I'm trying to move claws with them, so the notches in the ends both make sure the claws don't slip out as well as allowing me to twist them slightly...

I don't wear corsets now Tasha, they pinch. George I wasn't going to confess that I had turned my last one into bubble and squeak. Dennis.

Failing other suggestions, short pieces of clear tubing on one or both beaks of round pliers might do. The tubing can be rotated or reversed as it...

They're quite chunky on the ends Peter.

Now I've seen them, they might do nicely for my needs. Can I ask what size are the tips?

Mine has that egg crate packing foam that interlocks top and bottom, no matter how much I shake it (as if the postal service), everything stays in...

I invested in a couple of Swanstrom ones with delrin ends but they're so slippery that they're no use at all. A very expensive mistake.

Thin coat of tool magic or thin layer of moleskin on some regular pliers? Otherwise, the eurotool version are a bit harder, but still very...

Great minds Dennis. I have an A0 version of this on my second bench and find it extremely useful. Especially because I can disc cut straight onto it....

Not sure - I've notched mine to help with alignment. Worth a shot (or shrink wrap, possibly).

I wrap mine in electrical tape. would that work?

I'll see if I can find some info on her techniques because the kiln fired PMC I've tried forging or otherwise bending (because it curled slightly)...

That's the exact same mat i use for my rotary cutter when i'm doing my corsetry :D x

Out of interest Steve, what's the current turnaround time on packets?

If you are not familiar with the artist Kate McKinnon, she has written at least 5 books on PMC plus videos. She is the one that talks about being...

Hiya Peter, At first redistribution by the noted manufacturer, they also have to have the noted manufacturers contact details on them.(as well...

I wasn't being serious about laser cutting in the living room ;) and no, the amount of crap that is sold on etsy makes the heart sink. I...

Well funny you should say that.......Last year we trialed exactly that. Plastic corrugated boxes with foam inserts in three different sizes. The...

At what point does a toy need a CE marking? If we're talking a mass-produced Action Man, then fine - but how about a hand-crafted rocking horse? ...

True but baby toys made from potentially toxic material that presents a choking hazard as well as not being CE marked probably is :) I'd guess they...

Meh. So-so at best. Power requirements and fume extraction could be troublesome, but apart from that... Nope, but given they don't police...

so a laser cutter in a living room isn't a good idea? Damn. I don't think it's Etsy's responsibility to police how maker's produce their stuff.

the only way I can imagine PMC working like silver is if it were melted down and rolled.

it depends. I might see if I can re-work it. But when I actually melted an antique art nouveau piece I was enamelling (got distracted by someone...

deffo the wrong tom mcdowell I think! This one: http://www.tommcdowelldesign.com/about.html is I think different to this one: ...

that's different! :D

What you have learned, John: Don't use flimsy ready made bezel strip, but cut your own from 0.4mm fine silver sheet. Work in a darkened area so...

Fingers crossed, but I'm sure it will.
