I have finally got around to trying out some electric goods I bought second-hand several years ago. The tooling stove (basically just a hot plate which heats up the bras tools used by bookbinders for gold tooling) worked fine, but my "saddle" stapler left much to be desired.
A saddle stapler for htose not in the know is a powerful stapler the bed of which can be otated so that books or pamhlets sit astride it, enabling the staales to be inserted true and straight. Well, hat is the theory, instead of banging the staples through with a great whoomph, my stapler launched into a noise like a machine gun and not astaple moved. Using my new Skype phone connection I rang the manufacturer, up in Yorkshire, who expressed astonishment that anybody was still using a machine so old, but then I remembered the old electrician who works round the corner from my workshop and took it in to him for a look-see. Now I'm waiting for the verdict, fingers crossed.
