I am working on my PE and i am interested in the tools you guys use.which tools do u use to do with PE?How to do with it by using them?also do u think the one in the article by Lee Lloyd in this site is useful?how to use it and is it costly?
Thanks
Tim Lo

the tools' name are Hold&Fold and Etchmate

They are surely ueful, and a bit expensive too. Just to start you can go with a flat pins plier and a bit of patience...

Hi Tim

BrandydogUK wrote an excellent article on working with etched metal - without the need for expensive tools.

It's worth checking out before you reach for your wallet.

All the best

Before "Hold & Fold" and "Etchmate" was on the scene you had to think of your own ideas to complete the task. I use modified pliers, clamps, and razor blades, to work w/ PE.
But I have to confess after an DEMO @ AMPS 02 of the hold and fold, I was convinced.
Last week I finally broke down and parted w/ some $$ to order one. It should be here next week. I cant wait till it gets here. Todd

I have a pair of pliers that are flat squares that allow for nice holding and bending. I align and hold with the pliers and then use another metal object (blade, pliers ??) to fold and crease the piece.
