LIFESPAN OF MATERIALS AND TOOLS

We examine the materials we use and their lifespan, to make sure it is as long as possible. The quality of consumables and small tools is an important issue. We try to make them reusable to avoid disposable packaging and consumables.

Keep tools in good condition to try to extend their useful life as much as possible. Putting silicon sachets (silica gel) in drawers or places where there is humidity can help to reduce it (e.g. for burins, which rust very quickly). Keeping tools lubricated also helps to reduce metal rust, particularly on tools that are rarely used, which can be stored in a drawer wrapped in a cotton cloth soaked in oil.
