A set of 3 versatile brass tools. Each has 2 different ends - so 6 tools in all!
These double-ended tools are wonderful - even if I say so myself!!! Great for encasing, poking, pushing, prodding, sculptural work etc etc etc. The brass just grabs the hot glass and moves it where you want it. 4mm wide and approx 7.5" long they sit easy in your hand and you'll find yourself reaching for them all the time. Each one is hand ground and finished to a high standard.
Note;Each tool is hand made by me, to order, so postage may take a little longer, up to an extra week. I will contact you via email if this is the case. Anything else you have ordered will be posted out immediately so there will be no delay on the rest of your order. Postage on this item (if bought alone) is FREE!

This video(PAL) comes with a booklet to accompany the content.
This is an interesting video by Pam East all about making beads from enamels of different grades. This isn't strictly glass beadmaking as most people know it, but it does provide a different angle and a springboard for new ideas. The author uses a brazing type torch, but obviously a HotHead or similar, or a `proper' glass torch would be prefered equipment.
Please, remember that although the video does not mention protective glasses, or annealling - these matters should never be ignored when melting glass.
