Tools I Use

Great copper plates for etching and mezzotint. I also keep these brass and aluminum strips around for simple jigs and guides and various projects. They're sturdy, easy to cut, and handy when you want cleaner edges or small studio fixes.

A straightforward starter set that's comfortable in the hand. Great for beginners or quick carving sessions where you don't need anything fancy.

Reliable, smooth ink that's easy to roll out and behaves well on most papers. I reach for it when I just want a steady, predictable print day.

Well-made Japanese carving tools that feel precise and balanced. A good step up when you're ready for cleaner lines and smoother cuts. They also have a great paper selection.

A simple, steady roller that lays down ink cleanly. It's one of those daily-reach tools in my studio.

Clean, crisp transfer lines without the waxy mess. I use it when I want the drawing to stay put while carving.

Protects your table and keeps cuts smooth. Mine basically lives on my workbench.

Durable sheets that give the press a bit more grip and cushioning. Nice for consistent, even impressions.

Soft, flexible lino that's great for beginners or quick sketches. Easy to cut and gentle on the hands.

The same surface you know, but with a wooden base that keeps it flat. Nice when you want a little extra stability.

Get perfect alignment on all your prints. This precision registration jig is made in-house and available in several colors. This one's mine, made right here in my own studio.

A solid, rail-guided CNC machine that's comfortable in a small shop. It's reliable and predictable, so you can focus on the making rather than the machine. I use mine when I want clean cutting and an easy setup, especially on days when I'd rather carve than troubleshoot.

A tidy little table that uses suction to keep thin stock from skating around while you cut. I like it for quick setups and clean edges, with no clamps or tape getting in the way.

Connect two dust collection attachments to one hose. This 3D printed manifold lets you choose either input, or both at the same time. This one's mine too, designed in my own studio.

A great way to hold your CNC projects in a reliable, repeatable way. They can make custom plates to fit any machine, and Mod-Vice clamps are a great work-holding choice.

A compact, reliable printer with quick setup. I reach for it when I want fast, consistent prints without fussing over bed adjustments. Just click and print.

My go-to PLA for general everyday printing. It's reliable, consistent, and affordable.
