3. Now set the coil (which you just inserted onto the blade) into jump ring side of the jig. The cool part of this tool is that it has a place for the rings to just sit in place so you don’t have to worry about the coil moving around in your fingers. You still need to hold the coil, but it moves much less. (If you check the Rio Grande tool catalog, you’ll see some good, up-close pictures of both jigs.)
