Setting a diamond and welding it safe

[@wildtrout7011]

Like the video, not how I would have done it but I'm always interested to see how others do things and you did a great job. Can I ask if the wire you used is just normal platinum wire? 0.3mm or finer? Also do you have a trick for setting the soot out from behind the diamonds afterwards? I would have much preferred to see the ring in a ring clamp, I would have surely slipped, (I could hardly watch)I guess it was easier to film the whole process in the one spot. Great video.

The wire is usually about 0.25 or 0.3mm and I buy it from a tool/bullion supplier. It is known as Laser Wire. If the ultrasonic doesn't remove the soot, I use one of those electric dental flossing devices that pulses a high pressure water jet. It cost about 35 pounds.
