 +
*** 6"/150mm Flat File, Cut 2 Vallorbe (£12.12)
 +
*** Set Of 12 Needle Files, 16cm - All Cut2 (one has to avoid contaminating silver with iron, so we'll want separate files for ferrous metals in addition to this) (£19.98)
 +
*** Grobet/vallorbe Saw Frame Adjustable (£22.80) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Grobetvallorbe-Saw-Frame-Adjustable-prcode-999-73B]

 +
*** Vallorbe Saw Blades Grade 2/0, Bundle Of 12*12 (£30.82); Vallorbe Saw Blades Grade 6/0, Bundle Of 12 (£3.70)  (those saw blades are consumables - they break easily)
 +
*** Straight 7"/17.5cm Shears (£12.54)  (for brutal cutting of sheet metal).  Aviation snips would be useful on a larger scale
 +
 
 +
** hammering  (total 73.01)
 +
*** Flat Stake - 10cm X 10cm (£22.44)  (this is a small anvil with a machined-smooth surface on all sides) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Flat-Stake---10cm-X-10cm-prcode-999-795]
 +
*** Planishing Hammer Cookson Value Range (£23.99)  (a polished-surface hammer for surface finishing and work-hardening) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Planishing-Hammer-Cookson-Value-Range-prcode-997-3111];

 +
 
 +
** pliers and tweezers (total 110.99)
 +

 +
*** 5.5"/ 140mm Maun Flat Pliers Parallel Action (£22.79) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/5.5-140mm-Maun-Flat-Pliers-Parallel-Action-prcode-999-644]

 +
*** Hand Torch (£18.00) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Hand-Torch-Please-Note-Jewellers-Torch-Is-Supplied-Without-Gas-prcode-999-955] (this is ok for very small things.  Much better for bigger work, and giving more control, would be a bottled-gas torch. The glass torch will do for now)
 +
*** Magnesia Soldering Block (£7.62) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Magnesia-Soldering-Block-prcode-999-974]
 +

 +
*** digital calipers (£22.66) [http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-axminster-digital-electronic-calipers-prod20296/] (that's a fairly cheap one, which is perhaps a false economy. Basic Mitoyoyo calipers are around £60-70)
 +
*** 3" square (£10.50) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/3-Steel-Square-prcode-999-583&p=gs?gclid=CJKfvby477UCFcLHtAodMHIAyg]

* Small-scale metalwork: possible extensions,  budget permitting

** Lighting - some good desk task lighting (probably this should be included in the above)
 +
** Bench polisher (not much)
 +
** Doming block and punches, for forming sections of spheres (£200 from Sutton tools) [http://www.suttontools.co.uk/forming/doming-sets/durston-26-piece-doming-set-70mm-cube-3-50mm-punches.html]

** Rolling mill (£807) [http://www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Durston-Rolling-Mill---C100-70mm-X-6mm-Sheet-Max.-prcode-999-AXX] (for reducing the thickness of sheet, embossing texture and pattern (laser-cut?) on sheet surface, and making wire. Rolling mills come in between £200 and £2000; this is in the middle of the range, with just one pair of rollers but with gearing)

** Stereo microscope (£1500 new; hopefully less second-hand or donated)
 +
** Raising hammers and stakes (for making forms out of metal sheet)  (£ a few hundred)
 +
** a wider range of flexible shaft tools: diamond burrs, stone-setting burrs, ...  (each one is not very expensive, and these are semi-consumable - perhaps best got on demand)

* Small-scale metalwork: implausible extensions (just to give an upper-bound context)
 +
** laser cutter that can cut metal sheet (e.g. up to 1mm)

      • Polishing Kit No 2 (£53.99) [21]
      • Set Of 20 Drills 0.3-1.6mm (£15.96) (consumable!) [22]
      • diamond burrs (set of 30) (4.80) (consumable) [23]

      • bench grinder
      • mapp gas torch for annealing and hardening
      • 4" engineers vice
    • Stock


    • Tool Storage

Either in the wall-mounted bins or in a cheap thin-drawer metal filing cabinet (72 from Rymans) [24].



  • Small-scale metalwork: possible extensions, budget permitting
    • Hammer With 25mm Nylon Head (£9.50)
    • small swivel vice of some kind
    • Lighting - some good desk task lighting (probably this should be included in the above)
    • Bench polisher (not much)
    • Doming block and punches, for forming sections of spheres (£200 from Sutton tools) [25]
    • Bottled gas torch (£145 + gas) [26]
    • Rolling mill (£807) [27] (for reducing the thickness of sheet, embossing texture and pattern (laser-cut?) on sheet surface, and making wire. Rolling mills come in between £200 and £2000; this is in the middle of the range, with just one pair of rollers but with gearing)

    • Raising hammers and stakes (for making forms out of metal sheet) (£ a few hundred)
    • a wider range of flexible shaft tools: diamond burrs, stone-setting burrs, ... (each one is not very expensive, and these are semi-consumable - perhaps best got on demand)
  • Small-scale metalwork: implausible extensions (just to give an upper-bound context)
    • laser cutter that can cut metal sheet (e.g. up to 1mm)
    • PUK4 microwelder (£3195) [28]
    • air-powered hand engraving kit (£ several thousand) [29]

Do we already have a general purpose socket and wrench set with extras like this 242 piece kit with cabinet for £100? www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht497-242pce-tool-set-chest. We could use another when we have more users.
