FUN FACT: The first ever
#tooltalktuesday happened on June 23rd, 2018 but I initially called it
#toolshoppingsaturday 🤣 to celebrate Metalsmith Society’s 2nd anniversary I thought it would be fun to revisit some of the first tips! So for this
#tooltalktuesday throwback I’m resharing this post about the split mandrel! - “I know there are an overwhelming amount of mandrels and attachments available for your flexshaft so I thought it would be a good idea to start showcasing and discussing helpful ones! This one is called a split mandrel and I consider it an essential! You can wrap sandpaper of any grit around it and use it to polish the insides of rings and cuffs and much more! You can buy a six pack of them for $6 on average so they aren’t a huge investment and I use them daily when at the bench! I’m thinking on Saturdays I may just start going over what different tools are useful for. Would you all like that? Let me know below in the comment thread! 🙏🏻 Maybe we need a fun
hashtag? #toolshoppingsaturday 🤔 🤣” so glad I changed the hashtag 🤦‍♀️ and I still love my split mandrel 💕
