PACKAGE AND LETTER OPENER

TO MAKE

  1. Attach a small 2" bench vice securely to a table or counter top.
  2. Place a utility knife in the vice and tighten well.
  3. HANDLE WITH CARE!!! Keep fingers well away from blade. Dismantle when the kids visit.
EXTRAS

  1. Use a thin metal pipe to lever the turning rods on the vice for extra tightness.
  2. When not in use cover the blade end with a protective shield. I use a couple of foam cups with a Canadian looney coin ($1) squashed between and the sharp tip digs into the metal if leaned on. Cut cups to fit and tape.
