A learning curve is usually as steep as falling off a very high cliff. One step and You are off to the races.

I was taught a bolt is 1/4" od. or bigger. A screw is anything smaller.

Here is a hint for Someone Who does not have a taper attachment. This pipe chaser is put on square against the tool post,

Here I am cutting a set of splines.

for the first time in My life I had an Irish Traveler (no disrespect to the Irish) stop in. He wanted to tarmac My drive. His truck had a badge on the side that had "road crew" on it. No other company or county name on it. Thank the internet as that was the only way I knew what it was.

FIL had His barn roof painted and it washed off the first rain. He supplied the paint and carefully watched but some how things got switched.

A college jab............ One School bragged, Tower of Learning. Neighbors called it The Heights of Ignorance.

I don't have time to invent a wheel that has been well traveled by some of the giants before Me. Listen, learn, then adapt and over come.

I have seen a drum arrangement used in the USA to make a tapered shaft for the WW2 effort.

I cannot understand how rock dust explodes, but it must. Starting fluid detonates also. Here's how I know. Taken about 1 minute after the event. Whipped the starter cord violently back and hit My hand in the process.

They wanted to encourage fast showers, with minimal water use.

It's bad enough when a part is reworked or scrapped, it's a whole nother thing when the mistake is broadcast around the world.

Working in a screw machine using Geometric chasers once in a while putting the chasers in sequence would not work. Boss showed Us to take and put the chasers out of sequence, instead of 1-2-3-4, He would change it to 1-3-2-4. Or moving the chaser blocks around 1 hole for the start position. Some times they were fidilly but eventually He got them to work. Did not think it would work but it did.

HSS tool bits do not have to come out to be resharpened.

We seem to have raw talent for that.

How about Metric bolt heads on Imperial threads?

Sour dough bread? Thought it was the breakfast of champions.

Rain activated? Sort of like the bobbing birds that drink out of a cup.

It is not what the weapon does, it the user.
