Indian Flute - wooden
We bought these flutes some time ago for a project that didn't materialize. There are approximately 38 of them. If someone is interested in them all, we will sell them for $7.95 each. They originally retailed for $14.95 & that was several years ago. A flute player tried one out in our showroom one day - the flute had a beautiful sound. If interested in the "lot", please call.

WigJig Tools
|
|
|
WigJig Olympus
The transparent Olympus has the largest work space of any WigJig, allowing you to make large wire designs for pendants, sun catchers, paper arts designs, bracelets and much more. It is the thickest of our jigs, and works extremely well in a vise. It is clearly the jig of choice for serious wire designers. The Olympus Jig has 481 holes, 20 movable pegs (10 are 5/8" long and 10 are 3/4" long, 3/32" diameter) plus wire working tips and instructions. 5" x 5".
|
|
|
|
WigJig Delphi
The transparent Delphi has smaller pegs and closer holes than the Olympus. Accordingly, designs made on the Delphi are smaller and more delicate. This is a great addition to the Olympus jigs since it facilitates making matching sets of jewelry. For example, smaller earring components can be made on the Delphi to match larger necklace / bracelet links made on the Olympus. It also works very well for paper arts designs. Includes jig with 181 holes, 20 metal pegs (1/16" diameter), and wire designing tips. 3" x 3".
|
|
|
|
WigJig Cyclops
Smaller complimentary version to Electra. Smaller holes to make finer designs. 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
