That Stanley will probably last many more years. These days, I just don't think things are made with the same quality they used to be.Tim Kaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080372450339022644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-17692647004730193912017-04-26T16:44:04.775+01:002017-04-26T16:44:04.775+01:00From vintage tools to 3D printing, and both do the...From vintage tools to 3D printing, and both do the job.

What we do with wood is tape it up tightly and then cut with regular cutter it prevents ends from splitting from a blade. I'm sure this is slower and of course Tim's is super fast too.

Even my 13 year old grandson had to complete a printed project last year as part of his Design Class. I think it's so appropriate, to be using it to make tools for an old craft like tatting. I still use a fountain pen for writing shopping lists.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-73243605383041316032017-04-25T23:34:55.651+01:002017-04-25T23:34:55.651+01:00Very cool!
