In this video, Prof. John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy shows viewers how to transform a masonry nail into a setting punch.
A hammer handpiece for the flexible shaft is a tool that can move thick metal bezels and prong in stone setting. But, this flex shaft attachment might be out of your budget. A setting punch made from a masonry nail is an inexpensive way to get the job done. Paired with a work hammer, this simple tool can help you to remove gaps in stone settings to secure stones and improve their appearance.
