Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted January 14, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted January 14, 2012 Excellent results in your tool modification! That is one of the nicer things about this hobby.....you can make your own rules!! Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members DoubleC Posted January 14, 2012 Members Report Posted January 14, 2012 Here are the tools. The ones on the right are the original size. The ones on the left are the ones I ground down. One Beveler and 3 Background. I never cease to be amazed on this site....I mean everyday. I would never think of modifying some of my tools for what I need. Hat off to you (if I had a hat, LOL)for this creative solution. Quote http://www.etsy.com/shop/DoubleCCowgirl
JAM Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 Don't forget about making from scratch. You can start with large nails, spikes, and bolts and grind the heads into your own custom shapes with a belt sander, dremel, and files, one of my favorite flower centers started out as a large nail. You can add fine lines with a gunsmith's checkering file. And you can make modeling tools and petal lifters from 1/4" stainless steel rod. Quote Life is unpredictable; eat dessert first.
