new toy!

[hatam_soferet]

I have the most superest new toy EVER. It's a mechanical eraser, with a super-abrasive erasing part. I can use it to erase mistakes from my parchment. It makes a whizzing noise like a drill, and shaves off all the ink part, and leaves the parchment nearly as smooth as it was before. It's SO much better than using a scalpel. Scalpels leave the surface all scratchy, and it's a beast to write on afterwards. The eraser is yummy; the only difference is that the grain of the parchment is every which way instead of all the same direction, but it's super-smooth, so it doesn't matter. I feel professional :)
