Probably far more hefty than almost any technician needs; which also, by necessity, raises production costs beyond what many would likely be willing to pay. So I'm working on a more compact version (perhaps BOTH should be made?) with the same uncompromising quality of construction, though. (If you have any ideas along these lines, please email or call me privately.)</span></div> <div><span>       The other hindrance (believe it or not) to my "putting these into production", right now, is that several significant "Hollywood personages" have requested my life story for possible (likely) film adaptation; so, as I'm sure you can understand, I'm focused on recording it. </span><span>But I feel great sympathy for my fellow rebuilders who've been trying to get good results from the "felt cutters" sold to us by tool suppliers for so long, so if you (or anyone else out there) would like to discuss making these by some sort of collaboration, please feel free to contact me.</span></div> <div><span></span> </div> <div><span>Most Sincerely,</span></div> <div><span>Gordon Lee Stelter</span></div> <div><span>(706) 351-7817</span></div> <div> </div> <div>( Euphonious Thumpe )</div> <div> </div> <div>P.S. I apologize to the Sandersons, Bill Spurlock, and anyone else in the Cosmos who's ever used the "Accu" prefix on a product for wimping out and calling the prototype I sent with Jurgen to the S.F. Convention an "Accuslice". As the device has repeatedly reminded me, the name on its birth certificate is, in fact, what is in the subject line of this post.
