Here are some amazing, simple modifications for a brand new bench pin, huge thank you to @alexboydstudio for sharing these process shots with us! To modify the pin- “I used a jeweler’s saw with a #3 blade, a half-round file, a round file, and a pencil for layout.” While this may take a little time I can not recommend doing this enough! There is a spot to hold rings while filing and sanding, and a nice area to rest a ring clamp and an indentation for tubing! I would love to show off other modifications! Let us know and if you’d like to share one please email or DM me pictures with a description 🙏😘 #metalsmith #metalsmithsociety #jewelersbench #benchpin
