Hi Torbjorn, this scissor is nothing fancy but works pretty well. Glad you like the look. Thanks my friend.

As always, a thought-provoking project. Heal up! Maybe some bed rest will spark new ideas, so it's not all bad.

I think being sick made my mind work better in some ways! Now that I feel better, good ideas have since escaped me. Thanks Bryson.

I've been wanting to try a pair of scissors but have been pretty shy, but this gives me hope that they aren't as hard as I thought! Thanks!

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

I was hesitant too. I'm learning there are some tricky spots with scissors but making a reasonable pair isn't too hard. Thanks.

@HWPcville Жыл бұрын

Very nice! The more I look at your flat topped anvil the more I realize how functional it is. I have a traditional anvil with a horn & heel that at times isn't wide enough. The fact its swaybacked and has rounded edges from years of wear doesn't do it any favors either 🙂. Thanks for posting.

@gstongs Жыл бұрын

Yes, I find a wide anvil more useful. But to each his own as some folks prefer more traditional anvils. Good luck in all my friend.

Hi Jeff, I'm feeling much better. Drinking plenty of water helps. This scissor is relatively simple but more useful than my first pair. Off topic, was talking about your mile long driveway with my wife yesterday. Thanks and I wish you all the best.

Wouldn’t you want the end of the finger loop to the outside so that when you’re cutting you’re actually pulling on the smoother radius of the loop ?? just a thought

That's something to think about but with this pair, I think it wouldn't matter too much. Thanks.
