Here is a tip for your pickle pot from @BeadzillaJewelry - “I found an all plastic coffee filter that I trimmed the upper edge off so it fits perfectly into my pickle-pot. And now I have a strainer and can pickle larger and small things all in one basket. No more reaching into the pickle with tongs. I found this coffee strainer at Lucky grocery store, and also have seen them at Walmart. I also use re-purposed plastic mesh tea bags. After making my tea, I would just open the bag, dump out the tea and wash it. This works really really well!!” Love both of these ideas 🔥 thank you for sharing!! 🙌 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymaking #jewelrytools
