Title: very cool tool
Post by: jammie on April 04, 2012, 01:32:29 PM
Not sure where to put this but I got a gripie from Sally (polly put the kettle on) and just wanted to say that I love it, very clever design and brilliant for stringer work. I got the smaller version. Am going to try it out with the earstuds tut that's been going around too.  An added bonus is that I can find it on my table amongst the wreckage that it becomes after an hour or two.  :D

They look good, much better than the great hulking thing I use.  Are you going to do them online Sally (can't get to FO this year). :(

They are brilliant - I have been using mine. Very sturdy, grips the glass very well and has the added advantage of being on a mandrel so feels great to work with  ;D
