1898 something (I honestly have no idea, but it seems accurate), meet 2026. This Jacques & Son board shear is my current new obsession. OK, ok overrated & yet you might get the idea. Its an additonal 700 lbs cool cast iron gizmo in the shop —amongst 125,000 pounds of other things floating around— and weirdly (in my mind) it will will be invaluable to my work... Accuracy is one aspect, haptic is another & design might be in the picture. Making an accurate cut on book board is where the rubber meets the road & cast iron is king. I'm not sure how anyone forgot this notion along the way. Look around & quote me if you like.

OK, so, here's the deal & a maybe a bit of a history lesson. There is no fu**in' better way to cut a piece of book board than a Jaques shear. Yeah, I should write the advertisement copy. Ogilvy has nothing on me. That was 139 years ago - I. Need my math app. Stat. And a dopamine reducer.

It's mind-boggling to me how these contraptions were made with the precision required in traditional ways. Younger me went to visit a museum and went like "yo, that's a cool lookin' contraption that can chop your finger off (note, I didn't go "there") to holy moly, the time and skill it required to make such a thing with that level of precision is absolutely mind-boggling and insane by comparison to today's plastic s**t.

All the while typing on the "keyboard" of my phone seems like a tedious exercise and this mo********er doesn't even know what's up or down. I might try voice texting, or kill myself at the same time. The reality we live in is truly unfathomable, and this shear is here to last and will cut your hotdog off.

This thing will take your balls off. I now might own the cleanest and most beautiful Jacques & Son shear you have seen since the civil war (yeah, not the one to come). These mechanical cast iron contraptions are incredibly fascinating to me. I've been using many shears over the years -lets not get into the details- and never found the right one & this beauty is the one to keep.

Every once in a while projects catch fire. I've fired exactly three customers in three+ decades of being in business because they just don't fu**in' get it. Killer concept & design. Man, this book would have been fire. S**t ain't free around here.

Ugh

Forging the thing that needs to look like the real thing. Jane Eyre 2026 edition, made by me. Never would it have occurred to me that that's the s**t I enjoy doing. It's the process of figuring out what to do & where to take it. Can't go to far, just right makes it look so. There is one spot on the cover that bugs me, but so be it...

The crazy part? I didn't have enough time to order the foil plates and came up with a solution that's viable, yet very time-consuming.
