GE or Benson? The time has come. Both have pros and cons. Opinions??

 

I prefer short sleeves

 

I was just pondering how long it would take for someone to say that.

 

here's the question about sleeves when wearing a button up shirt do you like to use the first button to make them snug or the second button to keep them a little loose?

 

Second button, as long as the cuff does not flop around...

Come on...real answers

 

this needs to be moved to the knitting forum.

sleeves = clothes = fabric = sewing = close enough to knitting

back on subject though.... GE has sleeved more blocks then anyone else on earth, so they should know a thing or two about sleeving a block. especially a honda block.

and i've never heard anything good about benson's sleeves. i've heard at least 4 different horror stories about dropping benson sleeves.

AEBS and darton also sleeve blocks, but they use a full closed deck design, as where GE uses a semi-closed deck. the closed deck design is stronger, but the semi-closed allows for better cooling. AEBS and darton are also very good from what i hear, though. just a bit more expensive than GE.

hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the answer. I also researched aebs and darton, was not too much of a fan. GE it is.

 

the horror stories u heard about bensons was from other employee's that benson took on to help him out. there are no longer any employees at bensons beside dave(or dan i forget) benson himself. his work is awesome and is just as strong as the semi closed deck that GE offers. if u need a hook up for either type let me know. personally tho i went with GE(the newer style sleeve) and havent had any problems at all. i was debating for about a month before i decided also

 

Benson sleeves

 

Golden eagle (exactly what my block looked like )
