Day 16,
incredibly bad pic of what I did (again) after showering this morning, and meeting a wobbly pommel when I opened the dresser.
I hate wobbly stuff, and this one in particular comes loose almost weekly

(Image removed from quote.)

so I repeated the routine, this time with the Spirit Phillips
Locktite is your friend. :angel:

(Maybe I should actually try it out myself.  :think: :facepalm: )
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Day 16

A few uses today but no action shots. Scraper to remove a label off our sign in board. It's magnetic but someone thought it would be fun to superglue someones on there. Flat driver and pliers to snap the bezel on a colleagues old laptop back into place after she dropped it.

Day 6

Slow day at home, really windy and cold outside. The spirit was around but didn't get much use

Nice, Steve. Our snow is melting and re-freezing into ice. Less fun. I kinda wish Winter would calm down and just stay cold, or, at least, below freezing.   :rant:

Day 17:

(Wow, this challenge is slipping by quickly!)

Used the Spirit while I was working on a sheath for a large folder.

Knife blade was used to trim some pieces after cutting. (The Spirit's blade was sharper than the Exacto knife I used to cut the pieces out in the first place.)



Wrapped the pliers with gaffer's tape to keep the harness needles from being damaged (which leads to breaking).



Used the scissors to trim and snip the sewing threads. This could be done with a knife blade (like I did in my Rebar challenge), but scissors are just a wee bit easier to use with one hand.

Sorry for your troubles, Mech. Hope things sort themselves out, as they usually do. Anything we can do?

Family related stuff.
If everything turns out ok (which is highly unlikely) It'll take some years to get it all back the way it should.

If not, I'll get back to you guys because I'd need to...
