@shop_kajsjewelry solders two wires in an X, then forms the arches around her piece so the prongs land exactly where she wants.

Here is another prong hack from @shop_kajsjewelry she solders an X with two wires, then she forms the arches around her piece. - βI find that that way I can adjust the prongs to the exact spot that I want them to βlandβ on the piece. Having a central soldering point also really helps the whole thing not fall over when heat is applied πβ this is a great tip for those attempting our #metalsmithchallenge this month (Prong Setting is the theme π) #metalsmithsociety #prongsetting #workinprogress #jewelrytipoftheday #solderingtip #jewelrymakingtips
