Some people are surprised to learn we marry scissors or shears together like this, using a hammer to adjust the relation of the blades. It's testament to the putters' delicate touch, and to the hardness of the scissors and shears, that this approach is possible.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them. Sydney Smith
