Here is a tip for protecting your metal while forming! Here I’m using the amazing
@pepetools_usa Superior Ring Bending Tool - I bought a 1/16” urethane pad and cut a strip to accompany my wire! As my video shows you can form your rings without worrying about marring your metal! Having urethane pad pieces can also help you hold things in a vice without marring, it can be a surface to use your steel block on or disc cutter as well (in that case in protects the bottom of your tool/your work surface). Really useful stuff! You can buy from Amazon (I’ll link in my Amazon Storefront) what other uses have you found? Anyone else have this amazing bending tool? It’s been so incredibly useful in my ring making, especially this 5mm x 2mm rectangular wire! 🙏🏻
