well, i use my marble rolling pin to flatten my tooling copper. chopsticks 
and popsickle sticks for the relief work, not to mention a mechanical 
pencil without lead in it for the tiny dot work.  crab mallets make great 
texture in a lot of things.

 i use paintbrushes to decorate cookies (and marzipan), and the watercolor 
mixing trays for different colors.

and i grab white embroidery thread when i need trussing twine (i have 
actually sewn a turkey shut upon one occasion....   drew too badly when the 
skin crisped.

of course, there are the ubiquitous water tumblers and shot glasses for 
cutting.... 8)

cailte
gotta get some of those push out cups alton used one of these days.....
