Here is a video showing how you can modify your bench pin which I shared on my jewelry page @corkieboltonjewelry 🤘I use a @grstools bench pin (which I adore) and I wanted to give my new one some more functionality. I was inspired by a tutorial @alexboydstudio shared awhile back on the page, thanks Alex! I included a little recessed area to hold small items and stones, a slot for tubing to sit into, and a curve to hold my ring clamp against. This modification was done with my saw and I used some wax carving burs (swipe to see those). This didn’t take very long and was well worth it! Thanks for taking a look and if you have your own bench pin modification please, please email me with pics! Tips@metalsmithsociety.com it is one of my favorite things to share! #grstools #benchpinportrait #benchpin #modifiedjewelrytools
