If you need to make jump rings (for the #metalsmithchallenge ๐Ÿ˜‰) you can create your own tool by soldering a washer to a rod. The washer will make the rod easier to secure in a vise. From there you can wrap your wire. Also featured in this image are knitting needles which are also handy to wrap wire around. Iโ€™ve definitely picked up anything lying around my studio when Iโ€™ve needed to make jump rings ๐Ÿ˜‚ This image was borrowed from a book entitled โ€œChain Mail Jewelryโ€ by Terry Taylor & Dylon White - if you are into chain mail that book has some cool projects๐Ÿ˜Ž #metalsmithsociety #chainmaking #chainmakingtools #jewelrymakingtools #diyjewelrymakingtools #benchjeweler #modifiedjewelerstools
