Plus it can go anywhere and still look pretty cool while doing so!<br /><br />I make first aid kits packaged in the ammo pouches, too.A.R.M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11647457788080424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-85889279506546489012012-10-10T07:36:47.741-07:002012-10-10T07:36:47.741-07:00This is a great idea.

It has to be brushed on or the ribbon rubbed over an inked pad.

You know, I've been going back and forth trying to decide between nylon and fishing line, and I think it's going to come down to the machine specified. The nylon will fit the Olivers, no problem, but I admit it is too large for some other machines, so I figure this will be a made-to-order kind of thing.<br /><br />I have so many Mosin pouches you wouldn't believe it. I even use them as mini saddlebags on my scooter!A.R.M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11647457788080424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-49074840948255994162012-10-02T17:32:55.670-07:002012-10-02T17:32:55.670-07:00I think it's very cool.

They cost about $5 at Wallyworld and drug stores, but only $1 or $2 at Dollar General. The bristles are a bit stiffer and longer than a toothbrush and work better on machines like the Olivetti Studio 44 that have a type slug arrangement that is hard to clean with a regular tooth brush.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-26985448039375252062012-10-02T16:27:23.678-07:002012-10-02T16:27:23.678-07:00I think it is quite a neat idea.

The scissors are nice to cut the nylon cord, but I am trying to figure out how this cord would be attached. I tend to use fishing line, as it is thin enough to be able to tie a knot in and still fit around the small tab on the mainspring/carriage. Some of those tabs are rather small, and I cannot imagine being able to tie the nylon around it. Or...do you implement it in some other way?<br />The pouches are a nice touch, and overall it seems like a nice little set-up for traveling with a typewriter. Definitely original!L Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585495720234064210noreply@blogger.com
