@therneau's Oupa was my dad, truly a great inventor, but too trusting and a gentle soul. I fully understand @therneau wanting to do this for his Ouma (or OuMama as he called her). I still use the original gem squash cutter and another of his great inventions, a tart or snack platter carrier. Good luck with the competition :):)

I am going to have to investigate this invention further. (had a look) Oh it's a jerky cutter! I was totally expecting a gemstone cutter or something because of the name.

Looks beautiful and well made. <3

This is an amazing invention. I love it! The older generation really have great ways of getting things done. Tell Ouma we know it was Oupa and that South Africa has too many skelms for us not to believe it @therneau.

Awww, thank you so much @bdmomuae (I had to scroll up a few times to make sure I got it right, lol). I'm sure @lizelle will let ouma know and messages such as yours will make her heart smile as it has mine:):)

No problem @therneau. This is a story that deserves some more exposure and this creativity competition is just the thing to help Oupa's invention to be seen. Good luck!
I think I'm on the list for the next competition too ;)

Cool!!! I'll keep an eye out :):)

This is such a great invention and for something that has become a common item in households now too makes it even more amazing to know oupa invented it!!

Good to set the record straight @therneau
