    Could you in theory make a prong setting with wax? I dont see how because you wouldnt be able to put the stone back in, but is it appropriate to for example build up prongs that are still standing up straight, cast that and then push in the prongs? Or is it standard practice to solder on the prongs after casting? Its literally the last question I have about castint and I cant find the answer anywhere 😂

    hey i love your work and your videos and everything around it! i was wondering if you send the wax ring off just like that or do you have to attach that little thing for the casting tree that you need to take off again after it has been cast? (sorry i have no idea what the correct words are for this, hope you can follow) would that be the same process for bigger pieces say like a pendant that is as big as your palm for example? hope it's not rude asking so much in one comment

    So helpful, thank you! When I am melting the wax (soldering iron heats up to around 200 degrees Celsius and is not adjustable) a lot of smoke occurs and it smells really toxic, is that still normal? Do you think a face mask for protection is enough?
