It was for a project in my design and technology course to 'design' a can opener, and I wanted to point out some things couldn't be improved. I probably didn't get a good mark, but hey I was right!<br /><br />Made in France by R-C, it is a simple bit of bent steel with finger grips and a hardened steel cutting point. No moving parts, and needs the occasional sharpening. <br /><br />Not much good for a left-hander though.<br /><br />Charles BootAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-89289303262139763982012-07-02T12:07:07.320+01:002012-07-02T12:07:07.320+01:00Stephen: Thank you so much for tapping the columns...Stephen: Thank you so much for tapping the columns – and for the information about the interior.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-77595409833314669422012-07-02T10:27:09.668+01:002012-07-02T10:27:09.668+01:00I was in Uppingham on Saturday and remembered your...I was in Uppingham on Saturday and remembered your blog. I gave the columns a quick tap, they felt like they were made of wood. There is a good plaster ceiling rose on the first floor and attractive iron banister posts on the stairs.Stephen Barkernoreply@blogger.com
