Before there was clip art, there were stencils. Will the art of stenciling survive the challenge of technology? It will if you help, my friend. These are sheets of thick paper with a number of complex and very cool stencils, including birds, fish, unicorns, flowers, dragons, a Happy Birthday logo, cars, and more. A total of (16) stencils (average size 2" x 3" ) come in an envelope; since it's just paper (albeit thick paper) and won't last forever, we'll send two sets.

The sky and this tough acid resistant, flame retardant .035" thick vinyl. I always forget how many decimal places to shift for mils - just trust me, this is heavy duty. It has a screen printable gloss finish and is 39-1/2" x 24". Quick experiments here indicate that a Sharpie(tm) will "take" on this stuff, but most markers don't. It's just longing to be cut up into place mats, high chair mats, stencils, art mats, or your craft project.

Slide the index pointer on the edge to select the three letter group of your choice. Lift the lid and the selected page will be displayed. We like it for a stocking stuffer.

Synthets, as you know, are fluffy white creatures with soft, polyfiber fur covering their woven fabric skin. We clubbed a whole flock of them, skinned them, and now offer you this fine fur in 2-1/4" wide strips, 6' long. (If this upsets the synthetic-rights movement, sorry, but a bargain's a bargain.) The fluffy strands stand about 3/4" high. For cruelty-free jacket trim, picture frames, luxurious facial tissue, and animal rights armbands.

Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

In the old days labs, schools and hospitals sterilized and reused things. Nowadays, as part of cost reduction efforts they throw them away. In keeping with this trend, it is no longer possible to get regular scalpels for modelers and home scientists to use for modeling and science projects. But we have gotten some good old fashioned scalpel type blades mounted in plastic handles. They are not sterile and not suitable for medical use. But with care, they are reusable in the home environment. And item for item they are cheaper than the old type, so you may be able to break even on the venture if you use them enough. We suggest that you stock up, however, so that you have a replacement handy if one breaks, the way you used to do with blades. 6" Long OA, they come with snap off blade shields.

Start fires with this heavy iron tray. Roughly 9" x 4" x 2" deep, it has a loop handle on each end, a fire brick inside, and "lid" that is mostly open but with bands to retain the brick. The instructions on the back say to pour kerosene or charcoal lighter over the brick, place it under your logs and fire away. Hook a chain onto a handle to pull the tray out of the ashes for reuse. We suggest you stick to kerosene and restrict use to big outdoor bonfires etc. lest you burn the house down. You will need to furnish a pair of nuts and bolts to secure the lid to the base.

Every 3/8" power drill's best friend. It has a black plastic cone that will fit over a standard chuck with the drill bit for a pilot hole still chucked in place. On the end of the cone is a steel tube with a tip to hold a standard 1/4" screwdriver bit. Leave the driver in the buddy and slip it on and off the chuck to change quickly and easily between drilling pilot holes and driving wood screws. That's what friends are for.
