Welding is one of the most fascinating techniques in creating handmade jewellery, but to achieve perfect results, it is essential to have the right heat control. In this video, Giorgia Black and Wire shows us how the three-legged support with mesh can become a valuable ally in metalworking.

Many goldsmiths and artisans use the classic refractory brick as a base for welding, but this can "steal" heat, slowing down the process and making the heating of the pieces less uniform. The three-legged support with mesh, on the other hand, allows for more effective heating of the metals, making welding faster and more precise.

In the video, Giorgia guides us step by step showing:

  • The difference between welding on refractory brick and on a three-legged support.
  • How heat distributes more evenly across the mesh, improving the result.
  • The advantages of the support for both metal firing and the working of settings and slabs.
