Life just got a little easier
Been in the business far too long to know that trying to cheap on by with the wrong tool (or none at all) is just plain stupid. Oh it might suffice if you only lube your Fetzer valve with 30 weight ball bearings and gauze bandages once every ten years. But anything more frequent than that, if there’s a specialty tool to do the job, do yourself a huge favor and get off your wallet and buy one!
I took my own advice and just purchased a Foredom Rotary Tool which is going to not only up my game in being able to engrave and carve my work faster, it’s going to save my hands and fingers from the countless hours of punishment in trying to file everything by hand.
And my beloved Di-Acro Bender now has a permanent home on one very heavy and solid machine table. No more straddling the thing on the floor and expecting to bend anything with any degree of difficulty.
Now on to the show season.
