Five Funky Bails: Spice up your pendants!

[@doracarrington9219]

They look quite fiddly to do but as a beginner, what good practice to learn and control the soldering side of things. Much much nicer than just a jump ring - love them all! 😊

Thanks for sharing more of your designs Chad. I like these especially the bi-concave and the art deco ones and will most likely make them all. Keep em coming!

Thanks Bill! Hope things are well with you over there!

Great video. This channel needs more attention.

[@chadssilversmithing]

I agree, thanks for watching 22nola:)

The bent loop is a remarkably good idea!
Can put some of my past mistakes to work, bezels that were too small.
Thank you for another great video.

[@lauralimb9236]

Enjoy watching. It starts my creativity flowing. I am having a difficult time opening the Combo pack. Any suggestions?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Hello Laura. Is the email you used when you bought it a good email to send you a link to download a different version?

[@OldManandtheSuperC]

Cool

[@chadssilversmithing]

Thanks OldManandtheSuperC!

[@cathysiegel3090]

Hi Chad, for the art deco bail, did you file part of the half round wire to make it look graduated?

[@chadssilversmithing]

Yes Cathy. I used 8 gauge half round filed into a taper. You could get a steeper angle if you used a larger gauge:)

[@cryseldaventer8567]

Hi Chad, Why did you solder the pieces separately? and not in one go? Cryselda

[@chadssilversmithing]

From my experience, when soldering multiple small components, if I do them all at once, it is harder to keep them all positioned where they are supposed to stay if they can all freely move around. If I do it in stages there are fewer pieces I can accidentally knock out of position:)
