Here at Pouncing Rain we are really pleased to provide a variety of jewelry and metalworking tools and supplies to fit your creative needs including enameling and PMC supplies and tools.
New In The Shop! We are really excited to bring in new Tronex pliers. Adding to the flush cutter that are so popular, we will now be carrying the Tronex round nose, chain nose and flat nose pliers. Come feel the difference!
We are also pleased to announce that we are now carrying hammers and stakes from William Fretz, Fretz Design LLC. These fine hammers and stakes are finely crafted and fit so wonderful in your hand, you can feel the difference in control as you manipulate your metal. Recently featured in this November's issue of The Lapidary Journal, Jewelry Artist, these fabulous tools are smaller versions of full size silversmithing hammers making them perfect for precise metalsmithing projects. All hammers are 420 hardened stainless steel with beautiful rosewood handles. We now carry the set of 5 hammers as well as the individual plannishing, wide and narrow raising, and large and small embossing hammer. We also carry the six piece mini stake sets which comes with the wooden stake holder. Come on in and get the feel for these beautiful tools you won't want to work without!
We are now carrying Liver of Sulfur Gel, the new patina medium everyone's been talking about!
