trimming shells
I've normally used a single edge razor stuck in a dowel to trim shells. Over on another forum it was suggested to use what plumbers use to cut plastic pipe to cut shells. It's made of plastic like a pliers with a cutting blade. Cost at HD was under 10$. I scratch a line on the shell, insert a dowel to keep the shell from deforming, and squeeze the handle a little and rotate squeezing again. If I squeeze too hard the dowel gets marked up quite a bit, but it seems easier especially if you're cutting shells down to 2" or so. Just thought I'd throw a idea out there. Paul
