Ivan’s pig stickers- steel blades These tubes should be treated

These tubes should be treated like a newspaper shaping pad

If there was 1 jack to rule them all this would be it

The blades on these are approximately 7

They are my favorite pair of jacks that he made and use them for smaller work

On smaller pieces i will quickly give openings a little flare with regular jacks to make the opening wide enough to fit the tubes in and then go for the carboard pacioffis

Ivan’s pig stickers- steel blades These tubes should be treatedThese fun little jacks are loosely based off of Ivan Smiths Small Liquer Jacks that he nicknamed pig stickers. They are my favorite pair of jacks that he made and use them for smaller work. They would be good for a lampworker or anyone who finds a longer blade cumbersome for fine detailed work.
