Slide the cut off section of shell up the dowel and insert another shell. It is real fast and real easy. The time saving is in cutting directly around the shell rather than a spiral cut which many methods require.
I will try that tonight. I have 100 to trim and am sure I'm going to cut myself the way I was doing it. Great idea, thanks!
