Thank you so much John. I purchased this shear when I took a class during your summer program a number of years ago. I brought it back with me to CA. it never cut straight and I could never figure out the directions for adjusting. So it cuts at a slight angle. I still don’t feel comfortable with disassembling it and adjusting it.
Will you please do a video where you actually take it apart and put back together put . Please. You say it is simple & that one needs much practice. Please help by showing. Thank you.
