A tip from @estona_sieraden for sawing and filing down a bezel rocker that is too long so it fits your hand and stops slipping.

Love this tool modification from @estona_sieraden - “Alter your tools if something doesn’t feel right. I have been slipping with this bezel rocker because it was a bit too long for me. It just didn’t fit in my hand comfortably. If you have the same problem with this or another type of tool, don’t hesitate and just alter your tools. I shortened my bezel rocker with a saw and filed the edges down until it fit in my hand perfectly. The result: a steadier grip and no more slipping!” Thank you so much for sharing with us!! Modifying a tool slightly can make a HUGE difference! 🙌 #jewelrytools #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymakingtips
