Got a bit of a rash on my hands and cutting my fingers to ribbons so off to screwfix store for latex gloves and barrier cream. Get a hundred pairs of gloves for £8, forget all about the barrier cream and on my way out spot a Chinese set of number, letter and imperial drills for £28, so grabbed em and went back to the till. "Do you mind telling me what they are cos nobody here knows?", so I tell her best as I can and shoot off home totally forgetting to call in at Tesco and get the shopping.
Today I made a manifold come screw in steam dome. I'd just finished when in comes the missus with an Anzac biscuit, delicious the best she's ever made. A few minutes later she comes back with a little cooking measure that the spot welds have failed and th'andle fell off. "Can you fix this cos I use it a lot?". " No chance", says I. A little later I think " what about rivets?", I've got 100 1/16" copper rivets cos I needed six to hold the boiler together when I solder it. So gets my one and only 1/16" bit, load it in the dremel and try to drill through the handle. Hard as nails, melts drill bit. Then remember chinese set, give it a go and Perfick, cuts like butter. Riveted one hole then drilled tother and job done. She wouldn't give me another biscuit though.
