Cerridwyn1st Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I used to keep my tools in my tool box. It seemed I spend so much time digging I didn't have time to work. I've gotten a couple of things lately that have helped a lot. Two items were from a Beading Supply Store. One is a large purple zip-case for Beading Tools that came emptly. The other was a smaller case that came with a set of mini tools. The empty is now filled with my full sized beeding/wire cutting tools. I'm thinking of getting another one, since the first is full and I still have more tools... sigh. Also, Michaels had a set of brushes with a canvas roll-up on sale for $4. That was $3 off the regular price. I bought the set and promplty tossed the brushes in my Demo Tub. It was the roll-up I was after. I now use the roll up for my tweezers, files, emery boards, filing twigs, pokey things, Wax 9 and other sculpting tools, and dental tools. It's AWESOME! I can find my sculpting tools when I need them without digging throught the tool box. I also found out something handy about my sculpting/dental tools. After a while working with two-part epoxies like Apoxysculpt and Green Stuff, my tools were kind of gunky and scratched. It was tough to smooth sculpting material the way I wanted. I found that I could use fine and ultrafine grit sandpaper to rub off most the gunk, then smooth the tools again with a nail buffer. My tools look like new again.

anvil Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm guessing that the broke leg has left you with some extra time on your hands? Did you get me one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivrel Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Actually, those tools were organised before she broke her leg. It's just that she decided to post it when she broke her leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to be more considerate the next time the things go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Indeed, is that any way to treat the old man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
