Boy Terry, if my great-grandmother was still she could show me how I'm sure they didn't use sewing machines

Add a wet sponge?...

The only detail is basically the same as you might have done in the past, just different implements to do the job

[joepaulbutler]

I decided to make myself some tool rolls. Wasn't about to do it by hand so invested in a sewing machine. Ya Pam just rolled her eyes. Wait we don't have a good enough pair of scissors that will cut paper very well let alone cloth.= 3 pairs, one regular, one pinking & one embroidery.
All...

What a way to break into a group Welcome, and thanks for the post

I also use a utility knife and find them useful, but another one that I've also got on my bench is the Stanley Hand Tools 10-150 9MM Quick Point Utility Knife Breakaway Blade. II isn't for any hogging out work and the blade will snap, but it is really flexible, within reason, and works great is tight...

Tom, I don't know what you were using to get your imaginary juice to flowing, but I want some. These are some of your best.

Thanks, Brian. I want to keep my chest areas clear. with all the lights I now use, pencils have a tendance to get hooked in the shades.

I've worn more aprons that you could imagine. They were all of the canvas types. I'm going to try a make myself an apron of my own design:
1. No neck strap, going to sew the bib to a modified pull over shirt.
2. Will have a belly patch made out of leather.
3. The side will come around...

I'll write this down now so I know, thanks∙∙∙∙↑now where did I put it....

[joepaulbutler]

Thanks for the info. I've got two headband type magnifiers, One was actually my fathers. The second is similar to your W/ 5 interchangeable lenses, & a couple of LEDs. Get used all the time. I really don't like the full head band never was a hat wearer.

The new light toy I use...

Boy, I agree with Terry. If you are going to that much trouble, why not make one of a scraper bland...
