All you need is some wire and a few hand tools, very inexpensive. There is also another extremely helpful tool that can end up saving you massive frustration and a lot of money in wire costs: a wire straightener. The easiest way to straighten jewelry wire is yep, with a wire straightener tool. Unfortunately, I was several years into making jewelry before I discovered nylon soft jaw pliers (the wire straightener tool). These pliers have square, flat, plastic tips on them.
A handheld tool called a graver is often used in preference to a slide mounted tool. The original watchmaker's turns was a simple dead-center lathe with a moveable rest and two loose head-stocks. The workpiece would be rotated by a bow, typically of horsehair, wrapped around it. workpiece may be mounted on a mandrel, or circular work clamped in a three-or four-jaw chuck. For irregular shaped workpieces it is usual to use a four jaw (independent moving jaws) chuck. These holding devices mount directly to the Lathe headstock spindle.
