This setup is fancy and pretty as all heck. The more seasoned among you may notice that I'm not including a magnetic stir plate, but honestly, I love the control that hand blending gives you. The amount of textures you can make when hand mixing are practically infinite.

​

The scale has not been upgraded from the previous tiers simply because it doesn't need to be. 0.1G is just about as accurate as you need a scale to be when blending.

​

The dabber is hand-spun wood and titanium. I love the work this seller does, but you aren't limited to just that choice. Search "Wax carving tool" on Etsy to find all sorts of fun options. I also included the 14-pack of various-sized dabbers to use in special circumstances where you wouldn't want to use your fancy dabber.

​

The jars are absolutely beautiful. There are lots of colors to choose from and they are a great way to show off your fancy blends. I also have the traditional jars in there for more capacity.
