"Dar" the MASTER die cutter.

Just got my first die (that Dar cut,) in the mail today. Tried it out in my little old press, actually, my new, lovely press, and IT WORKS!!!!!!! WOWZA!
I do need to admit, that I tried to cut the die, myself, first. It took TWO days, two packages of sawblades and it didn't EVEN COME CLOSE to working.
Worth EVERY penny, Dar, THANKYOU!!!!!!! (They were obnoxious to cut by hand!) Susanne
Oh, and I finally named my press. I was told by Anne in the class in Maine that it HAD to have a name. She is now fondly called, "Geraldine." My press has a namesake, Geraldine Granger from the BBC comedy, "The Vicar of Dibley." The reason for this, is that she ALWAYS makes me laugh, and the things coming out of my press are sometimes quite laughable. I live in the woods, at 2:00 in the morning the bears and deer around my place hear me laughing, LOUDLY!
