Shell Forming Workshop Kit - Hammers and Stakes Only (Used)

Save $200 over the full shell forming kit by skipping the file, ruler, saw frame etc. Just the hammers, mallets, stakes, wood blocks, and stake holders.

These kits are in mint condition, and all hammers and stakes will be freshly polished. Two of the forming hammers are from Betty’s workshops - the LH1 & LH4.5, both are no longer being manufactured. Speaking of Betty Helen Longhi, she used many portions of these kits when we spent years on the road teaching together. It’s a little bit of history. So, as you order a kit, I will polish up the hammers and stakes before we ship it.
Now the deets.
