Who says you can't ...
... teach an old dog a new trick?!?
I'd always cut little strips of masking tape to hold the guides on the blank for wrapping, but, in reading through Al Campbells tips, he suggests holding the guides in place with cotton elastic thread. Whoa!! So much quicker, and neater, and straighter! Wish I'd tried that many blanks ago!
What's that old thing? "Try it, you'll like it". You really will!
