    Default Claw making jig

    Morning,

    Months ago I bought a claw making jig, but have never been able to figure out how to use the darn thing! It didn't come with any kind of guide and I am now throwing myself at the mercy of the intelligent bods on the forum!

    Thanks

    Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    I have looked for a jig for you on the web, but to no avail. I am not sure if these two links below may help, but am sure others will come along and help out!

    Did you buy it secondhand? If there is a manufacturers mark on it you may be able to contact them and ask for a copy of the instructions?

    This one here says it comes with instructions Claw Jig

    Thanks everyone,the riddle of the jig has now been solved, thanks Peter for the link, it was of course obvious, but I had it my head that it was going to do something far more glamourous than just hold the wire in place, oh well !!

    Nicci - thanks for the good advice... I bought it from Cooksons and was going to ask them, but thought that someone here may have one and used one before, so called in at our friendly one-stop helpshop first!!

    I use different sized colletts from a dremmel help in a large pin vice, you can get different sizes, cheap as chips and works everytime.
