Dedicated to the concept that art is meant to be lived!

In order to help folks in the future to see more 'up front' what you can use or devise for tools in the fabrication of light metals such as silver, gold, copper and brass,
I have decided to include a selection of pictures to illustrate some of those tools and accessories

This set consists of a homemade tabletop bench, a soldering stand with torch fire-brick, borax flux muller, clamp-on vise, jeweler's saw with #0000 blades, bench pin,
round-nose and flat-jaw pliers, hobby type twist drill with .020 bit, needle files, 3/8" burnisher, end-cut wire cutter, bench block (anvil). And in the bottom rt. drawer are a
ruler in inches and cm/mm, a ring mandrel, and size key along with a flannel polishing cloth, and marking scriber. This is a SMALL list.
|

basic set, the most fundamental of tools.
|

Ring mandrels, a hand-forged box-mandrel, bench-blocks, mini-anvils, circle punces, and dapping block with punches to match concave shapes.

|

A more complete set of the Basic tools.

Camp-stove style bottle and handpiece with pencil tip extension good for smaller items and delicate work in silver or copper.
