Great instructable!

Even thought I wouldn't use the hooks for jewelry (since I'm severely allergic to nickel), I would in fact follow your directions for they are well written and can easily be used for other purposes.

Great idble!!! :D

For jump rings, the tool you have in the pictures is actually the nest tool for making decent sized jump rings. Simply wrap the wire around the largest round part just before the tool squares :] and of course snip just as you over lap. I make plenty of jump rings this way myself, granted they arent too big but they work :]

If you are having trouble finding/making jump rings check out some of the the chainmail instructables. All basic weaves use jump rings and they are very easy to make with a simple piece of round stock, or a wooden dowel rod and a length of wire. Simply wrap the wire around the rod until you form a spring and then snip the rings one by one to form perfectly round jump rings. With very little time you can have enough rings to last for weeks.
