Having a central soldering point also really helps the whole thing not fall over when heat is applied πŸ˜‚β€ this is a great tip for those attempting our #metalsmithchallenge this month (Prong Setting is the theme πŸ’) #metalsmithsociety #prongsetting #workinprogress #jewelrytipoftheday #solderingtip #jewelrymakingtips
