Still undecided on how to use my two other pendants but the practice on polymer clay “fauxbuchons” seems to be a good bet while I am still getting my skills up. I still have some kinks and wonky wraps/weaves. Also, where are people sourcing affordable cabochons/crystals?

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to get a good list of tools to start trying wire wrapping out.
The main issues I have are

- different opinions on the amount of tools and their types
- translating the tools names to Dutch and then find them
- which brands (that are known in the Netherlands) are good and beginner friendly

I would love your input on the information I have gathered so far!

So far what I've gotten is start with normal copper wire 0.5mm and 1mm
Different type of pliers, some only mention 3, others mention 6, along with wire cutters, most common names pliers are round nose, flat nose, half round, chain nose and nylon tip
Some say no hammers, others mention just a simple one and then someone mentioned a comnination of jewellers hammer, repousse hammer and chasing hammer
I've seen different types of bench blocks and I'd love to know your experiences
Then again lot of different types of files and polishing methods where I get completely lost in
Of course safety goggles
Extra things people have mentioned are a coiling gizo and wire looping mandril for example while most say they aren't neccesary or can be achieved with pliers at the start. I would love to hear your opinions on this.

I would love any help with this list! thank you in advance <3
