Clay Carvers
Even the talented need tools. Our metal sculpting blades for clay, greenware or plaster range from 7-1/2" to 10-7/8" in length. They are straight, curved, smooth, serrated, blunt, pointed, hooked or any combination thereof, with a tool at each end and a light coating of oil to protect them from rust. We'll choose (3) different styles out of at least a dozen, so you'll get (6) different tips, all much heavier than the dental picks we sometimes recommend for clay carving. The price, since they would normally sell for $2.25 each, would tempt even a starving artist.

T-Ball?
Clever, the way this little metal tool works while it keeps your fingers clean and safe. Squeeze and release the 4-1/2" long spring handle to open and close the 1-3/4" dia mesh ball. Fill the ball with jewelry, unwashed mineral samples, tea, fines herbs, whatever, then submerge it in jewelry cleaner, water, stew -- whichever seems to work best! Not intended for use at higher temperatures.

Just Plane Handy
Our 3-1/2" long mini-plane fits easily into the palm of your hand, and is set at about a 35° angle, making it an all-purpose cross between a block plane and a bench plane. The 1" wide blade adjusts for height in a heavy little cast-iron body. Handy for close work and models; even handier for a little light leveling when you don't need go to the basement for one of the big guns.

Sculpting Tools
AKA wax carvers. Each tool is about 6" long, stainless steel, with a shaped head on each end. Set "B" has two smaller arrow heads, two sort of like golf clubs and two more small (1/8"+) "spoons". The smaller sizes mean slightly sharper edges and points, but they are still basically dull. You certainly could use them to model in wax, or in clay, or to sculpt plaster of Paris. Handy and unusual.

Cool Tool
Winner of this week's "What IS That?" award. It's a watch crab, also called a spanner wrench, that's designed to remove the back from watches, lenses from telescopes, and other thin, flat components from whatever they're attached to. Heavy for its size, it's 1" x 2-3/4" x 3/8" thick, with sharp 1/4" prongs projecting from the edge. The prongs move from 2" to 7/16" apart as you spin the furled nut between them. An impressive tool to flash in front of your brother-in-law. If he doesn't read our catalog, he won't have a clue!

Close Up
Need a combination tweezers/magnifying lens? This one wins hands down! Elegantly simple. Easy to use. The short but wide grips on the stainless steel tweezers offer better control, but still come to a fine point. The 7/8" dia acrylic lens is only 3.5X, as opposed to the 6X claimed, but 3.5 works for most jewelers, hobbyists, scientists, and mothers of sliver-impaled children. Sweet.

Needle Files
A set of (10) 3mm x 140mm needle files - that translates to slightly over 5-1/2" long, including their orange-plastic handles. All are a medium-fine grain. They come in a soft-plastic storage case with the file profile pictured above each file. They're just neat things to have, and if you can't justify them any other way, consider that the assortment of flat, triangular, rat-tail and other shapes includes a couple that are perfect for the macho man who can't bring himself to use the nail file from a manicure set.
