It is actually bullets


Explanation:
From what I understood from the context, the craftsman is saying that he usually creates bullets out of the material in hand, but he can add other things and make them a different shape.

Just mention the typo to your client and translate it this way:


"Usualmente los usamos para fabricar balas, pero puedo agregarles una cola para darle la vuelta.
Eso debería funcionar " - El artesano que hace de todo con todo.
