    Hi guys,

    I used my invisiseamer for the first time properly yesterday and was really pleased with how it worked out. The job was a wee bit tricky as one of the long joins also required a cross join. I have to say I was expecting to have a few teething problems using it but to be honest it was fairly straightforward. So a quick thanks to the guys for advice on using it.

    Used a trimmer for the first time aswell and i honestly don't know why I have never got one before - a brilliant tool.

    I would put up some pics but i dont want them jumping through the screen again !! :D

    cheers

    Ray

    great stuff!


    What beats me is all these tools get slatted by fitters. However all the guys i have shown or recommened these sort of tools too all love them after using them! crazy

    Being totally honest when I first practiced using it on my bench with a few off-cuts I was asking myself 'what have I bought this for' , but after a few joins I began to get the hang of it. It truly came into its own yesterday for me though, any doubts or concerns I had about moving it along a join were totally unfounded. Invisiseamer - Definitly worth a try.

    could somebody just try and explain to me how the thing works? why is it in 3 slidey bits and how do you use it on a long join without it going all wonky?

    Oh and can you use it on loop piles or just cut piles?

    Nope. Well you can if they have been manufactored straight so you can cut between the loops.

    But you may aswell use your knife freehand or a row trimmer

    There simple mate. But like most things you need to be shown.

    We have a training center being built at the moment in Birmingham. Im thinking of having a open day for you lot on here to demo tools and play with etc. We will do as "you ask us to show you what you want to see"

    Would you be intrested in coming to that?
