In the garage is a workbench with my vice and torch to anneal and do heavier metal work...
While up in the attic I ran across a big container full of vintage silverware I've collected from auctions and flea markets over the years. While looking through it I suddenly got an idea for a jewelry piece! So, I picked out a nice fork, ran downstairs and started to work...
I have a large collection of hammers, sheers, pliers and files but, these are the ones I always reach for. I'm always on the look-out for different hammers and cool tools...
My favorite pliers! Last year I splurged and bought myself a set of Lindstrom pliers. The coveted Lindstrom pliers are made in Sweden and are world renowned, known by jewelers for consistently high quality, superior design and manual sensitivity.
