-- St Augustine FL, Experience is the sum of our mistakes!

I am kind of surprised there are still customers for letter openers. I showed a special teacher how to use a rasp and file so her young student could make one for his parents as a present. They both were pleased with the outcome. Good idea about the CA

Very cool tool, you made it so well…nice and smooth!

Nicely made Jim, letter opener sales are few and far between at the craft market here.

-- Bob C, Australia. Your best teacher is your last mistake.

Pretty slick Jim…I still gets ton of junk mail with the occasional actual important letter thrown in so something like this would be nice to have.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I have node a letter opener in 10 years. I sure hope she shows up tomorrow. I did not put my name on them in case she uses it for a weapon!!. She said to be sure it was real sharp!!

Hi John. I used 2 belt sander for almost the work on these.

Hi Brian, you must be near the coast if you don’t have snow yet. In the lower peninsula of Michigan they have over 8” already.

Cheers, Jim

Great idea. I would never have though of making one out of wood. Must try it.
The CA glue was also clever.
I still get snail mail. I don’t trust companies automatically taking $ from my account.

These looks like a really cool project Jim. Nice work. I like the hardened glue idea. Make sure to wipe your finger prints off in case she uses it on her husband.
