Reply to comment by Adiwik in An armlet I made with just wire and a gemstone. by Buffyferry

my hunch is that work on these items are outsourced to local artisans and not made by the shop owner herself

​

I'm happy to be corrected though. I would like to see the wire working rigs!

Rigs? Pliers, hands and dedication.

There's your rig.

I make wire trees. Same thing. Snips for cutting, hemostats with the serrations covered so it doesn't dent the metal for tougher bends and round nose serrationless pliers for more delicate bending

Well with all the people constantly posting their metalworking and shit like that on here they never do Post the vids of them doing it, and surely someone want to keep their technique secret or whatever but that's not what I'm asking for
