| inside the studio for July 2014 |
Well made tools make all the difference on the bench which creates less fatigue for the artisan and assists in quality craftsmanship when it comes to the work. Why fill your studio with tools that you aren't physically comfortable using or that need replaced in a short span of time. One statement my Father made to me, at an early age, was not to scrimp on tools or quality when it comes to food.

choosing stones for new pendants on the workbench where the flexshaft tool systems and Wolf Belt sander live
I have not invested in the Foredom top shelf system but, have the Grobet and Prodigy . The one is dedicated to the Wolf belt sander while the other is hanging from the ceiling by a small bungy cord allowing me to use it while wheeling around from bench to bench in the small studio :)

| little sander is a super time saver when prepping ear-wire ends, deburring blanks and polishing |
 |
| This super useful 6 inch square bench block is from Romazone located on Etsy and is for sure a great addition to the bench. I cannot seem to metal-stamp or hammer texture with out it. The small 3 inch blocks are very nice but, I find the larger working space indispensable. |
