Obsessed with this time saving tip from @wyckoffsmith “Links galore just out of the pickle. I’m working on another group of Olga chains today. I use this silicon grip from Ikea to keep all of the links together, so it is quicker to fish them out of the pickle.” THIS IS PERFECT FOR A TUMBLER TOO. Just sayin. Happy Friday y’all and be sure to check out my Rolling Mill Mini Series currently happening every friday in addition to the regular tip 💃🏼 thank you so much for sharing this awesome tip with us!! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #ladysmith #communityovercompetition
