Fixing before soldering
Fixing workpieces with spot welds instead of binding wire or clamps before soldering them has many advantages.
The fixed parts cannot slip under any circumstances, and there is no risk of anything falling off again when re-soldering.

Settings for rectangular stones can easily be cut to the correct length by attaching the side parts to the stone and then stapling them.
Place the welding points at the two ends that will be sawn off later anyway.
