Included with the Rings & Things Metal
Clay Tool Kit...
#87-051 Woven fiberglass with a nonstick coating. Great for building your pieces on because it breathes a bit and the clay pieces don't warp as much — we included two of these 4x4" sheets so you can work on a second piece while your first one is drying.
1 Small Jar with Lid and Sponge
#69-132 For keeping your clay moist and ready for that next project — moisten the sponge and keep your metal clay in the main compartment. 1x2"
#69-131 Use to roll out sheets of clay. A little olive oil rubbed lightly
over it will keep the clay from sticking to it. 6" long.
1 Texture Plates Kit
#87-055 24 different textures on 5x4" plastic sheets — a little olive oil and these will release great. How will you use them all?
#69-119 With its two ends, this is the No. 1 tool for building, patching and refining. 5.5"
1 Pair of Tweezers
#69-141 For placing those little bits exactly where you want them on your metal clay work.
#84-385-2 Great long flexible blades for straight cuts or curved trims. Watch it — they're sharp! There's a reason they are called blades.
1 Ring Sizer Set
#69-152 Easy to use with your clients/customers.
#69-153, #69-154 These small knives can be used in all sorts of places — now with the replaceable blades, you can abuse the edge more and still keep working. #11 is a straight edge. Pack of five blades.
2 Stick Burnishers
#69-102 These come as a set, and the sizes are great for tight places you might want to burnish. We also chose these for the kit because they have a shape and size many of you will not have already. A lot of studios already have curved or agate burnishers on the bench.
#69-114 For cleanup and finish. Be aware that brass sometimes leaves a
residue on the metal clay and plain steel rusts.
1 Set of Jeweler's Files
#69-140 Diamond-loaded and therefore nondirectional, great for small-scale working. Set of 10.
#69-124 2" cube used as "soft surface" anvil. Also can be used as a backup
surface when you're burnishing.
1 Butane Torch
#69-180 Use with a fill of butane to fire your pieces and in the evening to finish off that crème brulè for your guests. Torch is 6" tall.
#87-052 6" square of 1/8" mesh for firing on a gas burner.
1 Polishing Cloth
#63-537 Really works well to bring up some shine — try it right over a brushed surface for a nicely highlighted soft finish.
#69-182 For insulation under your pieces when torch firing. 5.7x3.7x2"
1 Fiber Board
#69-183 For firing on and/or setting up your pieces to load in the kiln. 6x6"
#69-181 For kiln setups of odd-shaped pieces and/or covering small torch fired glass, etc. 5x6x1"
