That's funny!
I kept finding small pieces of fabric on the floor. It was so old that I was able to easily tear it apart with my fingers. After some investigation, it turns out it was the fabric covering the v-belt for the table saw. I guess 60+ years is pretty good for a belt, but it was time for a new one. Measuring the old one, I came up with 43.63". The closest standard size to that is 42". So, this belt has stretched more than an inch and a half over the past six decades!

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
