Post by: hedgehog on May 16, 2009, 04:29:04 PM Well done Rob, I hope you strike gold one day, it's not for want of trying that's for sure, nice Vicky. The pastry cutter is interesting think it is 18th century in style , but do wonder how many years it was used for before it hit the dirt , and how many pies it made , and who ate them ;D

Chef Are they strong enough for a leather working tool Chef, interesting , but I thought they would need to be a lot more substantial to work with leather. Tried marking my belt with a screwdriver but the marks disappear after a short time .

From a professional point of view the scalloping is too tight and fine it would have to be very thin pastry to show the effect, and if it was simply for cutting then a flat blade similar to a pizza cutter would be cheaper and easier to make. No it wouldn't work on a belt thickness of leather but what about boots or jackets? Chef Title: Re: Vicky Shilling , and Something that looks like a pastry cutter. Help !

Help ! Post by: Chef Geoff on May 16, 2009, 05:45:13 PM Oh I know Hedgehog, I still use them. but it's the manufacturing needed in the 18th century to produce something that only cuts pastry that bothers me.
