Collect your metal dust with this awesome tip from Liz of @rustycreekdesigns - “I have silver dust everywhere, as I am sure all of us metalsmiths do! I had been trying to use a paint brush to gather up all the dust on my bench, but it never got it all. I purchased this desk vacuum off of Amazon and it is amazing! I don’t think I have ever had this clean of bench AND I am collecting ALL the silver for some extra cash!
