I have a Dritz hand-pliers to install my grommets, but as I'm starting to use more grommets on my projects, I'm constantly depleting the stock at all my local Joann's and they can't stock them fast enough. I'd like to start ordering them wholesale, but I have no idea where to start. A quick trip to Amazon shows me that Dritz is one of the more ( Read more... )

I'm officially done with my ancient glue gun that seems to have only one setting: Lava from the center of the earth multiplied by hell.
It just seems to get hotter the longer i leave it on, until an hour later, the glue is so hot that it makes second degree burns.

Can anyone suggest some low-temp glue guns, or ones that have adjustable

Hiya! Thought I'd share a little something that might help cutting out pattern pieces and make it a much easier process! I'm sorry if this was posted before, but there weren't any specific tags related to marking down patterns on fur. x3 ( Read more... )

So I've noticed I use a fair number of tools that it does not appear many others use. Which kind of baffles me a bit, due to how often I use them.

Hey there guys~
I was curious if there's a really really good heatgun out there! I am completely clueless when it comes to heatguns. I want one that I can use to help mold cut-up plastic bottles for accessories, accents, props, etc.

So, I recently got an airbrush which I'm going to be practicing with and to go along with it, I got myself a respirator to protect my lungs. I also intend to use it while fur shaving, because there's been plenty of times that after a big shave I've felt like my throat hurt. Although admittingly I'm something of a hypochondriac but better safe than ( Read more... )

Hey everyone!

Got some resin bases finally cast, got the dremel out only to realise...I have no bits for the dremel to fit the line of the lower jaw nor the eye sockets without cutting into details. What bit would you all recommend to get this job done?

I was out shopping today, when I saw a flea comb: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/images/Categoryimages/normal/p-18275-30986-smpet.jpg

The fine teeth look great for picking seams, better than a slicker brush, but I'm not sure if the fur will get tangled in the bristles, especially thicker DF-type furs. Anyone have any experiences with a flea comb?

Though I'd share off my dremel box! This is what I dremel in - I used to use an open topped box with vacuum and respirator but did not like how much dust escaped and got on my face and hair and clothes so I decided to enclose it somehow. I looked online for something but was unable to dig up very much! And nothing specific to what I wanted so I ( Read more... )
