Traveling Metalsmith


As my champs work, I prepare to leave the country...I will be taking my favorite tools on the road, or plane, I should say. My friend, Dana Fehsenfeld, is going to make me a custom traveling tool kit similar to the one pictured above that she also made for the metals studio. I complied a list of tools and then packed as many as I could in this existing kit just to see how it will all work. I am pretty happy with this design and will have her do something like it with a few adjustments--more pockets, a zippered pouch on the outside for my sand paper, and grommets on either side toward the middle so it can hang.

Thanks for reading.
