Tools every Jewelry Maker Must Own

One of the great things about making jewelry is that you need very few tools. You can start with just a few and add to your workbench as your skills and focus grow.What I consider mandatory hand tools required are listed below. You cannot be successful in making jewelry without these four jewelry making hand tools. You can find a flush cutter, round nose pliers and chain nose and bent chain nose tools in the kits and setsI sell here on okay.Flush Cutter (for cutting wire)Round Nose Pliers (for making loops)Chain Nose and Bent Chain Nose Pliers (2) (for grasping, holding and bending wire, closing loops and more)As you begin to make more jewelry, I suggested you consider adding the following tools to your collection:Nylon Jw Pliers (for straightening wire and flattening wire geponents)Step Jaw Pliers (for making loops with standard sizes)Chasing Hammer(for hardening wire geponents)Anvil or Bench Block (for hardening wire geponents and shaping metal)Cup Bur, also known as Wire Rounder (for rounding the end/removing the burrs on cut wire) I also regemend a Wig Jigjewelry making jig. For making jewelry the most versatile jig is the Cwntaur.I also regemend a selection of Super Pegsand the Spiral Makerfor the jig you choose.One last gement: always buy the best tools you can afford. Quality tools will make your work easier and faster and of higher quality. Cheap tools will have to be replaced over and over while quality tools will last a lifetime.
