BURNT OFFERINGS - Cool Tools - Fibers, Kits, Jigs & Books

Here you will find some of the tools that we use in our workshops and in our books. We have MANY, MANY more listed in our Etsy Shop and prefer that you order through Etsy as their availability is always up to date there and you automatically know when the shop is closed when we're teaching - eliminating any guesswork as to the status of your order or our where-a-bouts... if you're not a member of Etsy, signing up is a breeze, or you can still order through our website and either make a direct Paypal payment or send us a money order, BUT if you choose the website option, then please send us an email first noting the items you'd like and the state you live in and we'll send you a total or let you know if something is NOT in stock.

A Tip on using the Nibbler:
if you squeeze the handle and it doesn't release - it's NOT broken - just jammed. a metal shaving got trapped inside, so unscrew the screw at the top and remove the black plate with a screwdriver...tap the tool until the shaving falls out, replace and rescrew the top and continue.
