wasn't trying to impress anyone, just passing on the practices i used as a machinist during my working career before retirement, and continue to use today, so i don't get rusty ! [you know "old" things rust, right ? ]
and don't think for a second i haven't "hacked" together a repair or two [or three !] just to get something back in operation "yesterday" ! even those hacked up messes sometimes surprised me, as well as others, at the longevity and performance they delivered ! that's the reason i was tasked at work to repair items that couldn't be fixed in the "normal" fashion, or was needed RIGHT NOW.
