Crazy Curved Tool .Strange but True !

Brilliant!  Absolutely brilliant!  I would have never thought of that.

If you get the opportunity, porcupine quills work well too.  One deceased porky, (usually splattered all over the road) will give you enough quills for a lifetime as they are surprisingly durable.  I have even etched metals with them with some success.

I have used unscented  kitty litter (clean) for 1/35 rubble.

You Know _

      We are always looking for that odd tool that will make our jobs easier. Especially if it's free ! I needed a tool to etch grooves in a thin sheet of balsa for a Deck. Now the scale was small enough that I heeded a smaller tip than an X-Acto actually has .

      Enter my cat ! If you have one that has NOT had her fingertips removed ( That's what De-Clawing entails .Removal to the first Knuckle! ).Then she can help . They ( Cats ) do lose those little arcs of defense on occasion .( That is why I use a flat scratching device for Sam. ) She uses it faithfully and then plays afterward.

      While she is playing, I harvest those little curved weapons left behind in the scratching Media . They , Attached to a skewer with super glue or epoxy make great Light Duty Engraving tools for little jobs .And the Cat lets me have them Free !  T.B.  

 

Like these ya mean?
