DIY sanding sticks from @mageofmetals - “I like to reuse my old sanding sticks and make new ones with them. However, instead of firmly rolling the sandpaper, I prefer to score along the edges of my stick with a pointed tool and gradually fold the sandpaper over it. My boss taught me this when I worked as a bench jeweler and I find it makes for an easier fold and a tighter wrap.” This is fantastic advice! Thank you Emily for letting me share! If you are new to jewelry making stop everything and make yourself sanding sticks! I like to do (minimally) a 320, 400, 800 & 1200. #sandingsticks #diysandingtools #diypolishingtools #jewelerstools #jewelrymaking
