for your video and it give me more insight how to do it right.

Melting solder for the second time can take a slightly higher temperature. That is very useful. Lots of great tips and lessons in this film, as always. Thanks Andrew. Catch you on the next live Q&A.

I love your videos I started learning how to make cabochons but never learned anything about making a bezel

[flyingcheff]

Holy Moley! Whoa! Great as usual, super zoom speed, Wowza! Andrew, you Hercules, trying to answer all the questions in time! We worship/appreciate you!!

Hi, Andrew. I love your tutorials. You’re a true master. ♥️. I always learn something from you! Thank you! Live the bloopers 🤣

[SunchaserPhotography]

Love the bloopers. :-) Well, and I learn so much from your videos!

[msstarlight]

This is great, I'm so glad your channel was recommended to me, I'm really enjoying working my way through your backlog of videos.
You really would make a great teacher/mentor.
👍👍

I love your bloopers at the end. I love making jewelry, even though I'm fairly new to it and self taught. Your videos have made understanding certain aspects easier and I have made some decent pieces with the use of the knowledge. Honestly, I don't know how many times, while working on a piece, I drop a tool or the piece itself. So seeing someone else do it makes me feel better about my butter fingers some days.
Thank you!

[mariannesparrenius]

[unityBC]
