Jewelry finding master hub shown mounted in a "saddled" die ball with an assortment of Numa Guyot's hand held hub and die cutting gravers.
Jewelry findings hub with an additional cross section Numa's
gravers.
Note the shape of the graver at about 11 o'clock. Another hub or die cutting
"tool"
was and still is a jewelers loupe.
The next three photos are of a die cutters ball in a "saddle". Note how easy it is to achieve just the correct angle for the work being done. This saves a lot of time and effort for the craftsman. This ball weights about 35 lbs and provides good stability.
This photo is of the die balls "saddle". It is basically a leather bean bag with a indent in it. The indent is made by the ball itself insuring it to be exactly the right fit.
