As lot of ppl say when working in silver you gave to hear the whole piece to bring it up to soldering temperature. You don’t seem to do that. Do you find it unnecessary?

[@johnfranklin8147]

Why would you round off the *bar* to match the internal curvature? What I do, is just cut and file flat, fractionally too large. And then file very slightly with a square needle file. Much easier to get a precise flat; quicker. And as long as it is a tight fit (and you want that anyway), the solder join will be invisible anyway.

I'm guessing that it's down to a high standard of training.

[@johnfranklin8147]

Disagree. The outcome is identical, as long as the fit is tight, doesn’t matter which side you shape as long as it matches the other.
