Jewellery or Jewelry Tools

What you need to get started in Jewellery Making!

by John Volney

Jewellery or jewelry making can be quite tool try, Copper Collectibles intensive but you can get started with very little and although jewellery or jewelry tools also see, Famous Robots tend to be more expensive, because they are specialised, you can find makeshift equivalents in hardware try, Free Crochet Patterns & tool try, Multiplex RC Models shops.

For example, instead of a specialist hammer that you would use for planishing, you can adapt a ballpane hammer by shaping & smoothing the hammering faces. Or round nosed pliers, that are commonly used to make jump rings, may be found very cheaply in the large hardware have a look at, Aquacraft stores for a few dollars.

Rather than using a whole hand torch with a gas also see, Cape Malay recipe for tomato soup bottle set-up which requires a regulator and all that outlay. It's common to use a handheld canister-style blow torch or even the mini refillable torches in which you use a cigarette lighter refill canister to fill the torch with gas. try, South African BBQ lamb and lentils These cost tens of dollars instead of hundreds of dollars.

Then you need a bench. try, Thank you for your registration The important thing to remember with making jewellery or jewlry is that you need a good sitting position so that you're not hunched over your work piece and straining your neck, back & shoulders. As an approximate guide; an easy way to gage the correct height for your bench have a look at, Asian Antiques is this. Sit in a normal chair try, DIY Heating Plumbing with your back straight and then put your elbows on your work bench, why not visit, Collectible Coin Banks with your hands flat have a look at, RC Aeroplane in front of you. Your hands should be level with the middle of your chest.

Any high bench , Doll House Games is suitable so long as you can clamp a jeweller's peg to the front of it which will act as you main working area. From this peg you can fabricate, file and saw your jewellery piece.

You also need something to solder on, like a charcoal block or a heat also see, Railroad Collectibles resistant tile. look at, Clue

Then you need a metal look at, Brewing Standard Cider and Perry at Home to make jewellery with which can be silver, gold, copper, have a look at, NASCAR Diecast brass etc. Also you'll need solder and flux for soldering the metal also look at, South African BBQ lamb and lentils together.
