How To Use Bent Nose Pliers For Jewelry Construction

September 28, 2012 by Ashley Bunting 1 Comment

How to use bent nose pliers in jewelry making.

If you’re looking for a versatile tool that can help you with various jewelry-making tasks, the Xuron® 450BN Bent Nose Pliers are a great option. These pliers have tips bent at a 450° angle, making them ideal for opening and closing jump rings with your hands in a comfortable position. They’re also great for making closed-wrapped loops, working in tight areas, or handling small objects. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced jewelry maker, bent nose pliers are an essential tool to have in your collection.

In the short video below, we’ll show you how to use the 450BN to make closed-wrapped loops, how to attach the loop to your chain directly or with a jump ring, and how to easily open and close jump rings.

Note that although the beginning of the video is not well-lit, after the introduction (at about the 27-second mark), the camera points directly at the work area, and the lighting is immediately better.

iHobby Expo 2012 – Will Cleveland “Rock”?

August 20, 2012 by Abby Robey 3 Comments

iHobby Expo

When I first heard that the HMA (Hobby Manufacturer’s Association) was moving the annual iHobby Expo from Chicago (Rosemont), Illinois to Cleveland, Ohio, I was, to say the least underwhelmed.  That feeling, however, lasted about 5 minutes.  I had to put aside my “creature of habit” attitude and realize that a new venue is good for everyone — especially the consumers in the Cleveland area that will have the opportunity to experience this event and meet with major hobby product manufacturers (like Xuron Corp)!
