- On one of At The Bench's last videos someone asked how to make ear rings posts.
In this video Andrew shows you several techniques for successfully making your own ear ring posts and how to solder them onto the ear ring.
Andrew shows you many hints and tips that he has gained from his 30 years experience as a professional goldsmith.

That's much easier than I thought! You're a great teacher and very generous to share your knowledge. ty!
Andrew, your videos have been indispensable to my self-driven learning process. This video is AMAZING!!! Thank you SO much for your time and service to the craft and others like me.
Yes yes YESSSSSSSSSSS no more nine to five . Andrew berry changed my family's life and our time together. PRICELESS 💕
Thank you so very much, I have so many earrings that have lost their posts. I'm just getting started and this is what I'm going to tackle first.
I always wondered how people will get that grove at the back ear post. Thank you so much Berry.
Thanks, Andrew for this tutorial, it was brilliant. I've never learnt this from my late uncle, who was a jeweler for many years, but you.
The saying is " tutorials are better than watching a movie."
Ps. I'm 68 yrs old.
Excellent.
Brilliant instruction! Thank you again!
This was absolutely awesome thank you!
Thank you very much for all the videos you post. I have learned so much from you!
Your videos are always excellent and loaded with extremely useful information. Thanks for making them.
Thank you for your fantastic demos and tips
Thank you for making this look easy. I’m ready to try it now.
Really informative - excellent lesson. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Andrew, I love learning how to do a post earring.
Fabulously clear, to-the-point instruction. Thank you, Andrew :-)
Thanks again Andrew, I learned a couple of great things. I do appreciate your videos
Great video, thank you. You answered all of the questions I had about this process and did it in a really succinct manner.
Brilliant little lesson, Thank you for sharing 👍👍
Excellent tutorial! You’ve covered everything I wanted/needed to know! I’ll follow this technique to the T! Thank you so much, Andrew!
Thanks Andrew.
You are truely a great teacher.
Thank you so much for being so generous with your big brain and your time! You are a great instructor.
Thank you! Your videos are always spot on!
Excellent video. You got me over my apprehension about soldering earring posts
Andrew, you know how to teach, thank you for explaining all steps!
Thank you Andrew, another excellent tutorial 👍
I simply love your lessons. Greetings from Poland :-)
I really like your new thumbnails and how they are colour coded, very professional looking and organised. Keep up the good work ,👍🏼
This is absolutely the best video for making post earrings out there. Balling the end of the wire and using the round nose pliers to put the dent in the finished earring are just genius. Thank you, Sir, for upping my game.
Great tips on hardening the post! Thank you do much! ❤
Thank you so much. That was a very simple detailed method of attaching and finishing an earring with post.
Wow amazing thank you so much this is exactly what I've been looking for a way to create earring backs simple and easy,As you are a great teacher!
Brilliant techniques, I use them every time bill I make earring posts. Thank you Andrew 😊
I do appreciate your tips. I have used my side cutters to make the groove at the end. I think I am going to like the round pliers a lot more. :)
So simple. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant as usual. Could you do a video on hammering techniques and effects please?
Thank you Mr Berry for sharing this video. I have learned a lot with you,. You are a very good Teacher 👍👍😊.
Very good tips Andrew. Thank you very much! ☺
Thank you! Best way of soldering an earring post that I've seen so far!
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been avoiding ear posts, but knew I couldn't forever. The last time I tried them did not go well. You have so many good tips and present the information in your videos so well. I always feel like you have given plenty of information so that I can try any of the techniques on my own. I see below that someone asked for a video on texturing with a hammer. That would be great. I have a lot to learn and your videos are so helpful.
Thank you for your videos. They are awesome with your tips on the best way to do things. I would like to see one on how to hold a shoulder adornment on a solitaire diamond ring to solder it on.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you , thats just the information i was looking for 🤗.
Great video as always Andrew, I have learned a lot from you sir. Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks.
Thank you so much learning much from your Tutorials.
You are so helpful. Thanks for the post
Great tips. Thanks.
Superb. I have been buying posts but now will make my own
being watching your videos for a while, keep it up!
Thank you fore your much work from Tutorial i love it ilearning so much. Thank you Andrew Berry
Thanks SO much for sharing your expertise Andrew. I've learned so much already! I watched your delft clay /cuttlefish casting films and you mentioned that you might make a film demonstrating how to cast using a seashell. Is it possible to do this please? Thanks again. Steph
Cool you make soldering so easy
Regarding my comment below, I WAS able to find sterling silver butterfly earring backs and they are not expensive. I suppose that's easier than making my own. Thanks again for all your amazing videos. I have so much to learn.
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Thank you for the great tips!
Brilliant. Thank you!
Das ist wie immer ein tolles Tutorial danke
Thank you so much for this, Andrew. Just wondering if this would be possible if, say, I was to repair the broken off back post of an earring with settings in it by attaching a new back post? What could I do to ensure the settings are protected while I solder a back post on?
Thanks for all the videos and just how informative you make them.
Love this video!
Love your tips! Thanks :)
Thank you! Perfect!
Thank you so much for thar tutorial, great advice and tips. If I wanted to stamp the metal first to decorate what thickness of metal sheet would be best? Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Andrew
you are a godsend. thank you. i will make you proud
Really helpful video. Thankyou. Is it possible to see a video of forging silver wire (to make say a Celtic style pendant) and shaping sharp points in wire leaf shapes.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very helpful. I wondered how to get a better joint.
thanks so much
Thanks again, Andrew, for another awesome video. Question: Do you make your own "butterfly" backs, or do you purchase them? (Are stainless steel butterfly backs the usual on silver earrings, because I couldn't find the silver ones in any online store in the USA, only stainless steel.) If you DO make your own, maybe you could make a video on how to do that.
I also use the cup bur on the side of the post which connects to the earring. indent with a ball bur, and rounded post which fits exactly. much bigger surface area and very little solder needed.
Thank you!
another great video. Question - Can you use paste solder here?
Fantastic thank you
Thank you so much.
Thanks for your tips. Do you have any video on how to make solders?
Great! Thanks!
Love your channel. Can you do a video in prong soldering with basic tool
Hi Andrew thankyou for your videos. I’m just starting out but I’m a little confused as our tutor taught us to solder the post on in a different technique.
Greetings from New York.👌👌👌
Ooooh cup bur trick!!! Thanks 🙏
For years I've been missing my other star-shaped rainbow gem earring, I thought I would never see it again. I couldn't bear to get rid of this earring. But I just found the missing earring at the bottom of a box that's been in storage for 10 years! The post is broken off, so I found your video in hopes that I can fix it. 😁🤩❤
thank you so much!
Excellent teacher. I’m a beginner. Can you recap the solutions you dip in after soldering?
@Andrew Berry
I couldn't remember how to make the indentation near the end of the post so this was very helpful, thanks! 👍 Btw, what brand is your butane torch?
I saw this a few years ago and now that I'm making post earrings (as opposed to french wire dangles) I needed to refresh my memory. Thanks for leaving many of your tutorials open to the public. They're an invaluable tool that gave me confidence to make bench jewelry. Cheers! 😊
Just been texting the new micro torch from durston. Totally recommend it. See latest video
Thank you. This is a great video, so helpful. If I’m just starting and can not afford sterling wire for practice, what kind of wire should I get?
Silver wire is very cheap and if you do mess up and melt it, then you can use it as embellishments on your jewellery
Thank you for your tips! Could you please do a video on making facet stud earrings
Muchas gracias por compartir
Thanks master😊
What company sells the white nylon brush. We dont have them in N.Z. Thank you for all your wonderful lessons.
Helped so much in Lockdown.
Hi, great video!
I'd like to see how to scribe onto silver using tools.
Hi Andrew! Have a nice day! Can you show how to do "lock" for this type of earnings?
Thank you. Is it possible to back the scroll backs also?
HI Andrew, could you make another video on pre-polishing and final polishing ?? thanks !!
Will make sure the next film is polishing this ear ring
@@Atthebench Yes, please.
Thank you for another excellent tip. I notice you always solder with the small self contained torch. I have the Little Torch with oxy/propane. Would I be better off with the type of torch like you are using.
A small torch like his would mainly direct the heat to the area you are working with instead of the whole thing
thanks
Great
Hi Andrew ! I don’t know what to do. I am trying to solder a back of earing onto some thin round wire. It did worked at some point but only one time i don’t know how. It is so hard. Do you have any tip for it ?
What is the name of the domed Dremel bit? I’ve been searching and can’t find it online. Thanks very much
The polishing bristle you used where do I get those?
is there a jeweler tool kit you would suggest? i got one with my student study but some things I did not...
What about if you have a chunkier earring? Would a 21 gauge still hold it in well?
Best video on making Earring Post!! Could you tell me what gauge of wire you used?? I couldn't hear what you said. Was it 20 ga. 21ga. or 22ga.?????
Did you ever get an answer to this? I was wondering the same thing. What gauge?
@@LinseyGirl I looked it up, it was about 21 Guage.
I looked it up, it was about 21 Guage.
Thanks for the reply! 👍
