[Histonet] Lets talk forceps

[Grantham, Andrea L - (algranth)]

Here in Tucson we have the wonderful luxury of having the best (and largest) gem and minerals show in the country every February. I always head to the jewelry making tools table when I need forceps, scissors, spatulas, etc. Last time I bought some they were 3/$10. So if anybody is in need send me an email the begining of next February and I'll look for what you need. If you can't wait and don't have a Hobby Lobby near you try googling and I bet you will come up with some companies that sell fine forceps.
