    I would buy a few also, please let us know if he's interested. I would rather purchase from someone on the board and pay more than going to sewing stores to get. Thank you so much, they are beautiful.

    He makes pens and key chains that hold pills. He sells them. So I guess my answer is yes. LOL

    YES!! My dad was incredibly talented and my husband is the least handy man I have ever met. : (

    The seam ripper is gorgeous! I LOVE IT!! Where does he sell them? I can just imagine how good that feels in your hand. Hope it makes the lousy job of ripping out seem better!! : )
    my dad is very handy too but like you DH not so much.

    Oh my goodness, I just love tools with wooden handles. I collect and use them a lot. Even my kitchen wooden spoons are all hand made by artisans(which I take care of properly.) I have large hands for a women and those tiny little rippers just make me mad! Definitely will buy one or two!! Looks a bit like stained birds eye maple. Please do encourage him to continue. Depending upon how long it takes him to make one, I would suggest $10-$12
