After college was done for me I like every other attendee had lots of stuff left from required classes for your major. I had quite a pile of drafting equipment that was relegated to a shelf in a closet to never see use again. When I started paper patching I thought about the drafting tools and my well used draft board. I will lay out on a sheet of copier paper that I use for jackets a number of patches for a particular caliber bullet. I will then run off copies of the inital page I drew up. If I am happy with the copy I will make a run of 20 or usually more sheets. Now I proceed to use my paper shear to cut the copies into long rows then into individual patches that I will use scissors to cut the end angles as they are already marked for this chore.Robert
