If you drink champagne start saving those corks! Thanks for the lovely tip @fwatsondesigns - “Use champagne corks as file handles! Their fat rounded tops fit perfectly into the heel of my palm, allowing my hand to adopt a natural, relaxed curve as I file. Since I ditched the traditional file handles and started using these, I’ve definitely noticed a decrease in hand fatigue on long bench days. Plus, I do love the occasional glass of bubbly!” There are many other things to use for a handle, I recently made one with Jettset if you have another way comment below or better yet DM me a pic or tag me! #metalsmithsociety #benchtip #jewelersbench #benchtools #files #filehandles #jewelrymaker #jewelrytools #studiolife #creativelife #instructorlife
