I have a new favorite tool in my collection. Actually, I inherited this years ago and just haven't had a need for it until now. My Sonerai just had fabric on the fuselage and tail and there weren't a lot of curved cuts to make in the fabric so scissor style pinking shears were fine. Not so with the biplane.
The cutting wheel is gear driven and rolls against a solid wheel. The configuration lets you snake through Dacron to make patches and gussets in any shape you can dream up.
Problem is the company went out of business some time ago. Seems like that is the way of all the really neat stuff.
They do show up on E-Bay from time to time and if you could find a set they just might be worth it to have.
