I know. I was referring light-heartedly to the one some people use to make other liquid products, usually kept far away from prying eyes and thus...
Yikes. Maybe don't do it in your kitchen? How about out in the woods? You know, next to the still?
Here's a decent No Drapery 1838 with a repunched 1, although it isn't dramatic. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I vote for S.
A lower-grade raw CC with a nice die crack through the lower portion of the date. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe one last post on the use of acetone: I've been using it in my home machine shop for over 30 years, primarily as a degreaser for machined...
Lovely
This one was given to me by a friend who knew I was looking for a nice proof Franklin for the type set. I didn't photo it very well. All the...

I don't have any personal experience with these craft cutters but my sister-in-law has a Cricut that with her laptop, makes anything you can...
