Crystal myths by Lewis Wilson has Kevin O Grady demo on making braclets very good video if just for that one braclet demo.

Jacks are good for opening vessels or jacking down bottle necks and the such. Make sure you have bees wax on them so they don't stick to your glass, find a local hot shop and go watch them use there jacks, thats what helped me. If you give up on them I will take them off your hands:D

You could even rent a hot shop video from smartflix. Chances are you'll learn a lot there, or perhaps in a goblet video.
