Here is a tip for identifying your files from - @pohpohcito - “I got this idea from an @mjsa_jewelrymaking book that @alanrevere wrote, 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers. In the book, he suggests using different nail polish colors for different file shapes with the number of strips used to identify the cut/coarseness of the file. This allows for faster workflow because you can find the exact file you need much faster!
Nail polish would've been great if my mom still did her own nails but now everybody goes to nail salons and a bottle of nail polish costs about $6!! So instead I got heat shrink plastic tubing with adhesive and it costs only abt $2 for several feet and provides for better grip when filing.” Thank you so much for sharing with us! Looks great!! #needlefiles #fileorganization
