Handcrafted tools for

lampworkers & glassblowers

About BC Metalworking

Welcome to my workshop in Cedar, Minnesota, where each piece is meticulously handcrafted in a minimalist space that I personally designed and built. As a passionate glass tool maker, I am committed to the timeless art of handcrafting and share your dedication to excellence. My mission is to produce high-quality, beautiful, custom-built glass blowing tools—including glassblowing jacks and tweezers—that elevate your craft while keeping prices accessible, so you can pursue your passion with the finest tools at hand.

My process is deeply influenced by my studies with Maruko Tools in Japan, and I thoughtfully incorporate some of Nagai-san’s enduring techniques into every tool I create, blending tradition and innovation to meet the needs of every glass artist.

I hope my tools become trusted companions in your studio, supporting you as you bring your artistic visions to life and explore new creative horizons.
