Default The Scariest Thing ....

HE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS to make sure there wasn’t a “gotcha!!”

There had to be one washer, nut, bolt or something left over. Its a man thing. It's amazing the project was completed right away. I would have delayed at least 4 times. Mr. Tinkererer, you are a good man.

OK, OK, let me be perfectly clear, yes I did read the instructions, which covered some many different models, probably would have been better NOT to!!

However, I am a firm believer in the theory of MECHANICAL REPRODUCTION:
Every time you take something apart and put it back together, you have parts left over, therefore, if you do this often enough you end up with enough parts to build another device.......

Love this site
