A Steampunk Jewelry making tip

Finding great tools to work with when making something is, in my mind, essential. Perhaps one of the least (or perhaps MOST?) obvious tools, when making Steampunk Jewelry is a pair of watchmaker’s tweezers.
Tweezers are tweezer you might say…but this is just not so!
The main problem that crops up is this; tweezers made of ferrous metals or alloys can become magnetized making precision placement of the tiny metallic elements a time consuming and aggravating task, at best.
Solution, you guessed it, watchmaker’s tweezers!
Luckily these day finding what we need online is a fairly quick and simple task and many jewelry suppliers stock essential tools so when you are browsing their catalogue, for Vern’s sakes don’t just gloss over the humble tweezer section!

A tip for the adhesion of Steampunk Jewelry and other tricky things!
