Jewelry making tools - images and names

Very helpful for beginners!

My 2 cents for all those interested in wire jewelry:

The tools you absolutely need to start off with:
- Round nose pliers - Used for making loops, and spirals
- Flush cutters - Used for cutting wire
- Chain nose pliers - Most important - Lots of uses in wire work and beading
- Nylon jaw pliers - For straightening wire before working with it
- Flat nose pliers - Not as essential, but useful for holding and shaping wire components

Once you have these 5, you can start making wire jewelry! After this you can start collecting the important but non essential tools - such as 'files' to file the ends of your wires, step nose pliers, long nose needle pliers etc.

If anyone has any questions on this, feel free to ask me, I'll definitely try to help!
