Scouring Tool for Handbuilding

I made nifty scouring tools for the minigama workshop.

1. Open a package of embroidery needles but leave the needles in the plastic tray they come in.
2. Squeeze quick setting epoxy over the eye and top 1/3 for the package. Make sure to keep the pointy ends even.
3. After the epoxy is set, cut the package in half - there were 16 needles in the packages I used so I cut them into 8 and 8 - and trim off the edges of the plastic packaging.
4. Mold about 1/4 inch of "Quick Copper" or other 'fake metal' and form over the top of the set of needles. Think about how you will use the tool and make the 'handle' fat enough to give a good grip. I also pressed some texture in to the handle to make it a bit rough.

Thanks to John Neely for the instructions.
