On the following pages you will find information on the materials that I work with:
Actual processes are discussed on the techniques page.
Thistle Brooch under construction. The shiny, top portion has been fired while the bottom stems and leaves are not.
Hi Karon, I’m not sure which tool you mean? There’s the Bergeon Tubing Cutters, (http://www.riogrande.com/Product/Bergeon-Tubing-Cutters/113000?pos=2), The tube-holding and cutting pliers: http://www.riogrande.com/Product/Tube-Holding-and-Cutting-Pliers/111233?pos=3 and the miter cutting jig: http://www.riogrande.com/Search/miter-cutting?page=GRID. Hopefully, one of these will work. The hardware store doesn’t carry these specialty tools. All the links are to Rio Grande Jewelry. Good luck and I hope this is what you meant – if not let me know! Take care and thanks for the lovely comments. Nancy
Nancy,
I found you!! What a great site and all your great videos! I want to learn to tube rivet. Watched your video. Wanted that really great tube holding tool and cutter. Went to the hardware store and tried to” expain one” — got the deer in the head lite look. Can you tell me what they are called so I can ask for one?
Thanks
Karon
Hi Molly, Thank you so much! You wrote a wonderful comment and I appreciate it! Nancy
