Hiya Lady Stardust, how are you doing. I love this setup, I've cut myself a few times before learning the best way from a book, a shame I can't remember which book. I use a complete set of knitting pins, (Needles), In 1mm increments. I fit them in my battery drill and poke the wire in the chuck as you yourself do. I then run the drill at a very slow speed feeding in the wire with my other hand, tight close fitting coils work best to give you the correct size jump rings. I then cut them, again the same way you do from the inside out, this was where I used to cut my fingers. The cutting jig looks so good, though if I had one I think I would continue to make my coils the same way. I use beeswax for manual sawing, so I would try it on these too. Thank you for sharing this with us from your new studio, I'm glad to see this first video of thousands. Well done and stay safe, Steve...

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been toiling over making jump rings for the last two weeks or so. Apparently, I’m not doing something correctly, because I’ve sliced my left thumb at least 4-5 times now….My instructor says I’m not sawing straight and thus my jump rings don’t close properly and have plenty of tool marks from me wrangling with them. I won’t even talk about soldering them. They look really bad. I will try your sawing from the inside out. I’ve also ordered two parallel pliers with nylon jaws to help with tool marks. What can I do to learn how to saw straight??? It’s disheartening.

That tool looks super handy! Do you buy ready made wire and silver sheets or make your own? Buying them ready seems like the most convenient thing and i really wanted to do that, but the jeweller i’m training under said that you lose a lot of money buying wire. I’m interested to see what you think 😄

I can’t believe all the videos out there showing the hardest, most awkward and un-uniform way to make jumprings. Get yourself a freaking powerdrill and some dowel rods or knitting needles. Hold the wire with a polishing cloth and run the drill at the slowest speed. No way are you professionals coiling jump rings by hand.
@TheArtOfMetalsmithing Жыл бұрын
It's ok, Elaine, don't worry :) These are some of the ways. It's good to have options, your way is also good, but let's chill a bit, this is supposed to be fun. Plenty of professionals are doing things their own way, I see no reason to bash anyone here.
