Ok so I was bad...I bought a disk cutter at Bead and Button. It was $115.00 with shipping. My buddy Jim Jones said it was a good cutter cause it has screws that hold
the metal in place as you hammer your cutter. So I bought it and that was about two weeks ago. Argg. I have so many ideas swimming around in my head and need that cutter.
The studio has AC on Mondays so I hope to get it this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Did you see Jim Jones Steampunk beads he made at Bead and Button. They were beautiful and so well done. Jim seems to take every art form and pushes it to perfection. Such a talented artist and his wife Lani is too! They are the main reason I am coming back to Bead and Button. Lani and I are shopping buddies and Jim and I shop for tools....perfect.
A good cutter does cost good money -- I learned that in a metal class I took. I bought a cheap cutter, cut one piece of silver, and threw the cutter in the trash. What a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteNice toy Libby! When do we get to see the first run? So envious of you going to the B+B. I am coming over to attend the Gathering this year. Hope the vendors have some great stuff on show! Liz
ReplyDeleteNo cutter yet!!!! Liz make sure you come and see me at the Bead Bazar on Sat. I can't believe it's only a month away!
ReplyDeleteOh for sure Libby - looking forward to finally meeting you. Are you attending other aspects of the Gathering?
