My '12 specialized' setting tools. (13 photos)

Some of my setting tools are so rudimentary, they are fun to look at.

==================================================

 For example this oil container is only a bottle cap that is glued unto my bench top.

 I've used this Micro-Motor for many years and it's a main part of my setting tools. No more long pole and shaft to keep lifting, after a while it does get heavy to use.

These graver-handles are only 3 of my 12 in my inventory, why so many? This is an easy answer. I can have a variety of 6-7 Onglette gravers and another 3-4 Flat gravers at my disposal.

 I use this "Setters Hold-It" clamp instead of shellac or the heavy to use GRS clamp. My hands must not get tired from gripping the GRS mechanism. I used one for a short while and gave it back, I didn't have any easy hand-access to my setting projects.
