The following is certainly nowhere near the scale or skill level of everything else in this thread, but I wanted to share it anyway.
When I opened the mailbox on Wednesday I was pleasantly surprised to see an unexpected package from Ed. I opened it and found two "clamp spacers" ...
On Thursday morning I set about the task of installing them. First was to gather the tools ...
A center punch, a drill, an air hose and a scrap 2x6 seemed appropriate. Not shown is the belt\disk sander. The red Yaris was not a required tool, it just happened to be there. The beautiful sunny morning was a very welcome bonus.
After one side trip to the Drill Doctor in the basement ... I have an inexpensive 115 bit set that came pre-dulled from the manufacturer. The bits have actually turned out to be quite good given the low initial cost but I have to remember to run them thru the sharpener before first use ... we were ready for assembly and testing.
This pictures shows several things. First is that the photographer should learn how to use his camera. Had he taken the time to RTFM before taking the picture he would have known how to define the area that he wanted the camera to focus on. Instead he end up with a clear picture of the fine selection of bird feeders Bev has in the front yard. Picture composition aside, we also see that the assembly was successful and the testing went well.
In summary, I want to thank Ed for the totally unexpected surprise. I do appreciate it!!
