How do you?

Post by Pierce »

Keep your kids out of you modeling tools. My 18 yr old is a taxidermist and is always taking my hobby blades. He does African animals and goes through slot of them. You would think he would be able to afford his own. Full lion mount 40,000 dollars.

Let him. If he's using your tools you should take a cut of the profit. A couple of bucks for a box x-acto blades turns into 4k if you take 10%.

Good idea. I should make him pay. I'm sure they have blades at the shop he works at but he takes them when he does side jobs at home

Very simple. Don't have any.
Nothing is "idiot proof" because they will always build a better idiot.
