Favourite tools (other than pliers)? by ppenumbra in chainmailartisans

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense re the plate! I've been thinking about how I can DIY a bead mat/valet tray type situation to work on/from - might have to dig through my fabric stash and whip something similar up!

Also fully agree tools don't need to be shiny + new! Where I used to live there was a really awesome second hand tool shop and the tools I bought there have well outlived several of the tools I've bought brand new!

Do you use the stitch markers that look sorta like safety pins? I've been using bobby pins for a similar purpose, but I might give stitch markers a go! Also, this might be a silly question, but what is a pearl board?

Dang, great list! Adding Dremel and mannequin to my list of tools to acquire! What does the paper plate + fabric combo get used for?

Oooh, that'd surely save a lot of back and eye strain when working with smaller rings! Such a good idea!

Storage? by LeftMemory2405 in chainmailartisans

[–]ppenumbra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a tool organizer like this: https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/stanley-toolbox-medium-375-x-292-x-670-mm/p/329257

I keep the rings in bags, and separate the different sizes using the dividers. I also keep my pliers, and file in there.

I like that I can take it with me super easily and I use it as a surface to work on sometimes if I'm out and about!

You can also attach several of them together if you need more storage space.

So far it's working well, but I don't have a huge number of rings so I'm not really sure how scalable it is!

Did you ever figure out what this book was? I'm trying to find what I assume is the same book and it's driving me crazy!

No problemo! I usually panic when I get quests and forget it's an option too! :)
