Title: Out with the old....
Post by: Magicman on May 23, 2019, 04:30:10 PM
No, not the sawmill nor I yet, but...my Sawmilling Invoice Binder.  The old Cordura Nylon binder has served me well for 16+ years but the zipper went bad and it now unzips behind the zipper.  Searching for a replacement for an old friend was daunting and frustrating.  No, they don't make three ring 5½X8½ binders anymore, they are now seven ring.  Hole puncher to the rescue.  Cordura is not available and I did not want vinyl, plastic, nor faux so leather it was.

The new one holds the same size paper but it is larger.

It's hard to imagine how many $$$ have been invoiced while looking at that lumber scale. :o

Yup, I will agree that this is trivial, but I really dislike parting with that of which I am comfortable.  I guess that I was being picky so I had no idea that finding a replacement would be so difficult.  Anyway, I believe that I will be be satisfied with this new one.  eBay to the rescue.

My Little World is a hardware store. If you found something you like buy 2,because when you wear it out and come back for another one,it is no longer being made.  :(

Which is kinda what I ran into.  A few months ago I saw one in our store that sells buyouts from fire/flood damaged plus bankrupt stores.  I thought "well that is like mine but mine is still good so I don't need it".  :-\  When mine conked I went looking for it but alas....gone.  :-X

When I was doing cabinet and carpenter work I used one of the aluminum kinda box folders but it did not work well for my sawing business.
