How jewelers modify their bench tools?

Greetings, Orchidians!

I’m going to be working on an article for AJM magazine that will
look at how jewelers modify (or modified) their bench tools to meet
the challenges of a particular job. The “stories” in the article
will mention what the job and challenge were, what tool was modified
and how, and how it worked. If you’ve got a story like this that you
wouldn’t mind sharing in print, please e-mail me for more

Deadline for me is Jan. 28, so I’m looking to gather info within the
next two weeks.

Thank you!
John Shanahan
