Did you know as well as being delicious, it's also a handy soldering surface?

Laura @silvertongue_jewellery was struggling to get her prongs attached to her bezel and ring shank straight and tight last week, so I suggested she bring a potato to class 🥔

The potato not only holds fiddly things in place, it also acts as a heat sink to protect any areas you don't want to melt.

Helping you achieve perfect prongs!

Potatoes are effective, cheap, accessible and can be used for so many soldering and casting jobs.

Who else loves a bit of #potatosoldering ?” Fun fact, I started Metalsmith Society the same year an old coworker shared this exact tip with me. So it warms my heart anytime I share it! Thanks Kim!!! #metalsmithsocietyshare #makingjewelry #soldering #solderingjewelry
