This hot tip from @susan_ewington_jewellery 🤯 She created her own locking tweezers with a strip of folded brass- “The strip of brass is about 0.6mm or thereabouts, it was just a piece of scrap I had lying around, maybe around 10cm long, and I just folded it up after rolling it out so it’s nice and springy. I guess you could also use hard copper or even titanium if you’ve got any of that hanging around 😄” this is so delightful! Thanks for sharing with us! 🙏🏻😘 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #diyjewelrytool #jewelrytweezers
