First up in your silversmithing tools starter kit is titanium soldering clamps. Easily sculpted, these titanium strips can be bent and moulded into an exact shape to form a clamp that will help you keep the precious metal you\u2019re working on in place as you solder \u2013 whether it\u2019s a bezel setting or a delicate ear wire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of using these titanium clamps<\/a>? They can be used however you like \u2013 as stands and sturdy clamps \u2013 to hold metal pieces firmly in place, ensuring a safer working environment. And even when you drop solder pallions on them, it can be removed by pickling without any worry of contaminating the metal that you\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Charcoal block with crucible channel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not only is charcoal ideal for soldering on due to its heat reflective properties, but it also creates a very clean soldering environment \u2013 making it the ideal silversmith equipment to avoid contamination and unnecessary mess. It has been used by jewellers for years as it also provides a reducing atmosphere \u2013 this means that it absorbs excess oxygen from around the piece helping you to reduce fire scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular charcoal block<\/a> takes that benefit one step further with a crucible channel that creates the perfect environment for soldering, and also has an additional benefit of functioning as a pouring channel, reducing any wastage when you melt small amounts of scrap metal down for repairs or reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Soldering trivet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So you\u2019re free to solder without worrying about material getting permanently stuck to the trivet. More importantly, it has slow thermal conductivity unlike traditional iron trivets \u2013 so you can concentrate on the metal you\u2019re soldering and not the trivet that\u2019s supporting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture this \u2013 you\u2019ve reached the point where you\u2019ve finished soldering. Now comes the long process of buffing and polishing, switching mops so that you don\u2019t cross contaminate your harder polishing compounds with your jeweller\u2019s rouge, and changing each mop in turn as you use your motor polisher.
