Tools of the Trade : What I use to make jewelry

There are so many different techniques and tools to use to make jewelry.  Today I'm sharing one of my favorite tools which is my doming block.  I use the marvelous block and dapping punches along with a hammer for rounding and doming metal.  The various sizes of punches allow me to dome tiny pieces as well as larger pieces.  It's a handy tool for making jewelry much more three dimensional.
