<p class="">Typically used for milling, these<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4qo3ex0" data-type="link" data-id="https://amzn.to/4qo3ex0"> 123 Blocks</a></strong> are awesome for setting on pieces when you need weight while the glue is drying.</p>



<p class="">They are also helpful for keeping pieces upright and straight when gluing two or more pieces together!</p>

<p class="">If you work with clay, this is an amazing <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4p6y1x6" data-type="link" data-id="https://amzn.to/4p6y1x6">Rolling Pin with Baking Mat</a></strong> tool for rolling out the clay and keeping it at the same overall thickness.</p>



<p class="">In the photos, you can see how the discs on the end of the pin can be removed and used to get the thickness you need for your project.</p>



<p class="">The silicone mat is easy to clean with a lot of measurements on it.</p>

<p class="">A set of <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3YHYoP6" data-type="link" data-id="https://amzn.to/3YHYoP6">Flush Cutters</a></strong> are almost a must-have tool for mini making.  They can cut just about anything, get into small areas, and you get two cutters in a pack!</p>

<p class="">I have used these little <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/3L4h2h5" data-type="link" data-id="https://amzn.to/3L4h2h5">Finger Sanders</a></strong> constantly since I bought them.</p>



<p class="">You can purchase these in several configurations, depending on what sandpaper grit you use often. Refill sandpaper strips are also available.  The strips attach to the sander with velcro</p>

<p class="">Happy mini making,</p>
