bartley Posted April 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Some great tools for our hobby are available from Jewellery supply stores. Amongst the tools I have bought from such outlets over the years include: Swiss quality needle nosed pliers: bending mandrels: These cone shaped sanding tools (5mm tip on this one): Vallorbe files: Particularly this Barrett style file which you will notice has no teeth on the sides: Tube cutting jig: Knew Concept Saw Copper wire: As well as silver soldering equipment and small ultrasonic cleaners (great for cleaning files and small brass parts). If you live in Australia, Australian Jeweller's Supply has a store in every capital city and they have an online outlet as well John Edited April 18, 2021 by bartley druxey, Sasha131, Moab and 5 others 8 Quote Current Build: Medway Longboat Completed Builds: Concord Stagecoach HM Cutter Cheerful Royal Caroline Schooner for Port Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cleek Posted April 18, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 18, 2021 Oh yeah! Definitely! Professional jewelry supply houses, and medical and dental instrument supply houses are goldmines full of useful modeling tools and supplies, generally at higher quality and even at lower prices that the "hobby" online suppliers.
