Smile Beading tools

Today I ran out of soft flex wire for rigging the wings.(I cant believe that I have already gone thru about 60 feet of the stuff)If you have a bead store in your city or town ,check out the tools used in beading.These tools are very fine and extremely useful for modelling, as I guess that they were originally used by jewelers.The fine round needlenose pliers are especially good for making your own turnbuckles.Nice quality flush cutting snips for wire(similer to sprue cutters but better quality)And I picked up a great set of pointed diamond grit reamers for opening holes in just about any material. Cheers! John
