Making Vice Jaw Protectors - Making Your Own Jewellery

Having an engineers vice in your jewellery workshop is an important tool to have but the jaws do need a bit of protection. Not from what we put into the vice but to protect what we actually put into the vice.

The jaws are usually rough, serrated or heavily textured to help grip but this can cause unwanted marks on our metal or the tools we put into the vice.

Here, in this 5 minutes film, Andrew shows you how to make simple jaw protectors that are quick and easy to make and cheap enough to replace when they too get marked and worn.

Andrew shows you many hints and tips that he has gained from his experience as a professional goldsmith.
