For making jewelry the WigJig way we divide the tools required into a few basic categories.  We have hand tools
and our WigJig tools.  We also have mandatory tools and optional tools.  Let's start with a discussion of the hand
tools required.

The mandatory hand tools required are shown below.  You will not be successful in making jewelry without these
four jewelry making hand tools.  You can find a flush cutter, round nose pliers and chain nose and bent chain nose
tools in one of our beginners tool kits.

The recommended jewelry making hand tools are the following:

 Nylon Jaw Pliers (for straightening wire and flattening wire components)
 Ruler (for measuring wire) (not shown)
 Step Jaw Pliers (for making loops with standard sizes)
 Chasing Hammer (for hardening wire components)
 Anvil or Bench Block (for hardening wire components)
 Cup Bur (for rounding the end/removing the burrs on cut wire)
 Loop Closing or Bent Closing Pliers (for closing loops)

Finally, as you can imagine, we recommend a WigJig jewelry making jig.  For making jewelry our best and most
versatile jig is our WigJig Centaur.  We also recommend a selection of Super Pegs for the jig you choose and
perhaps the Spiral Maker for the jig you choose.  If you choose the WigJig Centaur, the Super Pegs and Spiral
Maker for the Delphi would be the appropriate set.  You can view more information on jewelry making jigs
here.  You can view information on selecting a jig here.
