Lest you all think I do nothing but collect weird containers, I
have to redeem myself and share a really nifty gadget I just
learned about today. It is a Japanese tool used somehow in
bookmaking (purchased in a Bay Area store which specializes in
paper and bookmaking), and consists of a VERY sharp tiny steel
tube (the ID looked to be the equivalent of about 18 ga wire)
attached to a bamboo holder. It is used to punch neat tiny holes
in paper. Simply placed the tube on the paper and gently rotate.
There is an enlarged hole on the side of the tube that all the
paper "dots" eventually fall out of. This little tool was a joy
to play with. What a friend uses it for is to make clean holes
in earring cards. They are the perfect size for earwires. The
metal use that also comes to mind ismaking perforated pieces of
leaf or foil for kum boo, or even using the gold dots that
eventually fall out of the tube for some purpose.
Of course, one must have some kind of container to put all those dots into=
