1.5 mm tool for sale

While working on the 1mm and 2mm tool tip sets I also made 10 finger/spoon tips as well as 10 sculpting knife tool tips, each made of 1.5mm steel. So this is a size between the 1.0mm and the 2.0mm tool tips. These tool tips I will fit in wood/brass handles and sell them as 10 single tools with finger/spoon- and sculpting knife tool tip. I made this combination because for me this is the tool tip combination I used most of the time while sculpting. You can see a picture of this combination on the following picture.

And on the next picture you can see a comparsion of the fingert/spoon tip and the sculpting knife tip, each shown in 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0mm.

2mm tool tips set for sale

Well here's a picture of the six 2mm tool tips.

On the photo you see them fixed into a handle made from walnut and brass.

These kind of handles I will sell separately. The basic 2mm set will come with the six tool tips you see and an two sided aluminum Schellert-tool-style handle for quickly changing the tool tips. The wooden handles are ment to be used if you do not want to change the tool tips all the time.

Tool tips are done

I've got a few emails again, asking me about the availability of the sculpting tools, I had anounced for sale quite a while ago.

I'm still working on that. The problem is that I can only work on them in my spare time and while having a real life job and a little daughter (not to mention my wife :-)), there isn't much of it. I never thought it would be such a lot of work.

But Now, I took a large step forward in this project: Last weekend I finally finished the work on the set of sculpting tool tips, I will offer for sale.

I have now forged, grinded and polished 22 sets of 2mm tool tips and 40 sets of 1mm tool tips. The 2mm-set exists of 6 different tool tips while the 1mm-set comes with 7 different tool tips.

While working on them, I discovered something interesting: To make a single set of sculpting tool tips isn't really a big deal. But making 40 of them is really something different. To make all the same moves and work steps again and again becomes quickly enervating and sets you in a state of trance :-).

Anyway, I've done them now :-)

All that's left now ist to finish the handles but I already have quite a few of them ready here. And of course I have to think about the price of the tools.

I will post some pictures of the sets during the next days. Until then here are some pictures of sculpting tools made of 3 mm steel that I've made lately.

Tool update

Hello again,

During the last weeks a lot of people send emails asking me about when my sculpting tools will be available for sale. Well, I'm working on it :-). What I will offer in the end will be two versions of the Schellert-tool. One with 1mm tool tips and one with 2mm tool tips. Beside that I will also offer seperate handles made of wood, brass and aluminium. I think, it's ok if you got a handle with exchangable tool tips especially when you are traveling around. But I confess that it might be a hassle if you have to change your tool tips all the time while sculpting. So I made seperate handles where you can fix the tool tips in with screws. So with the Schellert-tool and a seperate handle you'll have just two two-sided sculpting tools at the same time. In the picture below you can see some of the stuff I've already done. It's quite different to produce 20-30 tools instead of one or two and it's definitely much more work than I'd expected. If you are interested in these tools, just send me an email an I put you on my list.

Back and a review of my Schellert-Tool

It's really quite a long time since I wrote my last post here in my sculpting-tool blog. Sorry for that.
At the moment I'm thinking about some new tutorials for making sculpting tools and related stuff. So I hope, you will read some new posts here soon.

I'm also working on a small bunch of Schellert-tools for sale. I already got some handles and half of he sculpting tool tips done. When all the forging, grinding and polishing is done, I will tell you more about that.

In the meantime you might want to read a review of my Schellert-Tool :-)
A very nice guy named Craig wrote this review after trying out my tools. You can find this review here: rusty boy review of the Schellert-Tool.

should I make some tools for sale?

Hi everyone,

during the last weeks, I've got several emails from people asking me, if I have some of my Schellert-tools for sale. There seems to be some interest, especially in my Schellert-tool with the small sculpting tips for very small details.

So I would like to know, if there are some more people out there that would like to buy such a tool.

Actually I didn't make this blog for selling tools, but for showing how to do it on your own. But I confess, that some tools are not as easy and fast to do at home especially if you haven't got the right tools for that. So I'm thinking about making a few pieces of the Schellert-tool with the 1mm heads if enough people are interested in.

So please tell me if you are interested :-)
