For today’s tip I just wanted to share another use for the @grstools Multi Purpose Vise, you can use it to firmly hold your ring mandrel (or bezel mandrel) while you work. You can also use a regular bench vise for this. Depending on the mandrel I may wrap in leather to protect it from the jaws of the vise. I hope this is helpful! #benchvise #jewelrytools #makingjewelry
