Tools of the Trade

[Paul McCloud]

Hi, Alan:
    Well, to answer your question, you must :
    A. Getting ready to patent your inventions, and you want to be sure you are first with the idea
    B. You have some really old stuff lying around (like match boxes.  Where you got those?)
    C.  You never heard of Spurlock tools
    D. Old habits die hard (if it ain't broke...why buy a new tool?)
    E. You took down your curtains.  Wasn't much to see out that window anyway except maybe the side of the neighbor's house
    F.  The guillotine was a prototype of the original, in miniature, that you found at a French yard sale.  You lost a few fingers trying it out.
    G.  Rube Goldberg would be proud of you.  Now, where did I leave that screwdriver, and my old plastic ruler...
    G.  Ok, I give up.  Tell us the REAL reason!

Some home made tools that I conjured up years ago when I was poor. Strange thing is I still use them. Now what does that tell you?

Regulating Rack using extruded aluminium curtain track



with attachment for adjusting hammer blow



of which this is a close up.



And then there is this ...er...cutting edge technology guillotine.



Here's a way to recycle empty match boxes



The half sizes open up from the other side.
