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 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.
