Designed for makers
by makers.

Tiny Shiny Toolworks is a collaboration between multidisciplinary maker Ajit Aserappa and metalsmith, book artist and educator Kristin Mitsu Shiga. Our goal is to provide a carefully-curated selection of tools for makers working in metal, wood, book arts and other mediums, including our unique collection of collaboratively-designed tools you can’t find anywhere else!

Whether they are designed by us or talented friends like Michael Nashef, the tools offered here are the ones we reach for most in our own studios.

We did the research so you can just focus on the magic of making!
