I just cut through 3 green palm fronds with the excellent Victorinox saw in less time than it took me to type this. :cheers:

Moved things around storage to use a closet for coats. Time to move this strange harpoon of a hook.

At a certain point no matter how much torque it wouldn’t budge, so had to switch to a vise grip.

I have used my Wave pliers to fix chain necklaces in the past. Haven’t tried the spirit. I needed the needle nose tip I imagine the spirits aren’t fine enough point.

Spent the day 20ft up on a lift changing ballasts. Snipped a few wires with the Spirit, but didn’t get a pic. Not taking a chance that high up.

There was a burr/loose wire on this desk weight. No problem for the file and pliers.

I don't blame you Ric.  Just post a picture of your Spirit in cases like this.  It doesn't have to be in actual use.

Day 9

Had a project to apply lettering to record board.  Required separating stencils of different blocks for application, tried using the Butterblade, but just had trouble cutting through the Mylar, and had to utilize my Wharncliffe blade to properly slice through the material and cut to proper width.

Both resting on the cutting mat..

My Day 9 is very similar.

I love the chisel tool works very well for opening boxes and there is no worry about cutting through what is inside.

Luckily i didnt need to join so small chain together with pliers, i have seperate link to join chains together, Spirit pliers are just bit too large to do such precise job easily ( i have  done it once to smaller chain) i just needed to shorten chain this time.

Without a doubt the chisel tool is definitely well loved for opening packages and the like here, which got me thinking--maybe I haven't tried using the awl enough of times for package opening, it is not the same, but gotta be way better than all the clean up on blades afterwards.

I can't help but to notice the sudden surge of great food pictures in the last few days, ever since you moving to that cabin.  This may bring great disturbance to the balance of the universe with all the drooling everywhere, so it is important we all know where the chow is just to settle all the restlessness asap... :pok:

Day 10

Had to fetch signature required package from post office this morning, missed Saturday delivery.

Butterblade cut the tape no problem, could not separate the glued flap, tamper resistant box.  Yet cut easily the perforated edge to allow access to contents.  👍

Home sick, but idle hands and all that. Cellar door needs a draft guard.

Step 1 measure once cut twice. Or is it measure twice cut once?  :rofl:

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

There’s a drop in the floor from the threshold to the landing so the draft guard needs attached. A couple of nails held in place with the pliers will do the trick.

If you are talking the awl on aloe SAKs, it doesn’t work as good as blade or Spirit chisel, but does work sufficiently that I refer to use it over the blade to avoid clean up and excess dulling of blade.
