Update for students

If you have not already ordered (and paid for) a steel block to use in my hammered bracelet class, you will need to obtain and bring one on your own-- they are very heavy, and my luggage gets over the limit. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but this is a pretty easy tool to find. Chances are pretty good you can even buy one at the show.

I will still be accepting orders for the hammer I like best, as this is a less-readily available item (described below).

If you are planning to take Magic Metal Menagerie-- I neglected to include a bench pin in the tool list. While not absolutely essential, it is pretty helpful when sawing. Please bring one, or order one for me to bring to the class for you. They are $8, and just consist of a piece of wood with a V-shaped cut-out, and a clamp to hold it to the table. A small towel would be convenient, if you can bring one. And one more point-- your Dremel should have (at minimum) a 3/32" collet.
