Here is a tool modification from @indigenousjewels - “I recently tumbled a little domed doodad I made with lots of holes in it, and when I removed it, it was filled with shot. 🙈🙈🙈 I tried to shake it out, but only a few came out. So I took one of my eyebrow tweezers and filed the point small enough to go into the holes and that way I got them all out one by one.” Anyone else get steel shots stuck in their pieces 🙋♀️ thanks for sharing this! I love tool modifications! Happy Friday to all! #metalsmith #metalsmithing #jewelrytools
