Quote from: drummerboy on April 09, 2025, 07:55:32 AM4 plum trees. And a Felco, Swiss made pruning shears. They are slick...!  All parts are replaceable, they'll last a lifetime

I love things with replaceable parts. Same as cars that you can work on yourself. You may not need to, but at least you know you can.

Some beads, eyepins, and rosary pliers. I'm going to try my hand at rosary making. And some charms and earring findings to make two pairs of earrings.
My Lord and my God.
Ven. Matt Talbot, pray for Tom.

I want to start making my own chain rosaries and chaplets (stainless steel pull chain), but I can't bring myself to spend the $100 for the bead tool!

I know, and I just bought a pruning shears for $70.  But the shears is something I'll use alot, because I have many fruit trees in my yard.  But the bead tool not so much!  I've thought of making out of the ordinary chapters and selling them on Etsy, but the ROI would take awhile
