Here's a tip for your flexshaft handpiece from @lynn.twohill - “I'm sure you know it should never just be hanging down. This is my cheapie flex I keep at my desk. I'd just leave it but it would always wind up on the floor. This little clip was maybe $2.50 from HD. Used to hold brooms, rake handles, etc.” If you are newer to jewelry making you may not know that your flex shaft handpiece should not be left hanging because after hours of working the oil in the shaft gets hot and can drip it’s way into the hand piece. So I absolutely love this solution! You can also take your hand piece off at the end of the day! Thank you Lynn! #flexshafttips #foredomflexshaft #jewelrymakingtips
