Blade Poll

[Jim McDonald]

Again, these polls are not to start a big debate of what is better, just to see what people are thinking.

 

I can't tell if I told this thing to make the votes visible.  If not, I will post updates or delete and start over.  Jim

I voted FD until I change my mind.

I vote FD. I use the new 3/0 spiral for most of what I do and haven't found anybody else that makes a good one.

[lawson56]

Are you trying to make the poll show it shows who voted for what?  If so, right next to the Poll Title, there's a checkbox that says Make Public.  That will show who voted.  Unfortunately, you can't edit that part of the poll once it's been published.

I use olson because that's what the stores around here carry. 

[Clayton717]

FD all the way

[New Guy]

FD  &  Olson

[Frank Pellow]

It's almost 50-50 for me between Olson and Flying Dutchman. 

 

But, the poll only lets me choose one.  Since Olson was behind in the count when I voted, that's who I voted for.

I am a huge believer in Pegas modified geometry. They work great, especially when I am making the birdhouse ornaments.

FD ultra reverse are a close second.

Sailed right over your head ... huh Marg.

_But did ^{you k_now...}

      Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship that can never make 

                                           port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever.

    Sometimes making heads and tails of the acronyms people use can be daunting.

 

I marked other - I am presently "trying" out different blades.  Since I am doing primarily Intarsia work, and started with a Class with JGR and she is close to "local" for me - I have been primarily using the blades she sells.  They are Platinum Plus and Tough Little Blades.  I have recently purchased some FD and Olsens to give those a try as well since everyone here seems to really like those two brands.

[Mark SW]
