A tip from @chrisbolanddesigns on soldering a locating wire to one piece, threading it through the next, then filing it flush.

Here is a soldering tip from @chrisbolanddesigns - “Using a locating wire can really help with positioning elements before soldering. The wire is first soldered onto one piece, then fed through the second before soldering. The locating wire is then filed flush.” Thank you so much Chris for allowing me to share this! Such a useful technique 😁 #solderingsilver #solderingtip #solderingnest
