I have a few questions about the ring clamp I hope can be answered. Where do you buy them? I’ve never one before. How long are they, and how big aroung are they? Would it be possible to have a clamp of some kind, hold it while working? I am disabled too. I only have the use of my left hand. I want so much to expand my jewelry making skills.

I want to thank Kat for this suggestion, it has made my jewelry making not only easier, but less painful.

I have MS and my dominant side is “challenged.” I will try the ring clamp tip. In the meantime, thanks for addressing the issue of challenges.

I have one of those clamps and have never used it. Now I know I can weave wire easily using it. I can’t thank you enough !

I have recently been learning weaving and adore the look (and structural security) it can give, but due to a chronic illness, my hands very quickly become so painful that I can not continue. I will be ordering a ring clamp staright away!
