Welcome to our EtsyMetal monthly Blog Carnival!
Blog Carnival is about a group of our members sharing their experience on a common topic.
This months topic is our favourite tools!
This is probably one of my most favourite topics, I love tools! and I love having a nosey around others peoples studios too see what they are using.
So here are some of my tools, some I use every day and others get used less frequently but I still wouldn't want to be without them.
My saw: obviously for me this is an important one, I use it almost every time I make something and this one is a old Knew Concepts one.
Disc cutters: I use this a lot too and I recently had one custom made especially for me, it's amazing and I want to get more!
Dapping/ doming set: I use this mainly for my post earrings.
Ring stretcher/ reducer: another useful tool to have if you make a lot of rings, I mainly use the reducer when I have gone a bit overboard with my hammering.
Torches: I use 2, a big jumbo one and this cute little dremel which is perfect for tiny things like jump rings.
Rolling mill: SO I have had this mini mill for about a 1 and a half years and I never use it; mainly because I obliterate everything I put through it! I need to spend some more time with it as I want to do some pattern rolling at some point in the future.
My bench: Of course my beloved bench is one of my most favourite things, can you call it a tool? probably not, but I love it and there is a whole other post about it here.
So that's a quick look at my tools and what I use on a day to day basis, check other members of the Etsymetal team to see their favourite tools.
