Handmade scissors
 

I have to admit I have a scissors fetish. I love old scissors. My son sent me a link - he loves it from a metal working point of view and he knows about my thing for old scissors... I hope you all love watching it it as much as I did: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-28581597

Thanks for sharing - I like old scissors also.

What a lovely story. It is a lost art. The video after the scissors is a great one also. Old weaving machines (Looms). What magic!!! Thanks for sharing.

Would love to be able to get a pair of those scissors.

Great video. Learn something new everyday.

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! Interesting and I loved hearing my late grandad's accent again!

These look like great scissors.

Thanks for that link to buy scissors from the company. Great.

Thanks for that link to buy scissors from the company. Great. About $84.00 for a pair of 10" dressmakers scissors. I'll have to put those on my wish list.

After watching the scissors video (wonderful) and the weaving video afterwards, what piqued my interest was that the scissors guy had been doing his work for like 50 years and the weaver guy looked quite young. It was wonderful to see them both. Hard to believe that the young weaver was able to find the looms, warping mill, and bobbin winder .... and be able to get them up and running also. I was so impressed with them both for what they do and how they are keeping these "crafts" going. So very nice to see. Thanks for posting this link.

*** Thanks for the video & info.
*** Probably will be a dying art just like the cotton mills of the South.

I have a pair of those stork scissors and appreciated to see how they were made and the care that goes into making them. I have a pair of my Grandmother's old scissors and they still cut fine to this day.

Fascinating!!

I think you can search for more info.

I thought I was sending a link for more information how they make the scissors... I hope nobody is upset with me.

Thanks for sharing....
