Here’s a tip for keeping steel shot out of your work from @buenaonda.handmade - “Cut a strip of plastic bag and stuff it into your piece before tumbling. Just leave a little tail for removal. Easy peasy, no more fishing out fiddly pieces of steel for ages.” Love this Becca! I mention this in my upcoming book, you can also use a piece of wire or string. So helpful for hollow forms because once the shots work their way in there it’s soooooo hard to get out!! If you have a tumbler tip please email me at tips@metalsmithsociety.com your tips help the page go strong!! #tumbler #tumblertips
