OT Quick question re guillotines

As in paper cutters rather than means of execution.

Does anyone here have one? When did you last use one?

 

<waves> Sarah's been making Xmas cards.

 

Sliding bar thingy - day before yesterday.

 

Also a sliding bar jobbie, but not used it for years.

Bugger, nothing yet

 

No. A sharp knife run along the edge of a steel ruler is my prefered
method of cutting paper down to a size.

 

Got a Staples "Hobby Trimmer":
http://www.staples.co.uk/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=394044. Sometimes
use it loads, sometimes not for weeks. It's several years old, used to cut
paper, card, sometimes plastic. Still very sharp, does a nice clean cut.

 

I think I've got one with a pivoted blade rather than a sliding one. But it
was last seen in the attic and I CBA to find it. IIRC it was a bit pants
too.

Our staff room has one. I used it two weeks ago.

Yes, el cheapo sliding bar type. last used (by me) months ago.

 

1 - they ain't been posted yet
2 - dunno your address
3 - WTF would we be sending some Dutch **** an Xmas card?

 

Sliding thingy. Not used since I stopped having to compose club
magazines without a decent DTP package. No appropriated by SWMBO.

we have a small antiquey one which SWMBO acquired from a car boot sale.

It apparently came out of a very old photographic shop.

I've got a guillotine style one. Used it last week.

 

<googles for paper drills>

Oooo. Now owning one of those would be weird, but I'm satisfied that
my possession of a guillotine is not that unusual.

Validity, we don't need no stinking validity.

 

No idea, Matlock's half an hour away.

Post it nearer the time and I'll see where I am that weekend.
