homemade tools

Hi, guys and girls,
I was looking at some tools, ball end ones and had an idea to try and make my own. I used pop rivets in 3 different sizes embedded in a wooden pen.
Thought i'd share this, saved a few quid

Good idea!

homemade tools are the best, anytime a tool brakes or i find a messed up tool somewhere it turns out the be a perfect tool for specific stuff.

Thanks for the replies,
I have used them now and they work a treat.

If you guys use homemade tools or something to that effect,
post and share.

one of the best clay tools i own was designed by Philip Faraut. its his 'eye' tool. a kind of double ended spoon tool. cost 30 quid to import but is awesome for more than just eyes.
i used to make alot of my own tools back when i did miniatures in green stuff epoxy.
