Wire Jewelry Tool Tip for November 30th 2016
Clamps for Jewelry Making
by Judy Larson
Today’s tip is very simple – but very useful! Do you ever need to keep your jewelry held tightly in one place? If so, take a look at this quick tip from Judy!
Judy Says:
These clamps were purchased at a dollar store, which do not come with padded jaws.
The pads I attached to the jaws are thick self-stick felt circles that are used on the bottom of lamps, vases, etc. I cut them to fit the jaws of the clamps after I attached them, but you can also do it before.
Take a look at a few of the tools we carry on Wire Jewelry that also might be helpful:
Small Rubber Head 3 Inch Quick Clamp
Self-locking quick clamp. Holding jaws with rubber to prevent wire from being scratched. Use this to hold wires together. Forget about the messy tape and use the quick clamp.
1 Inch Baby Bench Vise with Fixed Base – Clamp Type
Small, mini hobby vise with a table clamp attached. Clamps on the side of your desk or bench
