How to Use a Ring Stick
Knowing your Jewelry Making Tools and Their Proper Usage will not only save you time, but will raise your profit as you’ll be able to work faster. The more that you become familiar with the tools of the trade the better you’ll become.
Have you attempted weaving a bead ring? Getting the right ring size is a challenge if you have tried.You can adjust the size of the ring band by adding beads or reducing beads on the band part of the ring. Bear in mind, there are still tiny variations in size that when taken all together will affect the size of the band you are weaving even if they seem like the same size in your eyes.
Are you having difficulties getting your preferred band size? It’s quite annoying, isn’t it? But you can avoid this type of difficulty with help from a Ring stick.
It is a stick, as the name suggest, that’s slender at the top and gets gradually wider going down the stick. The size of the ring is determined through which part of the stick it stopped when you put it in the stick. The ring size is the same as the size of the width of the stick.
This is significant when you’re weaving a ring because you need to pinpoint the size of the ring band before you eventually finish the band. If you had at first connected the band to the opposite side of the ring, next thing you need to do is to put the ring on the ring stick to check its size.
If there isn’t any difficulty with the size of the ring, you have nothing more to do than to finish the band. However, if the size is too large, attempt to disconnect the band and scale back the number of beads in the pattern. You must disconnect the band and increase the pattern to increase its size if it is too tiny.
You can see the great use of a ring stick in saving your time while weaving a ring band. It is strongly recommended to use a wooden ring stick rather than the metal one. The latter can cause scratches over the crystal beads.
As with all tools that you use it’s vital to be safe when working with them and learning some basic Safety Tips in Jewelry Making is important to make sure that you don’t hurt yourself or accidentally harm somebody else. This is not only for when you are using high temperature torches when making handmade glass beads, but all tools in the wrong hands or used improperly can be deadly.
When you have finished working for the day ensure that you place your tools in a secure place, this can also make sure that when you start work the following day they are simple to find. There is nothing more maddening than having to delay work because you have misplaced a tool.
