Thank you! Made some with 14 g and 18g. Gout out my jewelers saw for the first time. Broke the first blade trying to pull it out from the middle of coil. And I forgot to lubricate. Used a 1/0 blade. Second time used 2/0 blade, lubricated and made 8 nice ones!! Would love a video on soldering jump rings. Thank you, Wendy!
That's great! Using a saw does take some practice, but the results are so worth the effort. I'll see about that soldering video. Thanks for the request!
Terrific tut, as always. Very informative and detailed. Actually got me a bit excited, knowing the trick about how to make jump rings much more "cohesive" and trimmed cleanly...great tips!
My favorite source stopped carrying copper rings years ago. They only sell precious metal rings now, and I'm not sure if they're even selling to the public these days. They may only be doing wholesale. But you can try them if you're looking for silver or gold rings: Urban Maille. I also linked to some other reliable sources for copper rings in the description of this video. So be sure to check those out as well. I haven't bought any jump rings in years, though. I have some left over from my chain weaving days. And, on the rare occasion when I don't have the size I need on hand, I'll either make my own rings or I'll come up with an alternate solution, like wrapped loop connectors.
My super flush cutters are Swanstrom tools. I bought my 4-piece set of Swanstrom pliers from Rio Grande, which is one of the only places that I know of that carries that brand. I like mine a lot, but I often wish they had narrower jaws that could get into tighter spaces. That's the only thing I'd change about my super flush cutters. Ironically, I feel like my chain nose and round nose pliers are too narrow. They have needle sharp tips! The three top brands for pro-grade pliers that I know of are Tronex, Lindstrom, and Swanstrom. And those are probably listed in order of current popularity. Rio Grande carries both Swanstrom and Lindstrom tools. Tronex tools are readily available on Amazon, and you can often find Lindstrom tools there as well. I can't vouch for either of those brands because I've never owned them. But both brands have great reviews. Wherever you buy them, do shop around because the prices can vary quite a bit!
@@nanstombaugh8394 you're very welcome. Let me know which brand you decide to go with and how you like them! I might have to try out some Tronex tools to see if they really live up to the hype.
