Finally have something "picturesque" to post.
It's not a big project or even done to the highest of standards BUT, it amounted to a world of browny points with the wife. She carries a small screwdriver in her purse for tightening up the screws in glasses frames. Apparently the little plastic handle broke the other day and she asked me if I could glue it back together. Looking at it, I could but it would be a mess and have a questionable life span. Naturally I told her I would just make a new one...
Another instance of spending thousands of dollars on equipment to replace a .05 cent part.
