Thread: What are you working on?

Jerry, your organization is crazy. Maybe you should come hang out in the hoarders corner for a couple of weeks.

The cheap ones can be sharpened easily so more bang for the buck and a half! Lol.

I am giving you a hard time but,

I am the guy that sharpend a disposable potato peeler.

The dollar-store and Ikea scissors seem to take a hell of a beating in the shop, junk-drawer.

You get the kit and take the lessons. Buy some decent quality used ones and practice.
Give some to the girls and guys at the salon/barbershop. Get their input.

As you feel comfortable, you will have some loaners for the customers.

PS, To freshen an old scissors. Use a piece of hardened steel to slide along the cutting edge at about a three degree angle from the bevel and pointed a bit above the flat side. It strengthens the edge and causes a close meeting between the blades. Similar to making scrapers.
