How do you price your work? Materials are obvious, but what do you charge for your time, and what percentage do you mark up? I worked for Zale's years ago and we marked up 2.5 times. That would be helpful. Maybe a video about that or shorter would just be to respond here. However, it would be cool to watch you make something and see how you determine material costs, your time, and ultimately what you would like to get for a piece of work, what the total of your time and materials, overhead, etc., total up to. Is that something you can show us?

Thanks for sending the serrated bezel tool-set so swift. Greetings from Holland.

[@Skidz1340]

Aliminium? Oh my gawd you are adorable. I have a friend that lives in New Zealand and pronounces the word the same way. You always produce such informative videos. I learn so much from you.

[@johnhowton6339]

thank you dave I just purchased this tool after watching your demo it is amazing , and your way of demonstrating is so clear and precise.

[@suzannehofer3867]

Hi Andrew, love your videos! I haven’t seen any explanation on how to get the soldered ends of the bezel keep the same width spacing if they don’t line up correctly. Is this something that could be made into a video? Thank you for all you do for the jewelry community.🤗

[@robinmiller395]

Your instructions for this tool are easier to follow than Jim Brandvik's videos. OR maybe it took me seeing both to finally get it. Thanks, Andrew!

[@allanthompson9695]

Handy tool, and great demonstration. Thanks for showing it Andrew.

[@AngelaKaySams]

Thank you for this! I would love to see more videos on tool making. Thank you!

[@kathleenchamp3764]

OH MY where was toss last yr. Lol I was working a project and had to set it aside add my particle abilities(use of an arm) flustered me. It was just difficult. For the applicant I was working on..to get these same results. Thank you for the info Andrew! Can't wait to get a set..hope they are affordable :-)

[@jakkibaker1818]

Just bought it ,it’s a great tool thank you

[@alexstansby7988]

Please will you do a tutorial on how to make a brooch back? I've made a silver metal clay thing and am thoroughly confused about how to make it into a brooch!

[@jefflargo2195]

Where can you purchase this tools

[@marriedredpill8301]

Now that you have your castellated bezel cut you should do a video on how you made the turquoise ring, or maybe some earrings to go with the turquoise ring you already made.

[@badsantaclaus4522]

Nice idea The time to line up and cut to slow, What if you cut into clamp to make the cut by so don't need the gauge have two different clamps for each size?.

[@johnhowton6339]

good tool

[@robinwoll9776]

Awesome tools and great demo....but so sad that we can't get in in the US yet!!!

[@artistcg]

The man who makes these lives in Arizona. It is US made.

[@elisazulueta9535]

[@Dharlanna]

Wow! I love this! I remembers you teased about this on IG a while back and I wonered when you were going to show it. Hopefully it will be available in the states at some point! Thanks!

[@jewelrybyjd]

[@Atthebench]

Hi I love learning from you thank5

[@johannesmichel7279]

Gorgeous! Thank you.

[@mary-annkieckhaben5026]

Thank you so much.

[@kellyreese6401]

How difficult is it to set a turquoise cabochon (for example) in this bezel? So far I've only used much thinner fine silver bezel wire.

[@mimardelplata]

Hi I have bought it from you it’s great jig but I find it very hard to set the stone even when I Annealed almost i posible to Bend once the stone is set I used 1mm silver

[@Atthebench]

Are you cutting down the strip because pushing the thin fingers over the stone should not be that hard.

[@mimardelplata]

I don’t know what it is need to make a new one and try again once I solder the strip to the base it like stiff ,! I put the stone in ; and feels very stiff to push it over the stone ; and the problem is I am using an oval stone which make it difficult to measure it too ; I’m confused how to measure a cabuchon stone oval

[@takuyafunaki2889]

I got this tool but returned it for the following reasons. It only works for 18G and thicker metal ( should have watched this video before purchased ), and is made from aluminum and really easy to be cut with a saw. So you have to be really careful. And this tool costs $80 which is not cheap at all. I would kept it if it costs $60 though.

[@kenkarpinski7233]

TOTALLY AGREE! Unfortunately I tried some 20 GA material with a shim under it and wound up scratching the aluminum block, so I cannot return, but WOULD IF I COULD !

[@artistcg]

Have you tried PepeTools BezelEase tool for this? I bought one, but have yet to use it. I'm interested in how they compare.

[@takuyafunaki2889]

no, I don't know about that tool@@artistcg

[@ShapingSilver]

Are the 2 and 2.5 mm steps enough for all stone sizes? I am thinking, you might get a visible shorter "peg"? Or do you just take the next bigger step and bend the bezel that more?

[@Atthebench]

Shaping Silver Just measure to the next grove smaller and then gently tap the soldered larger

[@ShapingSilver]

It may be my lack of routine, but I am always concerned when "tapping" involves something symmetric and decorative. :-)

[@flyingcheff]

I have heard that UK and USA pronunciation is different with some words; is it oxidation or oxidization; Aluminium or Aluminum; so tuff (or is it tough? LOL) to figure out? Or maybe both? Wondreful video, haven't seen this before. Thanks so much andrew!

[@tammygurl64]

I had fun comparing words while visiting my UK friends. Some words are spelled the same but pronounced differently. There's lots of entertaining videos on the subject. They say celo tape (celo rhymes with Jello) where we Americans say Scotch tape even if it isn't Scotch brand. LOL! In the UK, aluminium is correct and in the US aluminum is correct. Both are talking about the exact same metal but both are spelled AND pronounced differently. One word that was very difficult for my ears to get used to was the word "garage" because over there it's pronounced like carriage but with a "g". Have fun with that! Cheers! 😊

[@wilbertbetoney3448]

What's the part number for the bezel tool ?

[@toolzshed]

whoa cool!

[@dmathivanan1549]

very nice job

[@barbaracovey]

I like this video, very helpful information. I wish you would share the information about the cost of these tools. Was wondering also if this is a paid advertisement or not. 🌝

[@Atthebench]

Robin95 Hi. The cost of the tools are shown in UK sterling on our website. Follow the link in the description. No not a paid advert. An honest review of a brilliant piece of simple but efficient equipment

[@barbaracovey8559]

Thanks for the reply.

[@pattymisch9676]

Thank you for sharing this tool. I have been doing these with dividers, tedious at best!!

[@timthejewler]

Thanks Andrew, much appreciated!

[@renatanowak2987]

Great tutorial,, where can we buy these tools? Within Europe, I live in Greece,,thank you

[@Atthebench]

Rustika Jewellery Try www.andrewberry.co.uk/shop I sell the individual items and the whole kit.

[@Vatsek]

Good idea.

[@afbutler69]

Hi Andrew, I tried to order this system from your website and the form for billing information has the billing country set to the UK, with no way of changing it. The ship to address allowed choosing the USA. However, when trying to pay with PayPal, your form stopped the transaction demanding a correct postcode for my billing address in the UK. So, I couldn’t purchase this system. Please advise.

[@Atthebench]

Arthur Butler hi We are only shipping to the UK at the moment. We are looking to ship overseas very shortly

[@afbutler69]

Andrew Berry Thanks.

[@Atthebench]

Hi Worldwide shipping is now available at www.andrewberry.co.uk/shop/

[@DockterWho]

How long does it take a professional jeweler, such as yourself, to produce such a ring?

[@Atthebench]

I could teach you to do this in a day. No problem.

[@Skidz1340]

I’ve noticed you don’t capture your silver from sawing. Is there a reason you do not?

[@Atthebench]

ROBIN SHANE Hi, I alway do catch my lemel and save it in a container. It’s just that can’t see the tray in the film.

[@rwhughes47]

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO !!

[@artistcg]

What about the BezelEase tool by Pepetools? Has anyone tried that? Perhaps tried both for a comparison?

[@Atthebench]

I have that too but haven’t done a video on it yet
