First is a stirrer for paints. It's probably the most basic tool in the world, but when the fingers are bad it helps a lot when the knitting pin is a bit thicker. Here is a 3mm pin inserted in a piece of 6mm plastic rod and fixed with epoxy. The other one is a piece of 0.5mm piano wire iserted into the same 6mm plastic with epoxy. This is very good when you need to place a bit of epoxy or other type of glue in tight places.

Next one up is quite simply a piece of wood(!) that I use to replace the lids on my Humbrol tins. It really saves the hands! I painted it so it would look a little bit better!

Last, but not least is an paint stirrer powered by 2 AA type batteries. That makes stirring quick and easy! Mine was bought at MicroMark in the USA. The rest of my tools are quite conventional, so they will remain unmentioned!

The white place mat is very useful when small parts are placed on it. They are so much more easilly seen!
