Hexagon Setting Tips from @martindenoch đź’Ž

“Always start with the corners to achieve a nice, smooth setting!” This pro tip will give your hexagon (or any cornered) settings crisp, even edges. I also LOVE the tool he has created which is ideal for gently pushing those flat sides! Thanks for allowing me to share!

Martin also shared a fantastic tip on creating the setting—head to tips.metalsmithsociety.com and search “hexagon” to find that post!
